In the digital l-and We l-ive in Mistakenly automatic One pointing at a chest of tools Eyes on i No soul can tell a part a weakling metal Robots robbing robbers rich T-error terrifying t-errorists Artist gods and goddesses Sharing platform to unleashed gifts Mint hue bubbles squeak Fizzy dizzy violet haze World head to toes spins Any day it spins coins in change A quiet girl is sinister Siren of mystery or future Robot is your mirror Peach chin with teeth filter No innocence and glitter litter Guilty until proven the latter A quiet girl a terrorist Error mouths terror twist Terrorist from the orient They hide in between every end Disguises they cover in Racist as problem solving Smile girl watch A fake smile and eyes Skin of steel so is her Heart made alloy How it blazes to the touch when heated Oh it bites fingertips as it's cold Hair resting on the curve of her spine A woman's hair only breaks if it tries to grow What she said Tell me if you can tell us a part Warning tears borne from her crooked eyes Robot and soul Terrorists from t-errorists No soul knows either Tattoos or memory shall identify you

Terror in a puzzle piece
You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Daddy, I have had to **** you. You died before I had time ---- Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off the beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My ****** friend Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw. It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene An engine, an engine, Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew. The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew. I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You ---- Not God but a ******** So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look And a love of the rack and the ***** And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through. If I've killed one man, I've killed two ---- The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now. There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagersnever liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you ******* I'm through.

Picasso you give us things which bulge:grunting lungs pumped full of sharp thick mind you make us shrill presents always shut in the sumptuous screech of simplicity (out of the black unbunged Something gushes vaguely a squeak of planes or between squeals of Nothing grabbed with circular shrieking tightness solid screams whispers.) Lumberman of the Distinct your brain’s axe only chops hugest inherent Trees of Ego,from whose living and biggest bodies lopped of every prettiness you hew form truly

Picasso
Seagulls squeak and As thunderclaps salute the laws of physics I imagine they could speak Sensory inputs of fresh strawberries become A raging flood of summer sweetness that Fuses with the hot electrified air And I'm daydreaming that Above this veil of angry clouds Roams unseen ancient eyes With tears braver than What is boundless Stronger and brighter than even Endless darkness They lie in wait Their love Their warmth Bursting forth Wombs of rainbows And all that is precious Yet still untold Waiting to kiss the atoms of your skin And once again Paint your summer smile Blink and you might forget that They were you Before you were even born Sunset Sunrise Watch them never skip a beat Wake up. Kick *** Repeat.

Hey sun, I like your attitude
Since Christmas they have lived with us, Guileless and clear, Oval soul-animals, Taking up half the space, Moving and rubbing on the silk Invisible air drifts, Giving a shriek and pop When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling. Yellow cathead, blue fish ---- Such queer moons we live with Instead of dead furniture! Straw mats, white walls And these traveling Globes of thin air, red, green, Delighting The heart like wishes or free Peacocks blessing Old ground with a feather Beaten in starry metals. Your small Brother is making His balloon squeak like a cat. Seeming to see A funny pink world he might eat on the other side of it, He bites, Then sits Back, fat jug Contemplating a world clear as water. A red Shred in his little fist.

Every death I have felt, or known, In silence, i mourn, Within my breath... No words come upfront Just thoughts, preponderant... I'd feel the freezing cold of an empty space Feel the absence...clearly imagine a lost face No smiles, spanning from cheek to cheek Eyes, seek answers... suddenly, I'm there by the shallow water of the creek While some nearby creatures quietly chirp...and squeak While I......... I could not even speak... Living, Is realizing...and accepting At the right time, they turn brown, the weeds...and reeds, But, under the water...waiting, growing...are their seeds Brown ferns...are almost detached from a mossy concrete wall With a strong current, and wind, they'd be carried...ready to fall The driftwood lying by the shore...is always wet, but petrified Brown fallen leaves, on the green grass...no more hold...crisp and dried, The dead bark of a tree...in pieces...are crumbling... Merging with the wet earth...in a process of fertilizing Deep down under ....a fresh spark of life is starting. All these, remind, Life and death stand side by side, That in the midst of death- Something new is birthed... When faced with death, there is always someone's living breath And, as long as the heart wills to beat Then, life.....will still exist. Hundreds, or a thousand times,   We all have died In the high and low of life's tides, Physically, Emotionally. We remember Those who have left Those who have survived..are still around We think of those who are next to leave, Waiting for their chests' final heave ---And then, we think of ourselves--- Worry not of our own time Make each of our remaining days Be golden, beaming, and bright With good deeds, and straight pathways The earth is a moving circle It makes a round.......as it spins We try to live outwards....and then, within Any way we live it...life is an endless cycle.

A THOUSAND DEATHS

Sit in a crowded gymnasium on a Thursday. Basketball is not the point. Stare at the orange speck anyway. Silence your phone and his voice from before, Still inside your head, words the color of the burnt orange ball. Find music in the squeak of the rubber soles, Notice the referee's slanting stripes, and how they blur when you stare, until even pictures inside your head blur. Nod to the man wearing the red cap beside you, whose words dribble across your mind, They imprinting a message: travel next year last year time killing foul out losses hope. Maybe you miss that last word, Or maybe you see the message graffitied on the score board.   Maybe you close your eyes and open them again, And notice the white jerseys gleaming in song with light, The same light that slants up toward you, Your shirt should also be white, With the same light shining on those who travel and on those who foul out. Sit in the crowded gymnasium on a Thursday, and forget about what he told you last night.

How To Forget Something:
I'm trapped in her memory Like a hamster Still spinning the wheel, Every step Digging into my feet Like every second Consumes time Oxygen In a fire Slowly being depleted, But I'm still going Thinking I'll escape somehow But the familiar squeak At every full turn Snaps me back A misfired rubber band And the sting Startles me awake Like I'm still on the same bus And I'm never going to arrive At my destination, Every instance I catch my breath I release my will To be freed, Her love like a carrot Just within reach Eternally...

I've lost a battle Within my soul My mind is unsettle Forgot about my goal Now trying to revive To recollect and recall The medium to survive Before another fall The pressure is intense From my own peers My heart goes in pretense Hiding all my fears Night brings in dark thoughts To harm myself again with pains Destined to fight these lots But my hands are soaked with stains Blood, it is mixed with ink As I write on these walls Drawing up my insanity link That's when I heard the calls Ambu sirens squeak the street Someone rushes in my room Gives me anesthesia as a greet But time kicked me to my doom... ©sim

Peer Pressure
Hey, past me from so close yet seeming long ago... A knot from my sweater's bow I regret tying despite how unkempt the ribbons look hanging by my sides because now it's digging into my back The hair I can't decide if I want out where it's pretty and makes me look less like a generic nerd yet gets in my face and food and life The jeans I insist upon wearing without a belt even though their slipping down my **** may actually outweigh the pain of loosening the belt The tennis shoes I'm too attached to give up that emit a constant squeak, squeak, squeaking through the hallways whether it's caused by residual rain from outside or not The glasses, fond of slipping down my nose at frequent intervals, covered in smudges I rarely notice till they get out of hand The phone whose screen happened to crack at the most inopportune moment and takes forever to read my finger print The jacket that should be a highlighter blue but rather presents itself as a canvas of the week's tomato stains The face covered in acne- The stomach with fat instead of muscle- The arms lacking muscle- The legs with too much hair- I've always acknowledged that perfection is not possible, yet I have to at least try to strive I think, as I sit at my desk, fingers typing fragmented sentences, attempting to convey thoughts speeding too fast to grasp Yet, just a simple poem of reflection brings to light these numerous deficiencies, many of which I COULD fix were it not the invisible fiend upon whom I stamp the label-laziness These deficiencies, many of which aren't even noticed by those around me, some of whom are better some are worse But it's not as simple as that, I've known I can't just be "one of the people", I need to find something, some identity, some way out of my seemingly impossible to escape label of "just above average" In academics, in extracurricular activities, EVERYTHING, I seem to be at a stagnant I've done bad, I've done "just above average", but never above. What is the point if you get plenty of losses and plenty of "fine" but no victories? It's something about me though, somehow I believe, subconsciously, I'm impeding myself. I'm holding myself back. ... Why?

Holding Myself Back
Hey, past me from so close yet seeming long ago...

Why do they say knitting needles go 'click'? It's more of a 'squeak', 'shuffle', 'tap', 'shuffle'. Is it the same way that rain doesn't 'splash'? It goes 'drop', 'plop', 'thud'. These are the thoughts that rise to the top as I sit And knit. Thoughts aren't threads to be woven They are patches to be stitched together- each one a new colour. Grey is when my brain won't stop- the colour of school uniform. White is when I'm scared and alone- an ethereal mist. These are the thoughts that rise to the top as I sit And knit. Recently there's been a lot of green- warm and swirling like a gemstone. It is like marble in its pattern, layers of shades overlapping. That's what your patches are. And here I'm Trying to not think of you but you rise to the top as I sit And knit. I notice a burnt orange- like lava bubbling over a cool skin. That is quiet anger. Not at you. Not at me for thinking of you. At the one who thought I could stop. It is impossible, especially when I don't want to stop as I sit And knit. Even as I tried to write a poem withought you. I couldn't. You're here again- and these are just the ones I wrote down. All these thoughts of you rise to the top as i sit And knit.

Knitting thoughts
This Day, two Biped Ponies each of you ride, Strolling along the lane Lovers enjoy To watch this Sweet Scene from way far behind, A Cheque I'd like to cash-in this Friday Yes, for Pence-Tales of Romance and Success Thinking to Follow is easy enough How many, do those Squirrels squeak at-less The Time which Currency states on the Rough I guess Luck's Fair in Friendship does depend On a Brisket-List sorted in custom To where each of you in Common does spend, Well, better than sulk out of sheer boredom. The Bullseye's paid, admitting my Defeat, Licking my own Fab's whilst hugging the Street.

Our slacktivism, our regurgitated ideas spitballing out of our McDonald's mouths into our peers' ears, distilled by years And years of "almost-knowledge" that we quasi-ascertained, if we knew what that meant -- but we've been left behind! No child left the **** behind! We were left behind and there's no possible way we slacked off, that we're dumb, that we aren't the movie stars destined for Lamborghini cars, five-star bars, designer bodies for designer you and designer me: the most special of the unique, the Pearls that have been made in the darkest parts of the sea, the darkest parts of origin. Origin. ****** **** American **** virginal ideals sliding around the muck of a marketable **** fuckfest, ******* of the American mind, the congratulations of the American ego, the proud mother and father tears associated with buying and lying, "trying" and frying our food, our ideas, our friends, our neo-impressionistic children in Jordans, skinny jeans, on tumblr: the unknowing cousin of Fox News, surprised by its own wit and wisdom: they're ******* twins. Carbon copies, unknowing, unwilling, un-un-un. The romanticism of mental illness. The close-up of reality-tv emotion. The manipulation taught to servers from managers.

Dear you, I want you to come closer Although I try to push you away I am awkward And the awkwardness only keeps growing The more I have, the more you loose But the more you have, the more I get The equation is complicated I don’t expect you to understand After all You never understood me either. I am there Beside you and behind you All you have to do is turn turn stealthily enough So I don’t have time to run I told you I am awkward And the awkwardness only grows I slouch, I ******* I squeak just like your bedroom door I creak unopened for centuries Unheard for decades Unseen for years Not because I’m weak but because I am awkward And the awkwardness only grows i live in a pineapple under the sea or you could say I hide Hide from you, hide from me Hide from the rest of the  reality but I am always there I always will For I have to be Don’t acknowledge me Validation is not my need But don’t forget me either For I have this hidden greed Never leave your own side I need to follow Never  leave my side either But know To me, Ignorance is a bliss For I am awkward And the awkwardness only grows

Another morning in the life Of a P.T.D, I slurped my Juice back all  400 ml, then Stretched up, fingers Wiggling as mother picked Me up. Snuggles in the morning Nothing better, to show I'm Loved. But back to business, As I turned my dummy to The opposite side, the taste Is better every time its turned Soothing with each **** It was nearly breakfast time A belly is never wrong, MMmmm... Toast and jam, I smile At mummy with my Cheshire Jam smiled face. "Silly little man" As she wipes the smudges From all over my face. A case to solve, was my plan, The missing statue of SANDMAN BOB tm. It was here before, but now Gone, the prized possession Of hairy dog, as I pat his head And he licks my face Yuckkkk.... Doggy that was yuck, he wags His tail and then he is off. What a morning so much done, Time for a nap then detective Work to be done. I wake to Dads voice, "Morning little man" "How was your nap" As i give my answer with a Yawn and a smile, he gives A cuddle then off to work for Hours of fun and playing games. The clues to be seen the trail To be found, for I'm ***** Trained Detective"* And no case is to far, as Long as I can have a nap And a cuddle, maybe a Little sip and a gulp, here On look out of what is to Be found. Hairy dog is sleeping in his bed, I hear a noise I hear a Sound?? What a strange noise, "Snoring" "NO" "Bottom belches" "No funny smells" As I lift up his blanky Softly so not to wake doggy's sleep, And their he is safe and sound. "SANDMAN BOB" "Playing hide and go seek" Under hairy dogs nose and bottom, As he sleeps it does squeak, it Does beep, I lift it up and under His paw, to surprise him when He awakens. A tail shall wiggle And flop around, but the case was Solved and a happy smile found. ***** Trained Detective* does it Again, but for now it is nap time, A new case, a new thing to be Found. I will see you all again Soon, But now its snuggles Time with mummy in bed. As I close my eyes night, night I turn my dummy once more, As sheep float quietly over my head.

Dusk! With a creepy, tingling sensation you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! Bats! Glowing red eyes and glistening fangs, These unspeakable giant bugs drop into view.* Fibrous wings furred like a moth, Big ears are just a membranous extension of antennae. Flying in search of a flower’s pollen laden froth, Silent except for the hum and squeak of echolocation. Trap bats in attics, butterflies in nets. No rabies feared, no bedbug bites to itch. Clawed feet ****** and grab like praying mantis pincers; Bloated stomach slopes like a pudgy beetle. Jaws manipulate like an ant, excise like scissors; Soft hair rustles like a wooly caterpillar. They live in darkness, centipedes do too, Come out at night like cockroaches tend to. Skittering through the night like daddy long-legs, Noses snubbed like bumble bee faces. Wind turbines endanger bats, Like fans endanger lightning bugs. Only one percent of bats are vampiric, Like only a small percentage of spiders are poisonous. Dawn! With a creepy, tingling sensation you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! Bats! Bats are bugs, aren’t they?

Bats Aren’t Bugs!
Don't look. The world's about to break. Don't look. The world's about to chuck out all its light and stuff us in the chokepit of its dark, That black and fat suffocated place Where we will **** or die or dance or weep Or scream of whine or squeak like mice To renegotiate our starting price.

Poem (Don't look...)
What in these symbols has power? None of my letters could build you a tower, But something within the screen of my phone Has mass, has inertia, has song, has tone. Where are the electric lines? Neither hither nor thither, whichever one signs But for some reason, I can't help but feel That my electric lines are something more real. What are the squiggles that wave from afar? A symbolic cookie from an imagined jar? Or are they a prize for forming a speak That, through my squiggles, may squeak?

Squiggly Electric Lines
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
Cock-a-doodle doo. Pigs snorting and grunt. Bleat baa the sheep. Hidden in the trees squeak the squirrels. Gobble gobble gobbling turkeys. Low oxen moo the cows. Hohi-a-hohhle hi Bray donkeys so similar. Rolling on the red dust. The village. A swallow-tailed bee-eater. Calling and singing. A green barbet, dark brown head. Answers the call. A red-capped lark, black bill. Entertains the morning. An emerald-spotted wood dove. Seated lonely somewhere. Coos to the extravaganza. The village.

THE VILLAGE
I adore women I refuse to apologize for it I like the way their voices squeak in the upper registers I like the fashions I like the makeup I like the aromas Not the silly runway catwalk Biz that relegates them as awkward mannequins adorns them in  the impractical and cloaks them in the  absurd overreaching  of  the tired  clamoring for something new and unique that which exploits  their  lithesome anorexic perplexing job requirement I like the way they can shape shift, alter and assume new identities I like the fact that some have mood swings and *** I marvel that they can give birth I like being aware that their  'water-weight' make's  them grumpy I'm astonished that they innately ovulate with  the cycles of the moon and that the Huntress Diana inherently  acquired her namesake Doesn't bother me a bit that "it's a lady's prerogative to be late" or that opening a door for them is considered 'sexist' I was raised with a sister and a mother with lace and dainty  frilly things I caused them a lot of aggravation and consternation I think they enjoyed it - nonetheless somewhat I refuse to apologize for it

a male's misgivings
Spring comes as grasses leap forth and emerald hues are added to the landscape, with wildflowers peeking up from the dewy roadside. The world smells fresh like worms and earth, while birds drift down to finish last year’s seeds. Yellow rain boots hop out of shelves and into the puddles, while mud gathers and plays in the road, gurgling with mirth at passers by. The badminton net is resurrected, regally looming over the lawn, as the swings squeak joyfully in the breeze. The fireplace gives a sooty yawn and falls to sleep. And in the kitchen, fiddleheads unfurl upon a hot pan as the old and sour scent of the earth settles upon our plates, spring steps lightly onto the world. ~Yuka Oiwa May 6, 2008

Enter Spring
I am The Shoes of Shoes, which are Solomon’s. Let him polish me with the oil from his brow, for his gloss is better than sunshine. Because of the fragrance of thy ointment buffed upon me, thy name is Scent Shine, therefore do the ****** shoes love thy feet. Stretch me, with your Shoe-Tree, and I will run & rejoice with thy feet through gardens & woods, and across mountains alike. I am leather, but comely, O ye Daughters of Shoeshopingham, as The Pile Beneath the Prophesised Viaduct, and as in the abundant bottom of The Wardrobe of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am leather, but put me upon thy feet for I am thy soles. I am the Rose of Shoe, and the Lilly of The Laces. As the strong shoes among thorns, so is my love among The Shod. As the tongue that tightens to the fruit of the foot, so is my beloved among The Shod. His left foot is in my left purse, and his right foot is my right, tight. The Polish of My Beloved, behold, cometh glinting off llyns, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, with both of me tight on his feet. Looketh fourth through The Round Window of Wisdom, through The Lattice see him shoeing himself with my flesh. Take us the socked foxes, the little foxes that chew & spoil, for our shodding is tender. My Loved Shod’s feet are mine and my leather is his. Until the day break, and the unshod shadows flee, turn my Loved Shod, and be thou like the shoe young on the mountains. Behold, thou art fair, my shoes, behold thou art shoes as fast as a flock of goats over the Mountain of Shoedon. Thy laces are like soft strands of moss, which have been spun & woven in the Workshops of Acorns by The Grubs of Oak. Thy eyelets are like the sweet slots in which nestle the seeds of the pomegranate. Thy tongues are like scarlet leaves fallen from speaking trees, and thy squeak as I walk in thee is comely. Thy heal is like the shield that should’ve been fashioned for Achilles. Thy two toe caps are as sleek & pert as the twin otters that fish among the lilies. How beautiful are thee, shoes for feet, O Goddess’s daughters, the joints of thy soft foot-slot smooth as the gleam of jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning cobbler. O Solomon set me twin shoes as seals upon thy feet, for Love is as strong as The Road to Dead we must follow. O my Loved Shod! for every one of thy steps you make in me is my bliss.

Balloons are round, They make my day. Up in the sky They bounce and sway. Balloons are bouncy, and they squeak loud, But if you pop them You draw a crowd. Some don't like balloons. I think that that's sad. But to each his own, So said my dad. But look, now I ramble. So here I'll sign off. Enjoy this crummy poem. Or don't. Whatever. ... Rhyme? Nah...
