"sneezes" poems
Little Birds are dining Warily and well, Hid in mossy cell: Hid, I say, by waiters Gorgeous in their gaiters - I've a Tale to tell. Little Birds are feeding Justices with jam, Rich in frizzled ham: Rich, I say, in oysters Haunting shady cloisters - That is what I am. Little Birds are teaching Tigresses to smile, Innocent of guile: Smile, I say, not smirkle - Mouth a semicircle, That's the proper style! Little Birds are sleeping All among the pins, Where the loser wins: Where, I say, he sneezes When and how he pleases - So the Tale begins. Little Birds are writing Interesting books, To be read by cooks: Read, I say, not roasted - Letterpress, when toasted, Loses its good looks. Little Birds are playing Bagpipes on the shore, Where the tourists snore: "Thanks!" they cry. "'Tis thrilling! Take, oh take this shilling! Let us have no more!" Little Birds are bathing Crocodiles in cream, Like a happy dream: Like, but not so lasting - Crocodiles, when fasting, Are not all they seem! Little Birds are choking Baronets with bun, Taught to fire a gun: Taught, I say, to splinter Salmon in the winter - Merely for the fun. Little Birds are hiding Crimes in carpet-bags, Blessed by happy stags: Blessed, I say, though beaten - Since our friends are eaten When the memory flags. Little Birds are tasting Gratitude and gold, Pale with sudden cold: Pale, I say, and wrinkled - When the bells have tinkled, And the Tale is told.

Little Birds
Hailstorms with big winds, trees writhing in breezes Coyotes howling in moonlight, dogs when they sneezes Alloys and carved toys, stone gargoyles with wings These are a few of my favorite things. Skunk smells carried gently on nocturnal breezes Sly double entendres and tickley teases Beautiful salmon colored sunsets that make my jaw drop Smell of pine 'n cedar in my sauna and wood shop! Dolphins and doggies and toddlers and mooses Saunas and cold plunges and honking V-flying gooses Small mutts and storytellers and Pixar cartoons Crazy call of the Maine dark of night loons These are some of my nurturing tunes! Volcanoes with lava and magma all oozing Cross country skiing just gliding and cruising Receiving massages unwinding and unbruising I love my collections of adhesives and strings These are a few of my favorite things! So when the wasps sting When the bored people whine Wen I'm feeling dispirited and sad I just think of a few of my favorite things And I don't feel…so…bad!

Two Friends at a Movie-- for my friend, Joanne

Windex mice squeak through the windows, biting newspaper as it scrapes across. Soap from a new age fills the kitchen, sheeps' fat long forgotten, the sod-house of Laura Ingalls Wilder left behind with its crumbling Lincoln logs, the ceiling that drops dirt crumbs like a gritty pastry. Our world is shiny, so blinding that even the cough of newsprint makes it brighter. A bottle sneezes across the counter, spurts those bubbles of ammonia, gathers with the rivers and tides that surge with ethanol, it bursts the air with a neon smell and erases everything that has come before.

Cleaning
I’ve ordered and carried my steaming cup of brown to my table to ignore the falling snow beyond the walls of this box. My clothes are wrong, my hair as well. I just cut it, and everyone knows which mistakes I made. A man sneezes and the song changes. Better not make eye contact with anyone; I am not in their league, here at the muddy spoon cafe. Chewing so loudly in the de-creeping silence, these safe, polite, quiet ones. I am the creep here. I am different. My thighs are tense. Hunching over the paper, arms tense and clutching  a gnarled red pen-- It’s probably self-indulgent to even sign my name. Someone’s shuffling cards. I almost forgot. The awkwardness I’m filled with breathes out a short sigh when I realize --my part’s over. “Do you know Sanskrit? Do you know what that is?” A woman asks another. I want to choke on the pretension The tenseness, I adjust my leg to relieve pressure on my ankle. Why can’t I just enjoy the snow? That’s all I really came here for-- well, and the coffee. I hear a woman cough with an unaffected tenor, which would convey her gender to an interested party but to me carries no intonation. I wonder if the girl I recognize from class thinks I’m following her. I came here for coffee, sweetheart! Is it yet too hot for me to dare a drink? I can see it, the steam, rising out of the corner of my eye. I haven’t looked away from my hand in twenty minutes. “Who am I?” they may be asking myself for me. I don’t have a clue. They can think about that problem for themselves while they’re lonely in their forties. I’m lonely now and I hope not to live that long. Here, we pretend not to see each other’s faces in the gleaming presence of steaming cups. “I don’t want to wonder about that.” I realize there’s nothing I even deem worth writing down.

Hayfever
Don't be scared to sneeze in MATH105 Blow these numbers off the page, so I can finally have an excuse to Blow off some time with you I want to memorize what that sneeze sounds like, unique to the individual Each sound varies upon sneezers voice, allergies, voice box, larynx, even personality If that's all true, I bet even you, sneeze as **** as a mother ****** The only thing that I want more wet and slimey than the inside of your elbow, Is the way we make love "Oh baby, that's it! Sneeze for me! Sneeze harder! Sneezed like you've never sneezed for a man before and then sneeze harder!" Don't EVER hold a sneeze back! You're not only killing brain cells But killing me as well! I want to see what kind of tornados you can throw when a dust storm gets at you What demons are you hiding, not letting Christ expel Don't be ashamed! Are you scared that just you're sneeze Will create tsunami waves of attention If so! I'm buying a front row ticket wearing nothing but arm floaties and a rain coat If you get sick, kiss me with your breathe And well get over this cold- feet together I want to know your sneeze so when we Are cooking dinner, you can be half way through inhale And I'll have a tissue and the words "Bless you" Already trotting outta my mouth I want to be the blessed one To be within hearing distance Be able to bless you back See you come outta your shell for .237 seconds There to catch the science of your anatomy jumping off the cliff of your nose I want to be in the bookstore, Reading super hero graphic novels And hear you in your boredom two floors up at Starbucks, sneeze, And be able to say "YES! THATS MY MAN!!" You hear that one Peter Parker? Try to dodge your spidey-sense around that one! That's a sneeze that'd make the phone booth go inside Clark Kent! We'll have two kids, named Gesundheit and Salud The cat's name will be Ah-Choo Unless you're allergic to cats Then scratch the kids, we'll have A cat zoo! So I can hear the symphony Of your nostrils on the daily If you think this poem is gross Wait tell you see the way I sneeze When I'm thinking of you

about pictures of bears without any fur, and they look horrendously terrifying. Like ****** space gorillas you see in poorly done sci-fi movies. Do you think panda bears are still the cutest bear without any fur? I wonder if dragons get lung cancer from all the smoking they do. I'd rather think about a hairless panda bear breathing fire--it's jaws sinking into the underbelly of a mortally wounded dragon and as it starts munching on the dragon pancreas, it accidentally sneezes causing it's lunch to incinerate to ashes. That's probably why dragons are extinct. Hairless panda bears donned armor, riding horses; questing to eat dragon pancreas. They also thought amor prevented lung cancer. It was the middle ages, people or animals didn't have modern technology to explain diseases, let alone where babies came from. Except for dragons, and look at how their species turned out. **** I'm throwing my phone in the toilet right now.

This morning i was thinking
1. there once was a poem who climbed into a paper boat              and sailed on to the moon              not a moment too soon for they came to lock the sun away! 2. best not mount this whippy one rock-a-billy wild carriage               ride me to the city's end               don't drive me round the bend we can always try a bold bovary-move! 3. look into the fire and sing a song about the lonely, tarrying sea                oh sailor, make it sweet                then I'll put it up on tweet and nary mind; make your children's lullaby. 4. I gives ya posies bright and gay come sit by me...closer, dear                 she smells, then sneezes                 oh, he didn't know how to please her her floral allergies packed him off for good. 5. there was a lazy man from Shadder who said 'twas too cold to empty his bladder                   so, he sent it a-walkies                   off alone to the loo well, it just drove his wife madder!

And with that she began nursing her child again, singing a sort of lullaby to it as she did so, and giving it a vio­ lent shake at the end of every line: -- -- "Speak roughly to your little boy, And beat him when he sneezes; He only does it to annoy, Because he knows it teases."CHORUS (in which the cook and the baby joined): -- -- "Wow! wow! wow!"While the Duchess sang the second verse of the song, she kept tossing the baby violently up and down, and the poor little thing howled so, that Alice could hardly hear the words: -- -- "I speak severely to my boy, I beat him when he sneezes; For he can thoroughly enjoy The pepper when he pleases!" CHORUS"Wow! wow! wow!"

Speak Roughly to Your Little Boy
ME: I’ve called you all here today to ask you something. BROTHER 1: [looking sideways at the door] BROTHER 2: Hmm. MOM: [smiling widely in that way that says she knows] DAD: [smiling widely in that way that says he doesn’t] ME: To be frank, I don’t think you all like each other very much. Is that true? MOM: [smile gets tighter, hand reaches towards phone] DAD: No, it’s not. [scratching side of head nervously] BROTHER 2: Hmm. BROTHER 1: You all bore me. ME: We know we do. MOM: [typing furiously] [silence punctuated by dog licking his leg] ME: So, now what? BROTHER 1: [rolling eyes slowly and obviously] What do you mean, now what? ME: Well, I mean where do we go from here? MOM: We don’t. We just stay here or nothing at all. BROTHER 2: Hmm. DAD: What else can we do? How do we know doing anything at all would be better? ME: I am tired of writing poems in my head about us. We have to do something. [silence punctuated by dog coughing] BROTHER 1: **** you and your poems. Do you want to hang out? MOM: I love you all but I can’t stand any of you. BROTHER 2: Can we be done now? ME: We’ll never be done. ALL: We’ll never be done. [dog sneezes]

Conversation between my family members, in one act
Prologue: People have their own sneezes and that is surely fine, but you need these top-notch instructions for a faultless sneeze. I will instruct you on the fine art of how to make everyone in the room feel badly for not saying "Bless you!" You will find the results of your new sneeze to be utterly awesome. People will enjoy hearing you sneeze and wonder how you perfected such a basic human function. You will love your "after" sneeze and wonder how you could ever live with your "before" sneeze. Be an "after" and stay an "after!" STEP 1: Start by breathing heavily. Gasp for air, inhale deeply. Don't make your peers think you are merely snorfling. Don't make them think you're some kind of schmuck. You want to sneeze like royalty. Take in that breath and inhale proudly. STEP 2: Rise a little, maybe even stand up, to open up the lungs. STEP 3: Let it loose, make it loud and sneeze with gusto. Make your sneeze noticeable to otherwise oblivious teachers who only notice wrong answers and very obvious text messaging during class time. Make your sneeze a TRUE distraction. STEP 4 : Before anyone says a thing, bless yourself as if no one is there, as if you were in your room all alone int he dark of the shadows where the sound of the bed creaking scares you half to death. Where the thing under your bed says means things to you while you try to drift off to sleep--where loneliness and death meet and...sorry. I got carried away. To recap step four, talk to yourself. Refer to suggestions below*. STEP 5: If no one speaks, begin to cry. Moan and wail. Wonder aloud why no one takes the moment to wish you well in your time of need. IN CONCLUSION: If none of this works to gain you attention, the blow me down and call me Sally. It's time to choose new classmates. By golly, they must be the most putrid thing any baby spit up if they don't' stop for a second and wish you a very bless-ed life from here on out. *SUGGESTIONS BELOW: "Achoo! Excuse me, bless me." "Hachoooo! Gesundheit." "Achew! Bless my soul." Warning: Sneezes have been known to spread disease. Sneeze responsibly!

I lay and wait to sail the seas of infinity Black fabric catching nebulous breezes As an ancient god of mythology sneezes The wooden ship creeks never stealthy But noisy as hell seeing the cosmic swells Of eternity’s well My skin burns with the razor whips Of solar ray that phase through Time and space Razing all darkness in its’ way My vision once darkened by the void Now explodes with spatial wonder My skin is shredded by the fury Of burning nebulous gasses Particles of space dust envelope me Incinerating every cell of me I burn in orange, brown, purple and blue hues Spiraling vapors consume the ship to No howls of pain echo in the vacuum There is no struggle My hands hold tightly to the sword of my youth I wear my rigamortis with pride as I slide Up and into the gates of Valhalla A white and fluffy faced man stares at me Laughing half heartedly And says Hey you got the wrong gate Valhalla loads down the ways at station eight This is the Judaic station

It was my first time meeting A’s grandmother- I brought her flowers Laid out on A’s den floor I begun writing this poem While A watches anime- English subbed We are supposed to be studying- we did for a while but E has been on the same page for half an hour As C sits atop a table- making bird noises from above We move to the dining room because A’s grandmother made noodles and egg rolls E is ******* up his noodles like a vacuum I don't blame him- they taste like Jesus C sneezes so loud it makes everyone jump I look around the table, thinking of the past year And all the friends i've made Love, Platonic love, is beautiful

He shyly looks at her. Everything seemed to quieten to this lovely silence; a stillness which is pierced by his own steady and sure heartbeat. By the way her nose twitches slightly and her red lips flutters a little, she is just about to sneeze. Ha. Adorable lady. Bless you? Bless those eyes that inexplicably managed to see through the gossamer veils of good and the bad and above all, me. Bless those crimson -No, it is actually a meld of strawberry and raspberry stains. But I won't tell her that just yet.- cheeks. Bless that lovely soul that you have, the kind that lights up your eyes and peek-a-boos in your smile. Sweet-heart, you could never be scary anyway. & And & bless that smile which can flicker one on my lips. She sneezes, blissfully oblivious to all these little words that flit around her. "Bless you, sweets." He whispers, like he always, always does.

Bless you
spores! spores! fluttering demon spawn everywhere! fluffy white bleached miniscule chimney sweep umbrellas cascading down like so many newly born spiders on their silky web shoots coming over the hill and roof to attack traversing miles to my nose which weeps in sneezes so magnificent they'd frighten off an elephant I tell you, for every reproductive winged plant seedling I will counter with fifteen crumpled white tissues evil evil pollen, the curse, the allergy, which trapped me in the castle in my youth, on many a lovely spring day

A real goodnight prayer
Eyes that flash the soul of civilization And warm the heart in observation. Love that whispers with a gentle touch And surrounds with hugs that seem so much. Cry Beloved! Water that caresses with a thousand tongues Sunshine that coos all the birds’ songs Teachers and vets, pronouns and clowns Croissants, marmalade, coffee and new lawns. Cry Beloved! Breezes and sneezes, walks by the shore Seashells that capture all the sea’s roar Powdery sand and laconic lagoons Daydreams and naps in the afternoons Cry Beloved! Smiles, museums, carriages in the park Salads with friends and chocolates too dark Rowing among lily pads and turtles and frogs Hiking and crossing the streams on new logs. Cry Beloved! Flowers and bees buzzing in the sun Hummingbirds hovering, dogs on the run Children running, giggles and wiggles Caring, learning, reading and snuggles Cry Beloved! Snowy mountains, valleys green Faith proclaimed, faith unseen Wonder and ponder, awe and reverence Invitations from God to join in the dance Cry beloved! Hands held together in prayer and in love Eyes raised to heaven on the wings of a dove Caring so deep, affection so real Feel the love and start to heal Cry My Beloved!

i wonder if her toes crack if she sneezes three times if i dipped my fingers into all that hate would they come out black dripping ink. you know, i tried to remember last year and how that felt. i tried to remember and i’m drawing a blank. a splattering of starlight a shattering of salt on her lips and the way she spoke to him. i’m not sure if this hurts you. the way it’s always about a girl.

(sorry i got *** on your floor)
To know or not to know that is the question. I mean; I already know, I took it once. Yet that once was back before the continuous onset of diarrhea (which could have been caused by the accidental switch up of my stir fry or the unending pastries I filled myself with), before the sniffles and the sneezes (caused by the cold wearing a too thin jacket to the gym), before the exhaustion (wack sleep schedule). I knew before all of that. And even then, that know was a rapid test (but still a test) which could’ve been wrong. So, should I? Should I take it again? Or should I go about my day, and attend dance practice with none the wiser? …still there? Hey, where’s she gone? Oh, she’s at dance practice.

To Know or not to Know
Nails the length of javelins click on countertop with the speed of a coked-up woodpecker as this goddess of the night with bullets of caked foundation sweating from her forehead awaits her fifth free Long Island of the night. Safe to say, she's a little high maintenance, like all treasured centerpieces of a local museum deserve to be. She is your generation's Mona Lisa, trust. Her sneezes will be dissected for coding. Like the rust on buried Babylonian armor, she lives sandwiched between myth and reality. A Frankenstein of queer iconography, door-knocker earrings designed by Adrian. Stilts for heels clack on blinking dancefloor, balancing a hermaphroditic echo that charges through hieroglyphic binaries with a four-on-the-floor precision.

she sneezesas the breezes carry the pollen to her nostrils she is small and somewhat frail but when she sneezes she creates more than breezes she makes a gale and the noise is like thunder as her lungs do the rumba all in order to expell the pollen from her being her eyes cross and fixate on an ephemeral state in order to calibrate the legnth of the ah in her ah-choo sometimes it is large and elongated sometimes small delicate statacco and then again it may be somewhere in between the two and after she sneezes and gales and wheezes...she seems stunned by the fuss and disharmony she created by nasal cacophony and in her daze, the taps her nose and says quite clearly good old faithful.... .....thar she blows

Mrs Blunt and her extraordinary nose
Every moment, we are wasting away- Our poor, dejected ambitions Float empty Atop a sea of partially sane intentions Kept by a god With a pension for deceit. Tick tock, Crazy never comes on time- And three sneezes mean an unsuspected Guest. Dilapidated hours Wear thin As they desperately reach to cover The long, convoluted skeleton Of youth. Remnants of the past prevail, Buried deep beneath Cedar floors and $50 graveyard slots, In all it's half attainable glory, Strewn out across A marble coffin, Like heavy dice Waiting to tumble down Into reality. The old bell tower, Cracks and screeches Her unrequited laments To the indifferent sky- Every evening at 5:01. With each hollow ring, Age seeps through our pores, Mixing in and diluting our dreams, Sinking down into the deepest crevice of our Contorted being. Tick Tock, time can only dance if there's a rhythm: The beating of our hearts Sounds on, vibrating off The hollow cavity Which should hold something Living. Nothing's real here, As our insignificant lives Race each other down the dim and slippery Hallway that is life. Until sooner or later, One by one, We all lose our footing And fall down the rabbits hole To meet something like Death- the only evidence that we were ever Alive. Hour hands reach out from their miniature sphere: A cyclical world full of half past ten And white empty spaces between Vacant numbers, Grasping our warm Pulsing bodies, And pulling us closer Towards something almost like The End- Tick tock, Russian Roulette is only lucky Until it's over.
