"squinty" poems
Listen to the minority’s burden There are more than you may see Your idea of equality Is quite different from what I believe The facts are alive and well And terribly ignored By many common folk who can not tell What all we’ve been fighting for Listen to our burdens They’ve been here all along Since the pale folks came for us And decided they knew where we belong Listen to my burden I am more than my ethnicity But no one pays attention to my character Thank you, oh dear society I’m not here to do your math homework Or be the punch line of your joke Or be the one who is categorized As a yellow, squinty-eyed bloke We have countless burdens So listen to what we say Please stop your patterns of racist jokes and ignorance And realize that change must begin today

The Minority's Burden
I hate your stupid face Those squinty eyes, them closed lips Your expression so emotionless Flat and stagnant is what it drips Those masculine eyebrows, your expansive hair That skin void of blemishes and scars Complexion of espresso dancing with milk Leaving the beholder seeing stars Empty of smiles and feelings Your visage the definition of dry I go seeking for some semblance of life Through your dark mysterious eyes So I hate your stupid face For it is the one that leaves me breathless Casting the root on my heart Rendering me into a state of restless

Stupid Face
I dreamt that I woke up to the sight of you. Our legs were still intertwined, Bare like the entirety of our bodies. Squinty-eyed and morning breath. I never cared, The sight of you was a gift. I swear you have an internal heater. Either that or you’re a vacuum Based on my collarbone covered in lust. I woke up and you weren’t here. Again. My doctor says I should be getting more sleep. But, imagining you’re still here is My worst nightmare.

Good Morning
To write a happy poem First you need a start You need to find something beautiful Something close to your heart If those are the guidelines Then I'll write about you Because I see your beauty There for me, through and through Your smile brightens up the room Like sunlight in the dark Your eyes though small and squinty Reflect the beauty contained within I know the reason why they're small It's not because of genes It's because you're protecting them Showing them to those who deserve to see them Because your eyes are like your heart; Sensitive, but beautiful Hidden, but alive I wanted to write a happy poem So I tried to write one about you I hope it says what I meant to mean And in your heart rings true

How-to: Happy Poems
I love the way you smile Full and bright with squinty eyes The way you toss, your crimson hair girl Makes me proud to be a woman You rattle and shake me We laugh together on your porch Bright sun and green grass Like your eyes, but not as bright Your car goes fast girl Red, chili pepper red Hot like your bite Like your pride Loud and spicy like your laugh You're free girl Big smiles as you spin in fast circles, in your front yard on this heavy summer's day Sometimes your eyes are blue, like big sky flying But I like them green.

Green Eyes Smile
How I used to see myself These eyes that shine through the glass These eyes that water from the smell of grass Yeah I’m allergic, to the constant cut lawn But that’s only one of my flaws that has yet to be drawn As a line, I can only see so far Yet I can see farther without the lens, how bizarre I used to think like I was apart of the trend What society, media, and the news transcend I would try to pretend that I wasn’t what was depicted The type of discrimination made most from fiction I am just a simple person, just like the rest Well, not entirely simple, but nonetheless I need glasses so that I don’t have to squint It makes my life easier yet nerds represent Those with four eyes, under the guise of friendship he was betrayed Cause you’re smart others seek that for comfort I am another person, I left out simple I am unique, not simple, yet I grew up with pimples So not only do you wear glasses but covered in acne I was actually bullied in middle school because of this I was called “acne,” to my face by a girl all day, every day, yes I began to hate my face I hated the feeling it gave me when I looked at the mirror No way in hell was proactive making it clearer I hit puberty harder than I knew with a deep voice, squinty eyes that made me look high, and a cratered face, fat build so I floated like the moon I really hated my figure until I grew I grew into the body that my thoughts would never know I acknowledged myself though And that will remain a fact, I learned I needed to love myself first before I could love another Why? Because to me these eyes that I used to see Would one day have someone staring back and if I didn’t love myself, how could I expect the other to love me I see with these eyes today, looking at myself and see things way incredibly differently I don’t care how others perceive me, From rumors they’ve heard or from the hate that others serve I can care less. All I know is what’s in front of me now These eyes that see more than a few steps in front of me I believe that one day I’ll have more, than a dresser drawer as my art space Something brighter than my own face Right now I can’t help but smile I smile cause I feel like I’ve walked a long mile And honestly, I’ll take each day at a time I see with these glasses sometimes a broken frame And at that point, I normally tape them up And smile again

A palpable discord keeps me turning all through the night until the late rays of Sun shine by again I want a dreamcatcher Feathery-spider web- To keep my hypnagogic rest sacred to me And then I can wish him closer... Without a separating sea I reserved my sleep to calmer nights where my dainty ribs caressed an incense-ridden wind My dreams are a shade happier than me I found my wrists bedecked in fine jewelery There's no chiming of antique clocks in my sleepy subconscious knots. My eyes were not corrosed over so when he spoke I comprehended with crystal orbs I'd hoped I find him through disheveled bedsheets under the waxing moon... It illuminated my skin and sent me soundly reveling in the hazy countenance To me he's Elvis' love child He's a wish fulfilled to me I discovered an idol I write letters, coveted, held close I worship what I know of him My thoughts are almost this tangible-thing like a rope I could grab and make a knoose out of perhaps it's time to slay the golden bull I struck his wayward glance by some silver spring of snow He's travelled to the ruins of cathedrals with chipped limestone on the doors arched-shape... darkness on the otherside... Mother Mary follows, walking through some threshold hallway Crooked stem, bent leaves... A pruned up crackled rose for me to eat Those eyes... dark brown, almond-shaped Squinty with sparrow-feet I'm waiting in the mountains Clouds covering my eyes Ocean blue in the stark sunshine blinding me and enveloping me when the music dies

/             conversation over a bbq dinner being given the information over a new M.I. movie.. i really think tom cruise should have won an oscar for -         born on the 4th of july... without bias,    but given the oscar award for the grunting and heaving, and minimal dialogue / monologue of leonardo's the revenant? the world is a cul de sac...   and what remains of it... is a shitshow worth, of a congested street with nothing but, paupers /             window-shoppers to be lined up; mannequins coming alive and taking to disco dancing the hell out of having donned a boney m afro; drunk, squinty eyed...    looking around, surmising my thought with...            huh?! it's a good thing i'm this good at drinking, never having dropped acid.

however much you hate tom cruise
I met him one night in December... close to Christmas Eve When I walked in he had candles lit and some scotch for us to drink His peepers are dark and squinty His laugh is warm and lovely His voice is satin spiked with honey He drinks purple-graped-red-wine He resembles Dionysos Nature as a male He works with cryptic messages Amalgams and his speach is a rainbow of different languages Could of sworn I've met this man in some dreamy distant place... Palaces of concertos ringing when I study his copper face I had a restless wistfulness... A particular soulful malnutrition That eventually dissipated in our bathtub conversation I swear I would cross oceans In the hope that we might meet again I understand he has a habit of diving into fountains... He dances with gypsies on the street Sometimes I fail to see how someone as worldly as he could like someone like me I call when he runs by Vesuvius I want his extra time I always forget the 7 hour time difference but... when we talk it makes me smile

Him
Ol’ Long and Tall sits uncomfortably in the seat next to mine. It is obvious that his back is bothering him this morning. ‘Hey, dad…” This is how it always starts. Anytime he wants to talk, he opens with this salvo. I think it’s like using a turn signal when changing lanes or something, and who really knows what lane my boy is in as he hurtles down his own highway? It’s not that I don’t know him, or care what’s on his mind, not at all. We’re both thinkers, Alex and I, it’s just that he gets a little bit tangled up now and then, and just goes blank, but never dull. I think “Hey, dad…” offers a bit of a reset; just a moment’s pause for organization, such as it is in Alex’s case. “Hey dad…” he starts. “Did you know…?” He goes on to tell me some facts, which I forget now, about Hawaii. Soon, that folder is empty so he begins telling me tidbits about the migratory process of monarch butterflies. “Where did you learn this stuff?” I ask. “At school.” “On the internet.” he states. “Good.” “That’s good.” I assure him. “There’s more to the internet than You Tube and Minecraft; and you found it.  I’m glad” “Yup.” he says and grins his squinty grin at me. I nod and keep driving, it is a school day and we’re on the highway. No radio this morning, just talk. I wait. 5 seconds 10 seconds 15 seconds “Hey dad…” *** -JBClaywell ©P&ZPublications; 2016

romance is giving me the last bite of your sandwich even though it's the best part with the cheese running down the sides romance is holding the door for me when your arms are full of books and papers romance is playing with my ***** hair when i haven't showered in days because you know i love it romance is patiently holding water to my lips when i'm too drunk to keep my hand steady romance is giving me your last cigarette when i've had a long day, even though i know you won't be able to scrape together change for a new pack romance is asking me to marry you with a key ring because that's all we have the money for because we're young and crazy romance is sitting in the back of the car laughing at nothing because our eyes get so squinty when we're ****** romance is leaving what you're doing to come pick me up when i called you crying for no reason romance is holding my hand and my head and my heart in silence when i can't find the words to express the chaos inside my own mind romance is listening to me ramble about the same old **** and caring just as much as when i told you the first time romance is the way you smile when i'm sad, the way you cradle my head in your neck, the way you kiss me on the nose, the way you text me good morning and goodnight every day, the way you tell me you love me and mean it romance is you, and me, together

Supposing it is my way, although that is never the intended effect. Shaking the irrational awake is difficult as insensitive as words may seem, instead of causing adverse reaction the hope is to open eyes and ears alike, kindling a desire for change in thought and action. A new system of thinking. A new order of hope found in something real unlike the mythology of today. The idea of ignorance is faulty and study is imperative in order to dig for treasures stored in heaven. Love is real and attainable although blind love will lead to an unstable view of lose ideas of kisses and backing that doesn't exist. A realistic view is sometimes blunt and hard to even take a peek into with squinty eyes. I apologize.

Insensitive
Sometimes I wonder If we could've been If your squinty smile and long black hair Could've shunned the demons that always held me back Maybe if your quirkiness could've made me less of a hack I don't know I think to myself You and Me, could've never been Your perfection was on every level From your inner To your outer From level 1-1 to level 8-4 it seemed like my thoughts were just a locked door Preventing myself to take the first step into your world

Men are doomed, Carla told me, It’s your eternal haircuts, she continued, How can you sculpt a life from a single shape, One look, Every mirror an impersonation Of the initial version of one’s self, Each day reduced to a child’s calculation, You wake up, only older, grayer, a withered rasp, Ever more discouraged by the unfairness of things. Carla exhaled a dragon’s torrent White jet streams unfurled out of both nostrils, A waft of my father’s morning scent. With a flick of her thumb, She snapped the ash Off the end of her cigar. A sharp hiss as the ember sizzled and sank In the shallow of a pavement puddle. It had cold rained most of the day. Over a pause, the sky roiling with indigestion, We bundled up in autumn clothes, And trudged uptown, Our chins tucked deep into our chests, Our squinty eyes glued to our shoes, The wind had a slap to it. It isn’t war you should fear, she continued, It’s robots. Soon we won’t need you for anything, Carla jabbed her lacquered fingernail at phantoms as she spoke. Women have been fornicating with machines For over a hundred years, she said, The transition for us has already occurred. Weld and solder us a pleasant replica, One that can shine a toilet Sterilize the dishes, **** us brilliantly, And recite Shakespeare at will- Believe me, Soon we will barter for your ********* Exchanging bitcoins for the innate, With no intention of ever attending your funeral. No the war is over and men have lost, Carla repeated. She walked ahead me, Her hips a sashay as she spit a loose bit of tobacco leaf Onto a lamp post. I could not persuade my eyes to look away.

The wind opens the clouded curtains to reveal the shining sun. This glorious orb had winked, however uncertain That the wink was directed to only one. I saw this phenomena, and felt as if I was revealed all truth. In this game of life, I was dealt With the eternal heart of a youth. Granted to me by that life giving sun Was the power to see; A gift that cannot be undone. So I blinked one eye And winked in reply. I continued upon my way and saw in the distance, a creature. His teeth were on display and squinty eyes added to the feature. Twas a smile that was given to I, and felt as if I was one with his soul as I caught this beauty with my eye; Just then I was complete and whole. I was so graciously given By this beautiful creature The heart to keep on livin' As his smile was my greatest teacher. So I stretched my lips from ear to ear and smiled back, for I was no longer in fear. The trees shook and rustled as I was slowly passing by. And as the leaves bustled I glimpsed the wave as they said hi. I stood still to stare, as the leaves were dancing a greeting. I felt the love that we do share, 'cause my heart was aflame and beating. I was knowledgeably instilled By this humble, but noble tree; my quest for friendship is fulfilled; 'cause I learned that there is always a we. So with my hand, a branch I did take as I returned the lovely handshake. I heard the blissful chatter of a girl years younger than I. I asked what was the matter; 'I'm laughing!' was the reply. Her carelessness got the better of me, and in her freedom I cheered with rejoice, as we danced and shared the eternal glee. I was jubilant to hear the guffaw in her voice. I was so ecstatically presented by this lightened and carefree soul with the sense of freedom, cemented knowing that, of myself, only I am in control. So I took her hand, and gave a great bellow, as I gave her a laugh like a jolly 'ol fellow. I could feel the totality of the earth in my humble, but powerful heart. I was a part of the on-going mirth as I saw creation as God's art. I could feel the boundless love that was radiating from every being. Twas the state of bliss I had been dreaming of; A feeling that is oh so freeing. I was permanently endowed by this force I was so familiar with, with a love, of which I am proud; A feeling that is more than just a myth. So I vulnerably opened my heart with pride, and returned that love worldwide. Ever since the day of those subtle realizations I have made a point of each today to join in the celebrations; by laughing, loving, and befriending.

A Gracegel Gift
The veins in your hands, The strong structure of your body. Eyes that have haunted my dreams for months. The same pair of sweatpants every day, That somehow completes you. And the random stares that make my stomach drop. The low voice you use when we are close, And the shaky whispers when we are alone. The colors you radiate are brilliant. And the energy you give sends shivers down my spine. The smell that lingers  on the clothing you lend me, And the strength that gives me during the day. Your strong arms around me when I fall asleep. Did I ever tell you that I can hear you? Faintly, but one time I could remember. No dream, just a voice. And I tried to say it back, But my voice caught in my throat. And it was then that I knew, We'd be that way forever. Or at least a very long time. The bright, squinty eyed, smile when You're having fun, Or when a friend says something perverted. And the laugh that is contagious. Your annoyance when I wear heels, And your in insistence that I am indeed a gamer. Even if it is a joke. Your ability to stay strong even if life kicks you where it counts. And your determination to save people, Help everyone you can, Before saving yourself. I could go on for eternity. But, and I will steal your line, I need something to write about later, right?

she is lovely a bit crazy for details but at least she cares. small frame arms that wrap for miles squinty eyes no brows all smiles. will work to play cook in ‘waves or take us out to share her pay. simple thoughtful quirky probably ***** radiantly charming sometimes smothering but never annoying, well maybe a little, but she taught me to be strong independent overbearingly anxious now and again but sweet and funny and no, mom, ice cream doesn't make everything better but the people you share it with do— have I told you lately...?

I'm all squinty-eyed this am (A.M.) with a certain je-ne-sais-quoi here, in my brain, today. Strumblin' about, trippin' on stuff; My body responds not as it should! I'm in dire need of coffee or bacon or toast or ELECTROLYTES (my friend assures me this is so). Hands up! Who's all broken? and disjointed                          and confuddled                                                      and hell — bedazzled!? The sparkles in my eyelids won't go away and- I've- had- the- hic- cups- since- last- night. What a great time tho? I think...YES. Later that day... — Happy ***** Times!

You Gotta Get Up to Get Down
I'm the Nat Geo reader the Facebook creeper the go- to- sleep- later the fake ***** hater. I'm the question asker the things- I'll- never- use- again stasher the big stomach eater and natural leader. I'm the girl with the small eyes and big hands. And why would God give a girl with so much to see and no one to hold small eyes and big hands, can you tell me? God is laughing you see. He's saying Child.. I knew you'd be a seer- to- believer a mental image taker- not- leaver so I gave you small thirsty eyes and big hands too, because you're usually a pusher and bigger hands would make you that much more likely to hold things close to you. So my squinty eyes can see that my big hands push me to pull things close. And I completely forget their size when I thank God for a mighty fine pair of hands and eyes.

Hands and Eyes
If I was given a day   By god   Or whatever force there may be It would be with you In an empty room   and you would speak to me I would ask no questions Utter no words Invisible buttons would be connecting my lips You would speak of it all What makes you laugh Favorite memories Why you're so shy   your weak spots If you're selfish what side of the bed you like hot or cold   sweet or sour Marvel or DC I would watch knuckles cracking touseling of thick hair squinty giggles My heart would grow immensely With every    Secret.  Hobby.  Weakness.  Preference. watching your lips move and your face morph With every emotion my heart would reach to you in sorrows and leap at triumphs Butterflies would become a typical occurrence a smile tattooed on my face that's all I desire You   I voluntarily trapped in a room shedding our skin specifically yours in no way is that strange In fact   it's beautiful

Self hate is so much more than based off personal looks. The way your eyes slant downwards or are just a little too squinty, the way your nose takes up a fourth of your face. The way the kids tease you that your lips are too big or small. The way that girl called you fat, ugly, skinny, sick. The way they told you you can never be loved. Self hate routes from something bigger... A fire burning deep inside. Self hate comes from emotion. It comes from the people closest. The ones your told to trust. Mom, dad, sister, brother, aunts and uncles. Mom and dad used to fight... Your older sister said it was all your fault. You blamed yourself for so long. Then one day you took a blade. First time you ran it down your arm. Let out your demons. They screamed inside. And now they are free. Sure the kids at school all play into this. But it's so much more. If only you could see. Within you there is still beauty. You survived. Therefore insperation remains alive. You got past every name you've ever been called. Every word your parents cursed. You got through it all.

Venting about self hate/harm
The chickens watch us with their tiny T-Rex eyes, their funny feather hats shaking and pulsing with Heaven only knows. Collecting warm brown eggs from haughty hens is an honor. That’s what Papa says, at least. Papa built these coops himself, I tell all the chickens. He made them because he loves you or maybe just because he wants your eggs. I’m not sure which, I say, but it’s one of those two or both. The silkies are doubtful and pacing and ready to peck me into a bare corn cob, but I’ve got an egg carton to fill and this is the first time I can help because Grandma isn’t home. Papa humors my toe-turns and my untamed joy the way that only Papa can, with squinty jokes and whistle-wheezy laughs. An almost dropped egg here, a yellow yolked yelp there, and my egg carton is full. Papa wears a sunny-side up smile and the chickens don’t mind if we sing.

Silkies
Fat cats sit on mats for kids to rhyme and wile away the time of day and I'm dazed by the haze of my days, 'cause seeing clearly's overused and I'm amused by your subtle clues you choose to drop and hint that we're a pair. You squint your eyes at mine and find I'm back inside my head rhyming kid words too cold for snow and too old, so though you think it's bold for you to say, I was told you'd stay to play, which makes me not surprised you'd spill your guts through your squinty eyes.
