Someone stole the last piece of my turkey sandwich. I bet the ************ put some pepper on it. I hope it was pepper from that ***** *** pepper-shaker that is no longer see-through. That ******* left me with one poker-chip pickle slice and Those pieces of potato chips that you Have to spear with a fingertip to eat. That son-of-a-bitch! I am sure he put mustard on that last piece of turkey sandwich; In that delicate delicatessen squiggly pattern that is all in the wrist. -And, speaking of wrist, that ******* forged my signature perfectly. He even put another Lone Star bottle on my tab then Neatly arranged the bottle caps next to four toothpicks. *That suave ************ To honor him, when I get home I am going to smoke his **** **** his girlfriend and take his ****

Last Piece of Turkey Sandwich
It’s bad enough I’m just known as that squiggly piece of the alphabet but what’s worse are the jokes of Why the long face Kevin? Those are the times when I wish I could give as good as I get it's not as bad as facing the guys with bloated stomach and *** and have the amoebas ribbing me incessantly ****** single celled creatures** They have an idea, but they can’t guess Poseidon take you Janet! for leaving me in such a mess! You take all of me without leaving just a single ounce of pleasure and I’m left birthing your demon spawn You were just a mistress Seahorse in disguise weren’t you? I’m no longer an oddity now I’m something less *Seahorse blues a male in distress*

Seahorse Blues
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
"Mama... Mama!" Mama sometimes doesn't wake up when I want her to. Mama must be dreaming about the ocean. And there are waves in the ocean. And the waves are outside my window. And I hear them. Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh... I draw the waves for Mama everyday. They are squiggly and big, like the messy lines on Mama's forehead. Mama's forehead is big, big! And the waves are big, big like Mama's forehead! They are blue like the sky. The sky is blue because blue is your favourite colour. I like blue too, because Mama loves blue. I want Mama to know that there are waves outside our house. I can hear them swooshing outside the window. Papa says: "It's just the wind." But he's wrong, Mama. Wind doesn't swoosh like a wave does. I know, because I hear it. You hear it too, right, Mama? And you dream about the waves too. And in your dream, the waves are swooshing outside your window. They are squiggly and they fill our room with the big ocean. They can even touch the sky. And the window can't hold the ocean anymore, and their hands go- BAM! Mama mama, The waves are coming into our house. Wake up. They're coming. They're coming in Mama. The room is so small, and the ocean is so big. Wake up. Isn't blue our favourite colour? Don't you want to see the blue sky again? The waves outside our window are coming in. And you sleep like they don't. Mama. Do you know? I can hear the waves in you Deep, deep inside you. They are big, big like your forehead. Bigger than the bed you are lying on. Sometimes you don't wake up when I want you to, But it's okay. Mama must be dreaming about the ocean again.

An ****** haircut, she does give, that only a lover can; sweetly amatory are the cuts and nicks, that heighten my  sensual pleasure.                   click of scissors -                   the sound her lips make,                   when we hesitantly unlock,                   after a long, squiggly, sloshy kiss.                                                  *now, her scissors                                             get busy, giving the                                             tips of my hair                                             sweet pain of love bites,                                             my ***** are on fire,                                             goosebumps sow desire,                                             my eyes, wink and shut,                                             if I swoon, no wonder,                                             this sweet torment,                                             brings me to the limits.*

*"Once upon a time there was" "no"       "No"             "NO" "Many moons ago" "There was a dreamer" Who wished with all her heart, To find the gold at the rainbows end, She would look for clouds Bursting Up High, Her mother smiled. "Are you still searching for that rainbows end" "Pamela  your dreams are the clouds" *"Mummy a *** of gold I will find"* "For if you latch on to one" "You will find yourself upon the other side"" Then one morning awoke to find a rainbow Moving over her lawn, Blouse, Trousers, Shoes On too, she had packed a case Encase this time did come true, She slid down the banister "Whoooooosh" Through the front door, Just as it was fading Hands did grab hold, She was surrounded by colours Red,                 Orange Yellow                  Green Blue                Indigo Violet All were pure and bright, then with a "Thump" On her bottom she did land, surrounded By beauty, plants the colours of the rainbow "Blue leaves" "Grass was orange" Sky was all shades of the rainbow too, A *** seen, gold did gleam, Mouth wide open, A violent fly flew in then out, "Gross" And she then quickly shut her mouth, She was over the moon, the rainbow too, She picked it up, Lighter than she thought?? She picked one up Put it too her mouth, And bit, It was squiggly in her mouth "Gross" Twice in two minutes, She was Sullen, Grumpy, Tears Did cascade from little eyes, They came out Colours of the rainbow Which lightened her mood, She wiped her tears looked once, twice Then hands upon the rainbow, And whoosh, she landed with a "Thump" On next doors cow, "MMmmmoooooo" Went the cow, "AAaahhhhhhh" Went Pamela, She ran with  a Scare And Fright, As in the distance still hearing the angry "MMMmmoooooooooooo" She ran to her house, opened the door, "MUM" "MUM" "MUM" With a fright her mum ran out, "Pamela" "My baby are you all right" "I found the rainbow" **"I found the *** "I found a land of colour," "But the treasure wasn't right" All said with in one breathe, Now breath my angel, As mother did take a coin Opened it carefully and with the tip Of here finger tasted it, "MMmmmm" So creamy, so light, As she took her in the kitchen, And the toaster minutes later POPPED out, Spreading it evenly, and eaten was The toast crust and all, "Mummy may I try one" Pamela said "Magic words my honey bear" "Please may I try one" And with that the toast again POPPED out, "MMmmmmmmm" "My gosh mummy this tastes divine" "You found a golden treasure that's for sure" As they had toast each morning, Opening a coin spreading it evenly, "It was a taste to behold" The treasure at the end of the rainbow, Wasn't money, but I was something better A taste that put a smile on faces Every morning at breakfast time.

Ambiguous intent
Anyone can share their body. But to bear ones soul to the eyes of another is the epitome of being naked. To expose your barriers, to open up to that person, knowing that at any moment they could change their mind. Looking past make up, skin tones, weight and self esteem, there lies an entity all in its own. Strong, but yet a piece is missing. A piece where you find you fit perfectly. If only they would allow you to cradle and nature their soul with the care of a mother to an infant. But then you spot it, a hint of distrust. There is no such thing as free lunch, or so they say. You cut down your barriers, Pushing past the walls you’ve built up, And past the trust issues. You lie there, open, vulnerable, Just as they and you understand their distrust. Distrust not for them but for the carelessness of man. To carry a soul is not like carrying a purse, or a knapsack. You swallow it. It becomes a part of you, and you apart of it. You find yourself becoming one with something bigger than yourself. And it’s terribly frightening, isn’t it? You can feel it can’t you? Two hearts, and yet one heart beat. Four lungs, and yet one breath. You can feel the blood gushing to your ears as you carry Around this burden if you think of it that way. But it’s a beautiful burden, one you nurture, you allow to grow, and yet it scares you as it grows. As you can’t find yourself as yourself. It becomes “we” and no longer “me” It becomes “Us” and no longer “I” The change in the air is palpable. It’s frightening, For both of you. You can count the heart beats of a lone cricket until you meet again, Until you kiss again. But the kiss is different, not entirely in its taste but in it’s dress. It’s like being kissed by a star. You’re not sure where you begin and it ends. You don’t want to, do you? Now there’s a permanent lazy smile plastered across your face. As if you’ve got a secret riddle that no one can solve. But you don’t. You’ve found it. THE IT. What scientists search for. The meaning to life resting in your heart and dancing just on the outskirts of your sanity. It’s funny. Soul mates always sounded like something Hollywood Would use to get you to purchase a ticket. Now your soulmate has brought you to purchase An Investment. An Investment in them and life. *When I typed in the title, the read squiggly line came up at the bottom, I realized soulmates isn't a word it's a concept. Possibly might change the title later.

I tried to draw a cloud. I really did. with trembling hands that black pen found my wrist but they were always too squiggly or too big or small never just right, the way they must be for you. I always thought that clouds were a thing of happiness of joy, and birthday parties and wishes but not for you all the clouds brought was a sick sort of happiness the kind of happiness that you have when you get a "i'm sorry" card about the loss of your grandmother they only brought that idea that they were there becuase you weren't going to be there, so painfully soon so I tried with tears, and screams and sobs to draw a perfect cloud with a perfect color on the perfect day it was always wrong though my hand didn't like the way that you were leaving us leaving us on a cloudy day for somewhere else somewhere else from that place we met where happiness was darkness was there too, but I hope you always remember the happiness, wherever you are now and I hope you know that we miss you even though I'm not able to take a pen to my skin and etch your final wish, a cloud, I still think about it about how the clouds stole you away from us like a blade tears my jean pocket but were are you now they say that you left us before august 31st, the day you told us oh how I wish that august 31st was just a madeup day a day that never showed up on the calendar, because it was all a lie perhaps on august 31st there will be clouds again clouds drawn on eager hands with eager tears that still flow after you've gone and only the clouds remain in your place, reminding us, that you were here, we didn't make it up it wasn't a dream. how do you draw clouds for someone you never really knew anyway? how do you show that you care when you do but you don't know it how painfully it is to draw a cloud on your arm for someone who will never see it perhaps you'll see clouds there though? maybe you'll see the way that my clouds never turned out right how they twisted and turned and broke into little pieces how they were too big and too small how they held too many sobs to even look like real clouds how the clouds themselves were pain; which of course, was the problem with your clouds

*Wanton moonlight, filtered through a fine white net of cirrocumulous clouds, so delighted by their caresses splashing noiselessly in to the blue pool, wears an alluring tiara, a crust created by fine foam, does a squiggly dance in the heart shaped pond, where waves make beams swing around non stop. The silver white lilies, one by one touched by this magic, comes alive, open their eyes drink from the fountain of moonlight and join the dance. The love pair, in their nocturnal love games are lubricious to the core having lost their hearts to both the ethereal beauty and the arrows of cupid*

Squiggly Wiggly The good little squid named squiggly wiggly Wasn’t always such a good little squid Squiggly wiggly had to learn her lesson the hard way She used to go about her business all Wiggly Jiggly She didn’t have a care in the world she always acted like a kid Her parents never knew what she was doing or where she would stay Whenever she was on the playground she was always a bully She never tried to be kind or polite she never did anything fully Then one day she had a shock She was out playing around the block Along came a shark who gave her a blow She fell so hard she had to stand up slow Off she went to complain to the others Everyone ignored her even her brothers And so she learned from that mighty shock That its never nice to hurt or mock From that day on the squid named Squiggly Wiggly Was always a very kind squid

Squiggly Wiggly
the dregs of your spotted smiles somersaulted in an elegant arc fell in helpless array and landed nine planets away from my feet and something slightly old still feeds my anger at your impatience I forage through my grace to keep my tongue from spilling mess and my heart feels all squiggly as I sneeze my way to your mocking silence I gladly offer sweet indulgence while you openly despise my faults I forage through my fantasies, not wishing to appear so trivial lesions swell on the plastic head of revulsion let not depression eat at your sweet magical pulse still strongly beating in the sometimes sepulchral coffers of life scorn not the honey bee buzzing or the hummingbird flitting embrace the nuisance of calamity for it helps along the way to make vigorous the spirit to wedge a cardiac space in place of pillowcase full of stones where giants sleep in silent meadows across the land sensing no sharp slingshot from no nifty bottle legged creature and disappearing into the thicket would be the right time on a heavy back, a child carries a burden made of toxic crayons to melt away the awful prejudice of its forbears; undo the chains the bringer of rain stands alone in a puddle, or is it a lake? are YOU awake?

My fingers have ribs directed inward, the squiggly lines that make up the prints on the walls with eyes face to face with the mindful trees nature listens to my shriveled cry as morning breaks into an evening sky. Christmas is done with the new year is gone boredom sings its sadistic song frozen beneath the empire’s lies the truth is fading in the mire smoothly set in place set pieces are falling away. If this won’t sustain I can find my way back again I won’t be blinded by illusions, indifferent to the calendar’s milestones and get away from this confusion for once, I’d like mourning to feel not like another gloomy dusk.

Left-handed mistake
The vagaries of a boyish heart penciled her squiggly name onto this warped white sill; they can also reduce it to the cryptic black crumbs his soft-puff of a sigh will spill into a gulping down by the floor's shy crevices.

Impermanence of writing
everything has the potential to be ridiculous - even your pain. this you must accept and then, the terrible is only ungainly and awkward, a bad storyteller in a squiggly dr. seuss adventure-scape, full of ears and fascinated minds.

ridiculous
It has been years But I found an old Birthday card you Sent me when I just turned seven Wishing me luck, Health, and a Long life. You never were blessed With any of that But you didn't know that, We didn't know that Yet. It was written In your favorite color Blue, that is also My favorite color, In squiggly cursive, P.S. you hope I get the card And you hope it has The $20 in it; You never trusted The postal service. I forgot that $20 was there So I never spent it; Fourteen years later, My finger tips Pinch it tight Once again And with tears streaming Down my cheeks, I read: "Buy yourself something pretty". I can't buy you back. It's like I lost you All over again.

All Over Again
These people...they're obsessive. Hoarders of memorabilia associating success with handshakes, photographs and play-dates. I'm surrounded by squiggly lines vandalizing art and silhouettes of super-heated sand granules encasing a substance so vile that it permanently damages the frontal lobe of the collective consciousness. Inspirations float helplessly about the sea of underachievers and people-pleasers. What is success? Is it simply to impress the people around you? To instill envy upon your enemy? I won't even begin to dissect the differences. I can't even begin to protect the witnesses. The costumes are insignificant. The same tired, scared, eyes stare blankly at themselves from behind every mask. The ladder needs some broken rungs. The bladder bleeds; soaked in ***  People milling about, spilling their sins. Reaching out sure looks a lot like clawing, and what is the difference between pleading and begging? May it be the same difference between dancing and squirming? No matter what we do, we all feel unworthy.  So, I guess all that's left is: Learning.  Teaching, not preaching. Boy, this place sure is unnerving.  A shuffling mass of introverts sent into a downward spiraling life of discomfort, soon to be snuffed out with possessions.  The empathy for the undead is utterly apparent, and arguably, inherent. Looking for answers in dusty pages and plastic heroes.  Punks, Drunks, Nerds, *****  Women with bright hair and crooked teeth. Men replacing the hair they've lost on their heads with that which sprouts from their chins.  I need a drink, I think.  But in actuality what I need is a warm bed and a couple centuries of sleep.

Whatever happened to one? One telephone company – Ma Bell! You picked up the receiver, Attached by a squiggly wire, And dialed the phone – literally. You put your finger in the hole For the number or letter; Rotated the dial and back it came, Rotating in reverse, and making that wonderful sound: Ti-ka - Ti-ka - Ti-ka - Ti-ka - Ti-ka - Ti-ka - Ti-ka Then the person on the other end answered And actually said – Hello… No lost calls – no breaking up… Simply one – And it worked. Bleach is even more confusing. If you wanted clean clothes You went to the store and bought Bleach. You did have a choice – Bleach or Bleach. One! It was easy You picked up one bottle or the other – Either one – they were both the same – One! Easy. Today there are 7,826 ½ choices! Bleach that smells like flowers; Bleach that smells like fresh air; (I’m not sure how that’s possible) Bleach that’s like a cool, refreshing stream; Bleach that spills and splashes; Bleach that doesn’t spill or splash. Bleach in colors – Liquid – Solid – Powder… Will there be decaffeinated bleach next? (More about coffee another time) I’m beginning to understand Why people take drugs – The bleach aisle alone is Enough to torment the brain! One was simple. One was effective Choices are nice But better left for the Wine list. http://www.leaves-of-ink.com/2019/06/choices.html
