"squatting" poems
Unconscious of facts Stomach fibers dig holes Searching for lost memories Of natural order What dignity is found here Head between knees Squatting naked at the far end of the shower Gulping air Spitting, tasting, burning, drowning Striving for cleanliness Yet ***** with buttered bread and sugar Afterwards I fasten my grin too tightly pinching I wish they were deaf

The bright sun’s rays Are dappled as they strike The manicured greensward. He, tall, lithe, teeth all aglow In cream slacks and pastel blouson, She, fair and fairylike in acres of shimmering gauze, Alight from the auto At the site of their ‘manger al fresco’ Let us call them Justin and Jocelyn. The basket is heavy No matter. He lifts it clear to carry She gasps, he grins. In minutes the scene is set The rug, the plates, the glasses The pate, the cold chicken, The fruit….the wine. He deflowers a bottle of Moselle, Wishing it were her. Guessing as much she blushes. Ants retreat to nests Wasps attack alternate targets Flies zoom elsewhere to feed. And all the while the sun The golden sun continues to dapple. The rain is not quite horizontal As Joe and Judy Run from the bus stop To the stony beach. Not quite horizontal But driven off the sea it tastes salty. He, ordinary, average, in a dampening grey mackintosh. She, hair bleached in a sister’s frock and jacket Holding hands, And hold each a sandwich Cellophane wrapped. Squatting against the seawall They eat. Wet eyes flash bright signals. Joe has a small thermos Its vegetable soup, And somehow a hardboiled egg appears, To share. The rain continues its attack.

A Tale Of Two Picnics
Without legitimate occupancy, Adverse possession is the legal right Of anyone who moves in and maintains A property, so here's the deal. We must Move in to 1600 Penn, The current tenant having broke the lease. The caravan from Guatemala first, Hondurans trudging slowly from the depth. Then the Yemen children not yet murdered, Those with preexisting conditions next, And women whose assaults were ridiculed, Those roughed up by cops and politicians. Losers in the war on drugs, the big house Having far exceeded capacity. The mentally ill, discarded by the Great communicator after he tore The Solar panels off the roof.  This is Anger, not poetic license.  When a Long train of abuses and usurpations Evinces a design to reduce them Under absolute Despotism, it Is their right, it is their duty to throw Off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such Has been the patient sufferance of these And such is now the necessity which Constrains them to alter their systems of Government.  And journalists under  fire, If there's room still left in the briefing room, Let facts be submitted to a candid                           World.

Her name was coffee, Her parents we're hippies. Coffee was a gypsy, Who always told the truth. The truth of words, Wrapped in lies. Coffee led in truth, To carry on her name. Spilling stories of understanding, Living in a world so free, With a true vision of freedom in the eyes of crystal blue. Telling her fractured tails to take all she can. To only be seen never again.

Squatting with friends
His hand twisted the two wires,           and the engine wondrously fired. I yelled and cried when I broke my arm           he easily wrapped it without alarm. Sorry son, I can’t come to your game,           the overtime list had my name. Boy, there’s gonna be a delay,           my big project is due today. Your dad went out of town to speak,           can’t play pitch and catch this week. He picked up the phone and he heard me say:           “Daddy, the cops wanna take me away.” Tonight your dad’ll deposit his check           then we can fix the car you wrecked.                               --------------- Thank you Daddy for all you’ve done “Don’t thank me, your mama raised you, son.“ I regularly tear up with both sadness and joy               seeing a daddy squatting, listening to his boy. Father-son ties mix long lows and splendid highs. Yes, there are tears and yearning for more than his earnings. But now I see how my dad’s hand protected and provided, how he taught me to take a stand, and showed me how to be a man.

A Hand Up
It starts with a pinch and an itch, Between your shoulder blades, Trickling down your spine like a bead of sweat. You groan hot and heavy, Doubling over in pain clutching at your stomach, And you have this urge.... Your canines enlarge, Further sharpening. The hairs on your arms bristle. Standing on end when you hear the first tear of skin, At the base of your spine. And it splinters your mind. A wine high pitched and wanting, A gasp as your hair thickens. A pelt of fur to keep you warm, There is pain between your eyes, Your jaw stretches inhuman and ugly. Legs snap and your squatting on the floor, Arms pulled close at the elbow, Back hunched over. Dirt digs under your fingernails turned claws, As you grip the steady earth for purchase. You feel your heart beating against your shifting ribs. Strong, Fast, And aching. Lungs constrict and your eyes fly open. Blinded by the ethereal light of the full moon. You cry out, Human voice bellows loud, loud, loud! The beast sings in your ear. A roar, A howl. The transformation done. We are free.

Satya Yuga: Oakland
1) help endures even the worst pumpernickel shortbread ***** but understanding outweighs that of the pessimistic drug lords squatting in **** ridden sandlots. 2) compassion is for the virtuistic harlequins. 3) underestimating the estimatable is the idea, even under a load of unsettling emotions. just hoard them in your fannypack. 4)the *** next door may make your head spin, and the typewriter might make your nails crack. but, beyond all of that, there lies an undisclosed truth. one that neither the walls nor the space bar underneath your thumb will ever know: I am here, and this is now.

Notes
As I went walking up and down to take the evening air, (Sweet to meet upon the street, why must I be so shy?) I saw him lay his hand upon her torn black hair; (”Little ***** Latin child, let the lady by!”) The women squatting on the stoops were slovenly and fat, (Lay me out in organdie, lay me out in lawn!) And everywhere I stepped there was a baby or a cat; (Lord, God in Heaven, will it never be dawn?) The fruit-carts and clam-carts were ribald as a fair, (Pink nets and wet shells trodden under heel) She had haggled from the fruit-man of his rotting ware; (I shall never get to sleep, the way I feel!) He walked like a king through the filth and the clutter, (Sweet to meet upon the street, why did you glance me by?) But he caught the quaint Italian quip she flung him from the gutter; (What can there be to cry about that I should lie and cry?) He laid his darling hand upon her little black head, (I wish I were a ragged child with ear-rings in my ears! ) And he said she was a baggage to have said what she had said; (Truly I shall be ill unless I stop these tears!)

Mosh pit at the Senior Center: giving God the finger at 76. Names no one heard of, (bands long-dead on their leather jackets) still squatting anarchy, arthritically smashing the State, babbling Mao, drooling Bakunin, shocking the middle-class mores as their Christian nurse empties their bedpan no sellout, etc. Years since ******** songs were used for car commercials on network T.V.

Mid October takes its end of season's leap into the solitude of post-tourism autumn. The landscape shows its truer face to celebrate the reassembly of local solidarity. Tat and trim tucked into hibernation, chalkboards erased, scant takings totaled, inflatables deflated. Unsold crafts packed between pages of yesterday's 'Correio de Manha' Shocked freezers stand open-mouthed their diet of ice dwindled to a thin trickle. Sunshades collapse in deep south style, redundant loungers relax supine. Kids slope back to school - a mule-train of shoe-scrapers packed to the hilt dawdles through warming scents of post-salad indulgence, sweet with the street-aroma of 'feijoada', garlic, and  aromatic oregano pot-grown in a back plot, littered with discarded placards and tired bikes. Past men leaning doors, unsure of new routines, idle hands and minds with new time to fill mostly in cold bars for warm camaraderie. Women pick fitfully at quiet-season's crochet squatting to gossip under a white wash slung and pegged, stick-sure against thin bleached facades. Under Planes, old comrades congregate shuffling at a make-shift table, tired eyes set on cards, playing for cents under a limited sky once defined by Salazar. Car parks thin. Beneath the russet canopies street-sweepers scorn a reckless wind, where still sun-crisp leaves gather in gutters, thirstily anticipating the first deluge under autumn's gathering clouds. copyright © Caroline Grace 2011

Closing time.
Chasey calls them the dead mama blues. There's sadness, she says, mine has a scent to it; Despair, a shabby **** who mugs me under my covers On winter days at dawn, Catatonia, which only a messy bed,a bong,a bag of Cheetos and a boy can cure, And then way down from there, Squatting *** close to the ground, Smoking Gauloises in the dark, Live the dead mama blues. The only cure for the dead mama’s, Chasey explains, Is a blood rare steak and Etta James greatest hits on vinyl, Played quiet through the sweet spot of the night, All the lights off, the dishes done and dry. Helps if a sister has a slim hip man to dance with, she said, So if you ain’t runnin’, the grill’s on me. Come by sober any time after moon rise, Chasey yawned, Cause this girl could use a shoulder and a polite hand. And bring your slippers, she said Easier to shuffle over **** in sheepskin, plus We might go up on the roof later on And smoke some of my cubans for a while. Door will be open, so please don’t ring, Hell what am I saying, you know the path. Chasey yawned again, a big one, Waited a few seconds because there was nothing else to say And hung up the phone with a sigh.

Etta
What if you're the addict that has accepted the first step a long time ago, while lines tallied up against years, and once familiar folk have given up hope long after patience; there's you first squatting in the corner of a house you barely know, with people you just met, and you shoot water in your veins, now on bent knees, praying this water is holy enough to ease the pain. The immaculate fix. Arms outstretched, facing east and west, needles as big as nails delicately caressing the flesh and resting on sweaty palms, emaciating by way of lust and fear. No Will. No Power of Attorney. No Will Power. They say Adam walked with Eve in the garden, and it was Eve that bit the apple. But you never hear the part about Adam killing Eve with silence. Adam was the snake. And of course above, and beyond, omnipotence comes with the added responsibility of design. "Would you consider yourself a Type A personality or a Type B personality?" The doctor asked. One suicide and one admission to the psych ward should always be coincidental, but in case it's not and silence becomes deadly you must keep a straight face. Let the guilt mentally choke you, like a murderer choking the life from their victim. You look around the ward to find that there are no staircases. But empathy and keeping that straight face will lead to discharge, and programs, and twelve steps. And you know when you get to that final step, it takes only one more to push off and fall away.

Stained Glass and Holy Water
my body is a hotel full of guests who do not pay their bill room 1 houses a boy who wraps his hands around my throat as he asks about my father whispers from next door ask him if he is really afraid to die they seem to come from inside the foundations of the building and his upstairs neighbours are always banging on the floor in the hopes that he will notice them my walls want to cave in on themselves and the dining room is always full of monsters bathroom drains clogged with hair and **** pipes moaning in fear i am filling up and it is terrifying a sick, sick man is squatting in the basement all of my residents know, but nobody says anything out of politeness or fear until it is too late, until he has breathed his infection into the air then transferred into the lungs of my occupants using me as a conduit

(a tribute to young courage; observations of a father) ~ cutting sharply through the water, her bow approaches the surf; the zone where ocean's bottom, rises quickly from the depths; where pounding waves, meet churning sands, blending pebbles, shells, and grass into a darkened mud. standing, squatting, silent, behind her heavy wings of steel; young boys, not yet men, await a sign, whether from heaven or command; their lips muttering to no one but the howling wind. a brisk sea breeze whisks, away the cigarette smoke, that rises from their huddled masses, scatt'ring heavenward, with their whispered prayers, for courage, safety, strength. then the momentary lull, all of heaven holds their breath like a bird she slows, still rocking in the surf, a hundred feet from shore, like a calm before the storm, as her wings that held them tight now lower to form the bridge that to the fiery fury now awaits... and then, the surf is filled with boys, alighting from her wings of safety, those not ground to blood and bone by knives of steel that ply the air and waves, aging, with each passing second of survival, by the time their soles find sand, becoming, at the shoreline men; leaving behind, their mates- in-arms, who aged far too young. from boys to watery grave. now young men, running, searching on an open shore seeking shelter, any means of cover fron the steel that falls like rain 'neath hidden nests, birds of prey as far below his courage grows with every dancing inland step this rite of passage that no one's son should ever need to walk, again.

I felt her on my belly A well fed boa Squatting for the day She writhed as my heart beat Drawing tighter to my Pinched breaths I saw wild eyes, glancing, prancing Sprites, friends of the serpent, Laughed, for I had fallen mute To the forest floor, and lay poisoned Shrinking before a gleeful crowd In love with an animal.

Boa
Scratching at veneer, prying pillars off the tower buried climbing high. Endure. Creating past frames of doubt, of rationale on the tower buried climbing high. Stain. Squatting inside senile mammoths, gnawing mules lie, strip-mine brilliance for harpoons in the tower buried climbing high. Besides… That rope is tied to our waist/waste, tangled mess. Heaving barbed streamers into tight corners through windows that maul the sky.

Political Poem Attempt #1
Besides laying down on the old wrinkled couch to Rest my back while I get Into the mind of my Favorite authors One thing I do enjoy doing very much Is to take a trip to one of my favorite bar in town where no alcohol is Being served on the menu What you’ll find there instead Are beast running around Lifting, squatting  jumping and Once in a while you might Even catch  us in the sauna Relaxing ourselves For sure at the gym That’s where You’ll find Me testing my strength Let all the  anger out of me Allow the beast to come out Watch that muscle nectar That come squirting out Screaming let the war begin Reps become sets Sets become workouts Protein shakes running Through my veins Beast mode got me Soared to the core Out of control with strength And physical fitness I hope the gym never goes Out of weights for I’m addicted to iron Muscles so vicious Some swear it should Be illegal to be carry Such Mass weight around If that ever comes true That’s okay because I have My woman At home I can always Lift for I am unstoppable When it comes to the gym thing I must admit I swear It is a must I push Myself to the limit               For Once I place my hand on the iron bar I am No longer in control For the iron has become Solely the master of             My soul

Soul Master
Go with the flow till you hit that status quo. No brainer just remainders of ill-advised blunders. Of new life and lewd thought our best efforts for naught. This new decade lies empty of waste there is plenty. So much to discover in the arms of another. Loneliness runs rampant an old youth lies penitent. Wishing for the stars indebted to the bars. No faith in a system just divine intervention. Two lines smothering one another is this what we’ve become? In this age of impure saturation has a course of purity already been run? Teenage angst squatting on new life no excuse for self imposed strife.

Status Flow
I take refuge in poetry Where poverty blossoms Women’s feet leave not a print And the stomach gets drunk on tap water. Imprisoned in a shed, situated At the back of my mind I have Scared life away from me ‘Tis also the case vice-versa I try to keep a harmonious tongue But good people? You have Witnessed for yourselves Some folk crave a brutal answer. The primitive man With qualifications The sober man With hallucinations The right honourable gentleman With wrong un-honourable expenses I take refuge in poetry Squatting between the sentences. We don’t really know exactly What we are doing, we just follow Things and see where it takes us Never mind purchasing luxury To even get a smile is all “subject to status” I take refuge in poetry Whether written by me the fool Or them! ... the old sages.

REFUGE
If I had a peso for every time I was asked for one I’d be a rich man. If I had a peso for every pleading face I’ve seen I’d have a generous hand. I’d put a peso in every can or pan or outstretched hand or cup or bowl or hat of wool. I’d give one to the boy with the accordion player and to the girl selling butterflies on a stick. I’d give one to the woman squatting on the sidewalk and to the youth with his baton-twirling trick. I’d give one to the doll maker and to the basket weaver and to the blind singer and to the fire-breather. I’d give one to the old man drumming out non-rhythms and to his equal, fiddling non-melodies. I’d give one to the flautist/drummer combo and to the Pavarotti wannabes. I’d give one to the woman with few teeth and to the man with one shoe To the families sleeping in doorways I’d give to all those who can’t do. To every last one and all, big and small I’d give a peso, or more Hell, why keep score? Yes, if I had a peso for every time I was asked for one I’d give it up, not because I should, but because I could. Well, ha!, at least, I’d like to think I would.
