"sprayed" poems
the cockroach crouched against the tile while I was ******* and as I turned my head he hauled his **** into a crack. I got the can and sprayed and sprayed and sprayed and finally the roach came out and gave me a very ***** look. then he fell down into the bathtub and I watched him dying with a subtle pleasure because I paid rent and he didn't. I picked him up with some greenblue toilet paper and flushed him away. that's all there was to that, except around Hollywood and Western we have to keep doing it. they say some day that tribe is going to inherit the earth but we're going to make them wait a few months.

cockroach
Jack and Jill ran up the hill, To perv on miss muffin Getting her fill, She was getting it hard boiled From Humpy Dumpty, Who fell of the wall, Yolk sprayed up her back, Her screaming she wanted more. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary... How did you make it grow, You played with the bells, And my cockle shells and it did grow, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary Not much words to show, A mouth your good at what you do, Mary my sweet little bike I like to ride so. Old Mother Hubbard Liked it up the back cupboard, From the younger gents She knows, She liked to **** meat till the marrow Did flow swallowed the lot in one go, Now empty is the bone. Who thought a lady in years, Had all this energy on the go...

Naughty Rhymes Jack & Jill & Friends
She has her own star Down on the boulevard Where they all line up to see her Welcome to her life Welcome to her world Her life did not go as planned She thought the whole world was in her hands She craves intimacy in the worst way But has to settle for whatever the fellows are paying for that day She parades around on her concrete stars perfumed and sprayed Hopeful that someone will find her desirable rather than doubtful Wears tons of makeup Smokes two packs a day She thinks the sooner she leaves this world the better She had a plan she had a path Before that monster stole her soul and caused her wrath Now alcohol and drugs help numb her pain Nothing but a ghost girl remains The other girl shed herself just a pile of skin left on the floor This new person is all anyone will see anymore She does have a good heart but rarely uses it too many people have let her down No one ever tries to see the person that she is they never stop to hear her story They say it's hard work to look that easy Some may even call her ****** But not me

It's Hard Work to Look that Easy
It's so funny when people say make lemonade! Because all the lemons I've ever been given, have been moldy and much to bruised to truly make some good lemonade to get me through the day. And secondly where am I suppose to get the sugar from? Water is easy I can just use the tears from the times when the lemons were sprayed in my eyes instead of given to me. But sugar? It that a joke?Life has never been that sweet. For all those who say when "when life gives you lemons make lemonade"...I'd like you to have the first drink of my moldy lemon,tear water, no sugar... Lemonade.

When Life gives you Lemons...
*Our fathers…dead, our policies…dead, Ancestors jealous coz our prophecy’s ahead…! **** that, I heard they're filled with so much dread, That’s why this world was too small for the both of us to break bread… Look, now my people are dying sprayed with lead… I could’ve chosen to live this life with you instead, And put a stop to these signs coloured Red!!! Inspired from the words of a poet I read...*

Cries of a fatherless generation
Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Being bled onto The landscapes between thighs Incarcerating women's wombs Justifying men's genes Foreigners appropriating Women's and men's sexualities Losing the power to be When changing our roles' long overdue Gendering our words and attitudes Man, who taught you to be a chauvinist! Woman, who taught you to be a ********* Don't put your god in gendered bigotry Do man's emotions feminize him? When will women freely carry torches! What gender do you assign this voice? What gender do you assign this words? Will the masses even understand these choices? Don't worry, my sexuality won't infect you Criminalizing sexuality Placing it front and center, implying that's all I am Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Being bled onto The landscapes between thighs Graffiti, defiling the masses not high classes Because men and women of society Full of stride, take pride, in their gendered hyde Graffiti, defiling the masses not high classes Ignored hoods, barrios, countrysides, ghettos, projects Devouring women's and men's bodies Younger and younger people falling to HIV/AIDS and STDS Vaginas receiving the violence, wombs bringing misery LGBT youth ****** into fire Lost males (in mental chains) ****** to assert their manhoods Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Full of dangerous chemicals, being sprayed onto The landscapes between thighs Attempting to legislate our stories, without warrant

Graffiti (Between Landscapes of Thighs)
For the first two months of college I didn’t speak Convinced everyone here are hillbilly freaks Then you asked to borrow my paint brush Long brown hair in a bun and brows so lush I gave it to you in a heartbeat Because you were the first person I thought was neat Im still not sure how I got so lucky to befriend you I’ve never felt a connection this real and true When we sit in the forest smoking **** and cigarettes And you’re still wearing the same paint covered sweats Singing to Rihannon by Fleetwood Mac I felt myself gaining my soul back I can’t decipher what’s hiding behind your dark brown eyes But your passion for art is as tall as the skies You inspired me to change my point of view Maybe this place isnt so bad, who knew Your kindness cracked my heart’s thick shell And painted the lines with shades of pastel No boy ever told me they cried when they moved away Your open and truthful soul makes everything ok The freckles sprayed on your cheeks are like artwork That’s a companion piece to your crooked smirk I cried thinking we would drift apart once school’s done But you told me we’ll always be friends in the long run So Thank you Thank you for being my friend Thank you for being who you are

Fleetwood Mac & Cigarettes
One word is all it takes To explode a seemingly Perfect output Smashed! One nose Dive after the other Straight as a pole turned, Askew with every turn. A jab, a punch as scraps appear. A pinch and a puncture Hurts like never before. Until blood and matter Sprayed on the cold asphalt While everything occurs, You watch. Soundlessly It takes effect but you Just watch it happen You realize one singular, Grand idea whilst pain climaxes Life goes on.

Word-turn Accident
An absence reversed Beheld Belonging Fuming lush greenery seemingly Between the frothing Soup and lather twinkling Speaking "Tradition may act dishonestly" All and sundry Trails along merrily For traditionally All is how it should be Belonging to one and only. Binding A trade between the thin lines A baking sheet made sprayed messy Artists in threes Shakers of mountains for invisible ease The truth is simply Things done traditionally All-in consuming historically. Flesh Released Is fresh Relief Hidden in the fabric's sleeve A gaping passage of air and breeze Racing electricity Breathtaking silk from worms And worms eaten by birds Tradition Sewing the dresses of Empress the third. Halt Her plea worth salt and sugar Still Like the skater's Minted odour Hope Distances the valleys low dipped to the everlasted rivers Where a time arrives for eternal celebration. The embellishments of Unwavered tradition.

Tradition's all
Oh banana peel, your colors vibrant and fluctuating. The 3-D spots of speckled brown, deep and pure, yellow and sun sprayed, swaying in the trees, lackadaisical in manner. Oh banana peel, protect you from our bile. If i could have a peel of my own, a comfy womb; yellow and sweet. I too would sway in the trees lackadaisical in manner. The Sunday, sun spray sprawled across, my green to yellow to brown, my sour to sweet, to soft and cream Oh banana peel, others discard you hastily in the banana peel sunset. But to me, you are beautiful.

Banana Peel
I visited the place where we last met. Nothing was changed, the gardens were well-tended, The fountains sprayed their usual steady jet; There was no sign that anything had ended And nothing to instruct me to forget. The thoughtless birds that shook out of the trees, Singing an ecstasy I could not share, Played cunning in my thoughts. Surely in these Pleasures there could not be a pain to bear Or any discord shake the level breeze. It was because the place was just the same That made your absence seem a savage force, For under all the gentleness there came An earthquake tremor: Fountain, birds and grass Were shaken by my thinking of your name.

Absence
I am from Pakistan... Yesterday on 16 December, 2014 our city Peshawar got attacked. Terrorism at it's peak! Innocent kids and teachers were brutally killed by the terrorists. These martyrs didn't know that there life was going to end like this! My whole nation is bleeding.teachers were burnt in front of their students. Bullets were sprayed on innocent lives. THIS ISN'T HUMANITY! THIS ISN'T WHAT ISLAM TEACHES! THOSE TERRORISTS **** OTHERS IN THE NAME OF GOD BUT THIS ISN'T WHAT GOD WANTS FROM US. I REQUEST you all to pray for the young martyrs because humanity has no Boundaries! Thankyou.

Need Your Attention!
The pick All the stress that an orange has caused is painful. It is painful for the tree from which it came. Snatched away with promises of sweetness. A tree mostly green, engulfing Small speckles of that deceptive orange. It was such a bright colour – high hopes! Handpicked by a man only looking for the best, Choosing poorly not for the first time. The green leaves frantically try to reclaim what’s theirs. Branch after branch reaching out, trying to uproot him. Close, so close. But they are a sea apart, At least an apple has a core, a heart. The peel Now it is pilfered, the painful process begins, Never quite ending: disappointment beckons. To try and taste these orange juices You soldiers must bear the burden. Each soldier, a finger digging themselves Into the tough stressful shell. Fingernails stained with orange blood, Eyes blinded by the same tangy juices. It never slips off in one go Like a roomy balaclava, But crumbles like the remnants of a bombing. Brick by brick, orange by orange it crumbles. Now it is finally undone But neither tree nor man has won. The preparation The crust collapsed, but now It is time to untangle the web the mantle holds. First, a division – the separation of brothers Who served side by side at birth. Dissected by these soldiers Acting as a bomb squad, Searching for those hidden pips. Found, but not without casualties – Sticky fingers with no taps in sight. Once removed the web is untangled. Tired, he hopes that the stress will swiftly end Unaware that the sweetness was just pretend. The pain Finally the moment has arrived And illogical ceremonies commence. I fear the celebration is far too soon, For as white touches orange and tries So desperately to unite, The tartly taste slays the poor man’s buds: Igniting like petrol on his burning tongue. He wishes he could return that orange To the green tree to which it belongs, To return a bullet-sprayed windscreen is not an option. The orange, once bitten, enjoys its trance Latching on to those pained tingling taste buds. His orange, a disaster to undress: Bad taste – a foolish price for such a mess.

Smelly Feet In the sun, feel the heat, and the odor of my smelly feet. All people squeezing their nose, from the cheese between my toes. Shoes melted on the road, smell spreading to the next zip code. Even I'm wearing a gas mask, sipping whiskey from my flask. Feet burning as I start to run, stick a fork in them, they're done. Still a mile left to go, I can see my feet as they glow. Leaving melting skin far behind, left sunglasses home and going blind. Hot tar starting to melt, I'd do anything for a conveyor belt. Soaking feet when I get home, Pretty soon, I will see bone. My house is just down the block, vultures circling as they stalk. Getting worse is the odor, laughing at me is the Caddyshack gopher. The Rock wants to know what I'm cooking, it's my feet, that is brewing. The smell is spreading worldwide, my feet are now Kentucky fried. People cheer as I reach my door, **** my feet are very sore. Sprayed my feet with tough acting Tinactin, burned so bad it melted the rest of my skin. Soaked my bones in cold water, never have I felt a road more hotter. Sprayed Fabreze for about an hour, then I took a long cold shower. Moonshine and pain pills dull my pain, it was my own fault so can't complain. Now I wear special shoes, my smelly ***** feet even made the news.

Smelly Foot
we had been mopping the kitchen floor all day and the dirt never stopped coming back and earlier we had sprayed the entire front porch down with the garden hose and now it was still wet which made it feel as if it had recently rained when in fact the grass was a crunchy brown carpet of regrets. the night before we had drunk orange smoothies laced with lime and something aged sleek and dark (i think it must have been the reason we couldn't sleep that night lay awake in my parents bed and i told you why i wouldn't go swimming until the sun rose the dog barked the birds screamed their morning songs and my body stopped its nightly spasms of fear.) and the next evening we put on a miranda lambert song (the one we drank to in your mother's van last winter) sat on the wet porch swing and cracked open our first beers they were really bad i gagged because it tasted like carbonated banana bread with too much stale baking soda and we poured half of them into the flower beds the next morning was sunday and we had milk and muffins in the kitchen with simon and garfunkel then went back out to the porch drank iced coffee in the eleven o'clock sunlight and you said "if this were a normal sunday i would have been up at six at church by eight and done teaching my first sunday school class by ten." (is beer as much of an acquired taste as coffee is? because i can't ever remember not liking it i used to think it was bitter but i always liked it anyway.) i didn't say anything because i didn't want to say what was on the tip of my tongue that this kind of sunday had become my normalcy and our variety of saturday night no longer felt like underage drinking and more like the way i was meant to be.

I was awoken from a dreamless sleep      By a boy with short brown hair,      Who, with an urgent stare, Told me to head to the showers! As my eyes creaked open to recognize,      The orange glow of this unfamiliar room’s lighting,      In front of me, in handwritten writing, A page on the wall showed three in the morning. When I glanced around a room of shared bunks,      I saw all sorts of people and things,      Running around with things to bring To these showers I had yet to see. In a winding line down a high ceiling’d hall,      I stood with so many,      Who like me, hadn’t any Idea what was going on. With a whirlwind flurry of commotion      Steam crawled from the showers and water sprayed,      As we were told in a big disarray, To wash off the place from whence we came. In a neat little stack, I was handed my clothes      A tunic, with a sash      And a captivating mask To “celebrate our exciting return home.” Down dark rustic stairways, I watched like a child      The vibrant light and affinity,      Radiating with enchanting divinity, From the otherworldly people and creatures below. Through that noisy, jolly crowd,      We were led as a group      And the boy said with a whoop That we were all to stand up and dance. His eyes glinting with excitement,      The brown haired boy explained      That our spirits would be ordained Through a celebration of our inner light. Onto the stage I was led      As I stood with my class,      Nervous amongst the mass Of silent, numerous spirits before us. As the boy hit the music      I felt something from deep inside      Rush out like a tide And through tears of joy, I danced. It was at that gleeful moment      That my friends and I,      Realizing we'd died, Knew we'd returned to the forest.

our coolest babysitter lit a long joint and drove us to church in her well worn '87 oldsmobile with chipped gold paint a drooping side mirror and a tape player that smelled like stale london gin mothballs and a sunset butterfly heart at the same time it had a deep ocean green calcite mandala dancing from the windshield mirror and a steal-your-face tattooed on the back glass she used to blare brit-pop trying to make the speakers bleed that day when they finally oozed she swerved us left through the other lane and sunday morning fog to cut a jagged path through thick woods and into an oak tree with a soundtrack of slow motion oasis and screeching tires i clammored to the backseat to block the window glass from your beautiful angelic blonde head as dew sprayed into the vacancy from the ditch and when i pulled the seatbelt spiderweb out of your mouth and lifted you out of the car i was standing barefoot in a cluster of bright red sumac next to an ant hill pile of twisted steaming metal and you were dripping blood from your eye and knees asking me if we'd be late for sunday school but you were awake and trying to smile so we followed the powerlines back to the main road holding hands dizzy and sweating worried no one would ever find us limping while the springtime songbirds held their tongues for us but when the hot ringing in my ears finally stopped the sirens grew loud and close and the birds too began their wet lipped eulogy sometimes i think about missing church that day when the weather's bad on nights like last night sometimes i remember our babysitter when the fog rolls in over the road in the morning i wonder if she still gets high on the good stuff while she drives or if she's just a treehugger

Making the Milky Way!
This is not the place to tell someone you love them for the first time, and although I do not believe you, I smile. You are not the one who should be apologizing. I am the one leaving, I will take that piece of you with me (the one you said was mine). There are flowers beside my bed sprayed and dyed into the type of artificial beauty that can only be appreciated against a white room. You look at my hands so you do not have to face the blue circles under my eyes. You try to laugh like we used to but there is a carefulness to your disposition that was never there before; you are afraid to break me. I think it's strange that your heart seems more shattered than mine; that I try to stay strong for you. I think it's unfair that when visiting hours end and you stand to leave, you drop my hand one finger at a time and you tell me you love me like it is the last time, every time. I think it is unfair that you are the one with last words.

Hospital Room
Not an amulet, an off white vertebrae; bone. Brass wire, a loop at one end. It bends as to make sure this will fit. A gauge that measures mesmerization, And we both must get along, but Not because we're not tough enough: Most of us aren't soft right yet. So many stiffs, folly after folly. The whole carful of loose cadavers, Dangling, their feet hang with wet snow And carnage, Not even musk deer pop up, They've all gone. Roosting in a parabol, With X's sprayed to their groins. Burning pop couples Doing it like laboratory mice. Capybaras Hiss, my own burnt blood is also Flocculating. Turn the cup upside down and See the fire's balmy lachrymal opaque Moss while it does not drip. This is the story of man you asked me about; Devoid of a muzzle, fur onto his chest; coarse Hair in a garland. It is the God of a tool that buzzes into the night. A plateau for this most sensible study. We feel another coming. And when you awoke, your larval tongue My eye mush, a song of verse and melancholy. This half list of greatness, a tally we both wish to see.

those mice
It's been ten years. Ten years that I've been allowed to exist here. Things here are beautiful magnificent fascinating and extremely exhausting. There is so much to take in. The rivers, crystal clear and endless. The forests, lush and deeply green. People are far and few between and everything is amazing. It's been one hundred years. One hundred years and I still can't get enough. Every night is filled with wonder. Stars cover a velvety black night sky and a softly glowing moon's rays caress the rolling hills and valleys. Every day is full of adventure. I feel like a small child, humbled at the bottom of a waterfall sprayed down by cool mist and I see her on the other side. Grin, raise a hand in greeting, and wait for a response. It's been only another ten years. Now one hundred and ten years that I've been trapped here. She is not like myself. She can die, and unfortunately, I cannot follow. Death would be a blessing. Life is now a curse. Great cities of stone and wood have risen up around me. But I feel hollow empty burdened by the loss of her. It's been one thousand years. One thousand years that I have been exiled here. The cities have grown and become still more populated. Yet I am alone. It is hopeless, pointless; making friends, beginning even the most harmless of relationships holds no appeal for me. They all will die, for they are mortal. And I shall be left, once again, with nothing but memories. Life is now a chore, no longer a gift. It's been ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, and all hope is not lost. Though the world is now entirely too full. and city has turned to metropolis, so great are the numbers among me. But I tell you my tale because you are like me. No longer will my eternity be empty. From master to servant you have turned me. And I do not mind being vulnerable; opening up to you is wonderful. Things here are once more magnificent now that I may see them through your eyes by your side my beautiful immortal.

Though the world is now entirely too full. and city has turned to metropolis, so great are the numbers among me. But I tell you my tale because you are like me. No longer will my eternity be empty. From master to servant you have turned me. And I do not mind being vulnerable; opening up to you is wonderful. Things here are once more magnificent now that I may see them through your eyes by your side my beautiful immortal.

You once stood for something. When they told you "NO" you stood like a black-eyed-susan. like the tao. but when they beat you, betrayed you, hogtied and pepper sprayed you, you got angry. You did things that soiled your good name. I guess you just should have learned to take it, like the tao. like the tao, and wait. like the tao and let the waters rise. like the tao and overcome. the weak overcome the tyranny of man with numbers. WITH NUMBERS. as each drop of water equally starts the flood. like each living being that has ever thought "I will overcome." I will overcome. I WILL OVERCOME. WE WILL OVERCOME. OR AT LEAST WE'LL DIE TRYING YOU *************

Hippies
I'll run my fingers over you The lines overlap as if they know you so well Your breath was numbered by them. Your death was my comfort I lay myself indeed not in your arms For those were the branches of yours Cut down and embraced by millions. They sprayed you with chemicals You cried but no one has heard it For in every pain, you are numb And they linger in your countless tremor. The hammer pressured you Every impact was brought to disgrace Those silver yet rustic points Made your skin bleed with tears. I found you affectionate For every time I'm near you I felt so good Now I can't live without you Hold me in your arms and sing me lullabies. (6/3/2014 @xirlleelang)

Old Wooden Bed
Floating, drifting, Slowly it passed from his hand To the cold, hard sidewalk. It once was a pretty flower, With petals bright and cheerful And a stem green and healthy. Johnny’s night had not been great, As was anticipated by his mom. “You’ll have fun!” she said. “But what about…” he trailed off, Remembering the hulking ex-boyfriend Of Lily, the girl he thought he loved. “Just have fun,” she soothed. Walking- no scuffling -down the street, He remembered those last words she had said. Even though this hadn’t been the night of his life, He could still have a good time, right? Five minutes later, Johnny exited the nearby hardware store. Four cans of spray paint in hand, He drifted into the community center downtown. All Johnny needed was a blank canvas And about an hour before they closed for the night. *I thought I was going to get my first kiss. I could have sworn she was going to be my girlfriend this time. If only I wasn’t such a dork, Then maybe she would be interested in me. I hate everyone and everything!* The paint sprayed and splattered onto the canvas. Johnny was breathing hard now. Now he was ready, he was energized. Ready to take on the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With a cover over the painting, Johnny headed back to the dance. He hadn’t even entered the building before, Which meant he still had his ticket. Johnny threw his ticket to the usher And made his way over to the DJ. “Turn off the music for like five minutes. Please.” “Why?” “Because I’ll give you three dollars And whatever else is in my pocket.” “Fine. Five minutes. No more.” “Thanks.” Johnny smiled. As soon as the music was off, Johnny dashed over to Lily And her giant boyfriend. He set the painting on the floor And grabbed her in his arms. Johnny then kissed her As passionately as he knew how. Lily, stunned and confused, Teetered back onto a chair. Then, just when the huge brute was about to punch him, Johnny swiftly clutched the picture and ripped off its cover. The boyfriend gazed, along with the rest of the crowd, At the beautiful girl on the canvas. “You painted this?” “Yeah.” “You really love Lily, huh?” “Yeah.” “Then you need to kiss her again.” The ex-boyfriend smiled at Johnny and Johnny smiled back. He looked over at Lily. He handed his painting to the ex-boyfriend. Johnny reached for Lily’s hand, Wrapped his arms around her. “Will you, Lily, be my girlfriend?” Lily gazed into Johnny’s eyes, Leaned in, And whispered in his ear, “Yes.”
