"snickering" poems
when you went away it was morning (that is,big horses;light feeling up streets;heels taking derbies (where?) a pup hurriedly hunched over swill;one butting trolley imposingly empty;snickering shop doors unlocked by white-grub faces) clothes in delicate hubbub as you stood thinking of anything, maybe the world….But i have wondered since isn’t it odd of you really to lie a sharp agreeable flower between my amused legs kissing with little dints of april,making the obscene shy ******* tickle,laughing when i wilt and wince

When You Went Away It Was Morning
Disappear Into the dark No more pressures, no more worries Free of expectations Judgement is gone I can't disappear No matter where I go Something's following me With sinister red-yellow eyes Snickering at the sight of the tight iron handcuffs. Not allowed to disappear Those handcuffs hold me still I can't be liberated Because no one can save me From the evil force that Is Me.

Disappear
Placed on the spot, People walking by Eyes shift to my direction, Snickering and smiling My anxiety rising Trying to grip reality, My superficial temple artery starts pounding, as my heart rate rises. I can't take this any more I must find the door.

Social Anxiety
The mirrior is my adversary. My eyes variance, what others don't see. To the word I'm adequate, crowning , spotless, and skilled Every morning I wake up, get ready and cover my lips in red majestic mac Red lipstick seems to illuminate confidence in the eyes of many, but to me it is merely a pigmented shield of secrets. Humorous isn't it? Every unmarred life, seeks to relive its pigments Fears, self-doubt, imperfection. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall.. Who's the thinnest of them all... The sound of battle rumbles Conscious at wrists ends Bawling in me Fat, Fat, Fat, Yours tricks are foul, you tauntful mind Vision is blurred from reality, Oh mind how you love to frolic Your sheer joys leave me unpieced, The snickering of my mirror, Damages my frame. Sorrowing fades my red lipstick Pigments revealed, Vulnerable, Unworthy, Marred to the bone Quickly I learned that the mind is the enemy, filled with con Staring in my mirror and all I see is fat. Red lipstick always seems to fade by the end of the night.

Check back soon to resume and consume every tight-lipped, slack-jawed fool in the room. See, it's all what you know as the fires start to grow and the future burns slow. Keep your eyes on the ceiling, and your antenna feelers feelin', for when your senses stop reeling, you will finally start believing. Kick-back to the basics, not too far from the basement, and close enough to show that **** really isn't basic. It's another mid-west, ****** ******** freak show. Another evening drinking whiskey with the seedling's peep-show. So, it's time to relax and relapse into acidified broken synapse. The lights keep flickering and the couples keep bickering: ***** I am not above homicidal snickering.” I steer clear of these diversions, and wander past the sermons, just to chew up all the crooked talk and spittle out inversions. I shovel mockery to hypocrisy, pin-prick the empty ***** whose passions lack predicates, and in the background, I'll be complexifying my medic-kit: ketamine, morphine, ecstasy; marijuana, mushrooms, LSD. Watch those ******* jitter-bug college ***** procreate while sloppy drunk, but keep an honest eye on the flies that will rise above – then fall back down in existential angst, like: “Dear God, why must I be free? Oh, God! Why is every universal eye on me? I'm just another acid war veteran, sneakin' through these gutters with pestilence and bitter sin. When they reach the promised land of golden clouds and holding hands, I'll be underground with the slugs and the spider band.” Yet here I sit, sick of sippin' poisons with illiterates. So, let the skies fall and the buildings crash, as you stand on the wall with a fist full of cash. I'll be on the front lawn, picketing for dawn, while the night around me slowly ambles on.

I want peace in my heart, create black holes in dark memories. Out of the holes crawling spiders, they start to spin webs out of my thoughts, my smallest defeats, my indifference. In these sticky webs they catch my light, swallow my energy, my time. Gorge themselves big and bold. Sometimes I can hear them smacking or maybe they snickering? I don't know. I know. Soon they will burst. Their black, viscous blood will spread. Everywhere in my mind. The last little light will drown in this evil liquid. I will turn again into this ******* zombie. Controlled by darkness...

It's that time of the Patriot's year Postseason playoff games are in full gear The road to the Superbowl, I cheer But not for the big, bad grissly bear That takes every opponent's fate without fear That's right the big bad bear without peer I'm snickering the Patriot's to cry a tear Nothing would make me so happier, I swear Fricken, dicken, bitchen Patriots beware To see another Bostonian tea party, I glare I do show respect at the Patriot's lair Brady and Belicheck what a podded pair Steady, stoic and simulcast, condescending I declare You see a Patriots playoff loss is so rare Their team profile is beyond compare A well oiled machine that wear Goliath close over David with regular fare The road to this year's Superbowl Sunday, I say a prayer That the other teams flag is flying patriotically in the air Logan Robertson 1/11/2019

No To The Patriots Road To The Superbowl
*they would've seen various city lights danced under the stars in the middle of the park at midnight they would've embraced each other on a daily basis palms colliding as their fingertips intertwined they would've exchanged secrets without hesitation snickering to relieve tension they would've dreamed together grasped opportunities whilst remaining side by side they would've grown old together admiring how drastically their surroundings changed and how they succeeded in staying themselves throughout everything they would've lived breathed cherished laughed appreciated loved if he hadn't changed if he hadn't noticed that he did*

The excitement of holiday has waned & suddenly I am on the playground again. I am thankful for my gifts, but they are not enough. I stand at the corner watching all of my friends. Everyone has seen my toys. They are not impressed, no matter how much I love them. No matter how much I love them. Laughter & affection, like Ring Around the Rosie. Another game I am not really a part of. I observe. I see desire on the lips of every child. The way their fingers itch to play with my friends. They glance back from time to time, and a smile I’ve learned to force from the pit and pain of my stomach leaves them satisfied. They carry on playing their games that I don’t really understand the rules of. I’m fine. I am angry. Someone speaks to me. I’ve learned to lie. Even my stories are pathetic. Tales that claw at the base of my brain like the tears kept caged in my throat. No one wants to see me sad. No one wants to see me. I impress no one with my hand-me-down genes. Even I grow tired of them. My blessings are robust but that is not enough for friends. I am not picked. They all wear rings and play house, and in my head I entertain dead things. I better not tell them that. It’s not that we don’t like the same things, they just don’t like me. Can I hear them snickering? They won’t say no but they won’t sleep over. I am the joke when I have no games to play. If I could disappear, maybe then I’d have friends. Don’t they love to watch me go? On this playground full of girls & boys, lingers the stench of envy & top shelf rivalry. My artifacts & ancient dolls, the historic volumes I collect, treasures only precious to me. Let me hide away with these while they show off their shiny things. Perhaps in class I’ll find a friend. Someone with whom to share & offend. To play games no one else understands. Finally. So I wait for that sweet release, A ground on which they can’t compete. A friend to which I am their toy, whom they proudly show to every girl & boy. It is a playground still, it seems. They don’t even know they’re being mean. I just want someone to like me. I’m still waiting for that bell to ring. "Playground" 2/13/04

Your name, has become a curse word that falls from my lips. The picture of you in my head, has become blurred and wants to be forgotten. Your voice, has become a door that lacks oil. The way you move your body, must be because of your deceiving bones. Your rat like eyes, have become the worst color of diarrhea. I know this is not the just the “Call out a back stabbers” poem, lets name the flaws on and in my own skin, that just so happened, to be pointed out by you. As you covered my face in nine pounds of a “makeover”, you said you couldn’t see the flaws on my skin anymore. Flaws? You went far enough to point the pubescent scars. of my lips, cheeks, and chin. The shyness I have of talking to my friends, was pointed out because you didn’t have someone to talk to that night. Excuse me, but I thought the effort of the friendship was supposed to be put forth by both “friends”? Next, near the end of the friendship, you often told me I was a terrible friend. I cried. A lot. Later when that came up, you told me you were just trying to make a point. Why as a friend didn’t you just try to talk to me, instead of trying to start insignificant bull crap? But here I sit now, with friends that could always be so much better than you. I often hear your snickering words behind me a your lunch table, and I turn around and smile at you and your “friend’. You usually **** your head in confusion, but really, that's me. The 15 year old giant ginger with a second graders personality, stinking my pinky finger up at you to flip you off in Chinese, and to say in a nonexistent voice, “frick you”.

You walk to the woods from the mountains too fast; trip over your feet when blades of grass nip at your heels and take up life amongst the low. Flotsam swirls in your wake; silt rises to meet you. The sun sets in deference to your arrival. You walk among a sea of azaleas and fire: bloody-thorned crown: smoke laying low over the ground protecting your footfalls, come to convince me of my damnation, spill mulch in my bed, and track lake water through my rooms. You walk with broken glass in your heels and blood on your cheeks, spilt milk smile and sickly sweet lips, cradling a dead bird and a lead heart in your hands with a gallows leash hanging off your neck, onto the ground. You walk into the house of my elders, the sacred burial ground, the meeting place, the palace, and the bar. You order a scotch on the rocks, a lapis circlet, a book full of secrets, dead man’s blood, and my heart. You walk backwards around the cherry blossom orchard and its overwrought signatures, harrumphing at arrogant petals and snickering birds: politic in reverse and rough lines in slow motion. There is something you forgot: it wears white linen and sits on a rose throne. You loved it, once. You walk to the mountains from the woods, barefoot and starving, caked in mud and licking the shine off your teeth. Your knees are bleeding. Your heart is bleeding

And then it hit me; it had nothing to do with the fact that I tripped over a rock fell and scraped my knee, crushed orange leaves and marred them against me-it'd be tricky to get this off in one wash. I was caught by an overdue epiphany; it had been chasing me since the beginning of everything but I promise it was not the reason I jogged each and every season back and forth-which I suppose also was metaphorically. Nothing was going to change; I got up and brushed my raw hands on my ***** pants, mud stuck to the heel of them and trickles of sweat fell down and made everything that much colder-windy city. If I kept waiting; my breath came is white puffs, rapid and elevated, the sun broke through the thin barrier of gray clouds and I swore just a bit at the state of my ripped pants. For someone to come and alter it; my legs were burning at the sudden discontinuity of motion and thus I got up and stretched once more- my knee was bleeding- inhaled deeply the scent of crushed leaves and began my journey home. It was me all along; Children played,undisturbed by the chilly breezes of Autumn, they fell and laughed merrily as though falling was just a sanguine thing to do. And it wasn't easy, I know; The wind took the tiny tangerine hats off trees, blowing, howling, the leaves soared at the mercy of nature's cycle-death and rebirth- and suddenly my excuse of “what's the point? I'll die anyway.” seemed petty and amusing. I needed to change to change things. A child, unafraid of pain, dove unto a pile of gathered leaves, disappeared in a midst of orange and red after emerging flushed and jolly, snickering and snorting. I crossed the road and reached the door. And after I let water fall and take away the dirt, a stray leaf had made its way to my hair and I did not throw it away but kept it as a reminder of the tumble I took to fall to this conclusion. Autumn fell unto my world, feathers bright like the plumage of a Phoenix bird in flight.

Goons and goblins fill the streets All looking for some tasty sweets, Still, they keep an eye out for a frightening surprise, As snickering laughs fill the night time sky. Could it be a creature lurking between the bushes and leaves? Or worse, a sour, old dentist screaming "Brush your teeth!" Either way these sugar crazed kids travel out once more, Ringing door after door till their knees collapse to the floor. Their eyes are alive, with child hood innocence. As my innocence seems to barely survive Halloween makes me wish I was five.

Insert Title for Cheesy Halloween Poem
I was at the post office the other day, mailing off some letters, waiting in line (patiently waiting), when I see an elderly woman walk in. Grey haired, wrinkled skin, hunched over, cane in hand, walking, walking slowly, the world, run, run, running around her at what must have seemed like to her, 1000 miles per hour. She was having an some kind of issue with her post office box key, i overheard, it wouldn't fit in her post office box, and she wanted the postal worker to help her They kind of shrugged her off like she was a senile old kook, snickering behind her back. I finally got thru the line, and met the woman in the lobby by the post office boxes. "Ma'am, do you need help with your mailbox?" I asked, concerned. "They told me it should work now. They said there was mail blocking it." "Which one is it? Let's see if we can get it to open" I said, taking the key, I inserted it, but it wouldn't work. "Are you sure this is the right box? "Yes", she said, "they said there was mail blocking it." "Then are you sure this is the right key? Look, i can insert it into any of these other boxes, and it still won't turn. So its either the wrong box, or the wrong key." I felt sorry for the woman. I wondered if she understood. She seemed disoriented, confused. She took the key, and brought it closer to her eyes, examining it, studying it, realizing "I must have brought my husbands key by mistake. He's passed away..." I didn't know what to say, I felt so bad for her. "I miss him so much..." she said, key in hand, rubbing it between her thumb and index finger. "I'm sorry." What was i supposed to say at that point? "Oh well," she said, "one day chicken, next day feathers. God bless you for trying to help me."

They keep throwing things at my face Running away from this toxic place. I plead and ask for a confrontation... Nothing to do but accept this mutation. They've been away now, for far too long Maybe it's me, that they see is wrong. I never deserved this kind of treatment, but it's what they do for their own entertainment. I know I'm human, not a toy nor a pet, but it's all the cruelty and the insults I get; Snickering and bickering at my every detriment Always saying: I'm just a failed experiment. They won't come near me, never again. The terror in their eyes, they'll forever retain Seeing the beast that I've now become The wrath I've held in, I finally succumbed.

In This Toxic Wasteland
You wouldn't welsh on a bet with your ****** And you wouldn't go to bed with the mob. You wouldn't mess with a street gang **** No matter if he's crab, or slob. You wouldn't backstab a man on death row, Cause you know he just might **** ya. If you've got the gumption. You wouldn't have it long, If you cross Evil Nurse Sheila. You shouldn't be like the fool who tried To play games with her heart. She left him a crushed, empty man. Well, he was doomed from the start. Sheila isn't a ****** And you'd better not let her hear You snickering about her at the social club. You might not have time to fear. Sheila's makes the headlines Each time she tries to settle down. She plans to live a carefree life, But soon she has to leave town. Everything she does Is warped, but in the name of love. Except when she hates your guts, When it's Sheila you've run afoul of. If you've never heard her story. You'd best take this advise. If you cross her path just keep walking, You best not look back twice. Evil Nurse Sheila's got a heart of stone That looks like a heart of gold. If you are responsible for it's tarnish, There's no hope to which you can hold. Sheila takes no prisoners. She don't take any guff. If she thinks to give you a warning, You'd better not call her bluff. You wouldn't want to rouse her wrath, Because her fury won't be tamed. She's restless, bold and beautiful. She cannot be contained. It seems things have been quiet. She's been off the grid some time. If she thinks that you might suspect her, You may be her next crime.

The Ballad of Sheila Carter
You wouldn't welsh on a bet with your ****** And you wouldn't go to bed with the mob. You wouldn't mess with a street gang **** No matter if he's crab, or slob. You wouldn't backstab a man on death row, Cause you know he just might **** ya. If you've got the gumption. You wouldn't have it long, If you cross Evil Nurse Sheila. You shouldn't be like the fool who tried To play games with her heart. She left him a crushed, empty man. Well, he was doomed from the start. Sheila isn't a ****** And you'd better not let her hear You snickering about her at the social club. You might not have time to fear. Sheila's makes the headlines Each time she tries to settle down. She plans to live a carefree life, But soon she has to leave town. Everything she does Is warped, but in the name of love. Except when she hates your guts, When it's Sheila you've run afoul of. If you've never heard her story. You'd best take this advise. If you cross her path just keep walking, You best not look back twice. Evil Nurse Sheila's got a heart of stone That looks like a heart of gold. If you are responsible for it's tarnish, There's no hope to which you can hold. Sheila takes no prisoners. She don't take any guff. If she thinks to give you a warning, You'd better not call her bluff. You wouldn't want to rouse her wrath, Because her fury won't be tamed. She's restless, bold and beautiful. She cannot be contained. It seems things have been quiet. She's been off the grid some time. If she thinks that you might suspect her, You may be her next crime.

If a tale need be tattled, the snawky Snawk would arise. With its snickley tongue of arsenic blue, and loathsome gamboge eyes. To the King of the stickley Snicklers, the Snawk would spill his talk. But scuttlebutt was all t'was, for he was but a snawky Snawk. Might you ask who am I be? I am a jawky Jawk who talks incessantly of the snawky Snawk, with his snickley tongue, and his breath of kyarn, and Beelzebub dung. You see I knows of him all too well and well he knows of me. Invidious brothers, one of the other, same Mother both have we. Now the snawky Snawk spins yarns so dark and thick and odious. One might find his fatuous canards to be though flatulent, commodious. But If ye be a gawky Gawk of the snawky Snawk beware, For his loathsome camboge eyes can squinny a ribald stare. To your knees his gaze will bring you, you'll tell all the tales you know. Then he'll tattle them to the Snickler King and off to the headsman you will go. That is, unless, you know the ballad the Snawk is most offended by. 'bout the frowzy blowzy stable boy with only just one eye. He lost his eye in a snickering match twixt The Snickley King and he. But got the best of the old nabob, for he could cachinnate you see. He did cachinnate and aggravate, till the old King did concede. The stable boy was the better of the two, his tongue cut like a snickersnee. For the frowzy blowzy stable boy was not able to tell a lie, nor could he mince his words with honey, of the truth he could not hide. And if one day you find yourself in the land of the quidnunc kith. Shun the snickley Snicklers, and their sniggering King forthwith. But if ye meet up with the stable boy though untidy he may be. Dare not tattle of a soul, he'll let fly his snickersnee. And remember well, the ballad he sings, of the King he did do down. Drink in its waspy strain and keep it nigh, lest the snawky Snawk cometh 'round.

Flowers to drown in the pond, Frogs to make a blood bond, Hysterics and cruelty, I laughed, making it echo in the tree trunk, Forgetting classes I just flunked, I rolled in the grass, smelling the green and powdered glass, Ignoring cuts on the nose, Went to frolic in the pink garden rose, ‘Ere I saw a red-black, lovely beetle, Snickering at me, Showing it’s needle, Curiosity, red-sight, Taking it in my hand, Marveling at innocence, I closed the trap, feeling the beetle decay to strands, Despite my mind, my blue heart shed a tear, So lovely the beetle, Without a blue-black fear, So quickly the light rolled away, Murrain of regret, the cruelty that once was disappears, Inside me lays moths and trolls, And now, The lovely beetle’s soul.                                            -Firefly

Lovely Beetle
I was at an art museum and I saw these girls snickering around a Collection of black and white photographs In a corner of the gallery As I approached they moved on But not before I heard one of them say "Who wants to look at pictures of an old guy's **** The photographs in question did have a rather large picture Of an old man's ***** but there we’re others Pictures of his hands, feet, face All zoomed in enough that you could see his skin In detail In the wrinkles, freckles, and weathered lines Of this old man you could see an entire Lifetime on display The time etching into his surface Like the needle into a warm wax cylinder The song of his years played as lines and furrows A venerable road map of a life lived As for the **** I'm sure that thing had some miles put On it too.

Sat in my room for hours, glancing up into the ceiling, confined walls narrowing me in, so deep I land in the pouch of the room, jumping on the trampoline cushions to peek for the exit, but I was stranded, in a cubicle that constricted me in, disallowing my departure, I screamed for help, as the volume of the music heightened, where the ballroom danced, an army of people, drinking champagne and wine, I could hear the sound of laughter roar upstairs into my room where silence could only hear the sound of a choir with bass violins sharpening the wood, as they took a sudden pause, the music ceased, I could hear them snickering silently but visibly, at my exile.
