"stuffing" poems
Fat people have no heads. They end at the shoulders, they are clipped off at the neck. Never talk to fat people. You may talk to an expert, to a dietitian or a doctor but never to a real live fat person because fat people have no heads. Use the word Epidemic at least once, especially if children are involved. Children are always involved, so use the word Epidemic at least once. Fat children still have heads, usually; only fat adults must be d e c a p i t a t e d. Because he still has his head you may talk to a fat child, especially if you offer him a box of chicken nuggets. Entice him to say Alarming Things with a box of chicken nuggets. After the word Epidemic segue from concerned anchorwoman to stock footage of fat headless girl browsing the racks at J.C. Penny’s. Segue to fat headless mom walking with her fat headless son on a sidewalk populated by fat headless pedestrians. Voice-over Alarming Things about fat headless people not getting enough exercise and segue to fat headless man stuffing his fingers into a box of McDonald’s french fries. Fat people eat only McDonald’s french fries and we will be right back with more on this story after a word from our sponsors. Cue McDonald’s theme song. Pretty people Golden Arches laughing with their heads as they eat McDonald’s french fries with their heads and never gain a pound.

Rules for a Nightly News Feature on Obesity
When I am older I will be just like my Nan, Streaking my naked body every Wednesday to the delivery man. I will have a chihuahua, Drink my milk when its sour, Use by dates will mean nothing, For 10 year old bread makes a good stuffing, I will live off many cups of tea Every ten minutes have a *** Hoard a thousand tin of beans in the draw, We all know we need them when we're at war, I will be superstitious, And make food taste delicious, I would be head of my family, head of my herd, My word will be final, anyone else's word is absurd, Anyone who calls me 'dear', will get a slap around the ear. YES, I want to be just like my Nan, Every Wednesday streaking to the delivery man.

The Crumblies
The table is set for our thanksgiving feast and all have taken their place The meal of the year, is finally here, and oh, how great it will taste.. Potatoes and gravy and cranberry sauce, and rolls that are made fresh and hot. Turkey with stuffing, right out of the oven. Pumpkin pie that hasn’t been bought. Our family is anxiously gathered around in a circle of love hand in hand. A scene reminiscent of thanksgivings past. A tradition we all understand. Dad offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God for abundance of blessings we share. Tears touch his cheeks as he humbly gives thanks for much more than the food that is there. Though stomachs are empty, each heart is full while united as family we pray, Thanking dear God for His wonderful love, and our blessings this Thanksgiving Day. When this day is gone and life carries on, may gratitude live on in me. Lord help me, I pray, to make every day a day of thanksgiving to Thee.

The human mind is an interesting thing Mine is very As it tends to wander I mean Explore I have been told by an authority My wife That she's never seen one like it Although how she can see a mind I don't know She has seen a lot in her life Both with and before me She was a Travel Agent She's been to Turkey I like turkey I made an interesting stuffing for turkey once It was during my time in the seafood retail business In a fish market It, the stuffing I mean, had shrimp, scallops and crayfish in it My wife didn't like it much, she's of Irish heritage She's been to Ireland too Twice Once in college and once with her family Ireland is where Delorian made his cars in the 1980s Before he was arrested for trafficking in ******* I have not been to Ireland I have been to France, Belgium and England I stayed in Waterloo Belgium for two weeks In the 80's When I was 25 Waterloo is where Napoleon was finally vanquished Beaten by an Englishman They have a monument, the lion, on top of a big hill there I had to climb it twice The first time I forgot my camera I got a new camera recently A Pentax I have had several since Waterloo The camera hasn't been anywhere interesting Just my back yard I use it to take pictures of birds At our feeder In the big maple tree On the ground There is even a turkey that comes in our yard My wife's been to Turkey She was a Travel Agent

in a taut black dress you brush by me   you are dark summer fruit simmering hot a sopping estuary   i gather you into me   you cascade like an undulating cat giggles like trembling gelatin cherry kiss lips   agile muscle shifting   pleating like soft furs against my thunderous chest your tremulous tongue rupturing like spiced chrysanthemums from heaven   i inhale your lavender breath   your saliva melts stormy mouth up-leaping i eat your soul and paradise ******** licking honey rainbows filling my mouth a thousand times   and a thousand more its never enough when some one has your heart suffocate me in your drooling mouth your body is my aviary and hot house of man eating plants i run to your teeth beautiful cleavers gleaming shivering with excitement   from your dragging bites my blood languishing at your feet have no regard for me eat my love   i live to be swallowed by you   i hold you through the night all dire raptures dark in mystic paradise   tangled in your hair may mourning never find us torrid scorched from flames infernal black candles uncrossing pasts devils **** your adoring toy   kisses never ceasing hot weather nostrils steaming your flexed body writhes a royal contortion   your heart cleaving so that i may like a sun   consume your darkest edges bitter chocolate so sweet   to fill griefs mouth with ecstasy my heart aches like a siren of echoes   calling to you   shaking your gates down   you are a titanic gravity   and i'm forever tumbling   like eternal burning ashes through cobalt night it is a steep decent into heavens arms as i crumble all smashing diamonds and hissing flames into open wounds weeping glitter your chin jutting throat stretched while pulling the roots of your hair exposing arteries pulsing stuffing myself on your marrow you plume like a volcanic moon showering me with spooling stars and butter **** kisses ill turn you into my glistening little ***** all swollen tears for more   rituals of adoration kisses like monsoon rains i look up at your supple form your haunches my temple   worshiping you smothered in heavens jaws you cascading pantie-less   in a taut black dress

in 1992, a child is born and handed a gift. he opens the box labelled "life" and examines its contents. a blanket hand-stitched with hope, perseverance, and comfort draped over a teddy bear stuffed with fearful nightmares, and heartache. a blue jar labelled "sadness", containing fluttering butterflies symbolizing joy. a ticket for the rollercoaster he's finally tall enough to ride, with no warning of the endless ups and downs. that two-minute rush of adrenaline followed by hours of motion sickness. this child is now twenty six. he is staring at the empty box labelled "life" - at the worn-out blanket lying next to the teddy bear's stuffing - at the shards of blue glass and butterfly corpses - at the torn up carnival ticket. he regrets ever accepting this gift. - v.m

No, you're **** does not not stink. It's **** Your **** smells like **** You are no exception to this truth. If you're a Taurus you probably wipe your *** with toilet paper made of satin. You indulge in fatty and sugary foods quite often, so your ******* satin toilet paper never lasts long. Your ruling planet in Venus, so you see ******** as an art form. You may even decorate your house with your own **** statues. When you're not admiring your own **** you're constipated because you're too ******* stubborn to take a break from stuffing your face with ****** food. Advice: Put down the cannolis and take a walk in a rose garden so you'll know what actual roses smell like.

I am thankful for the mountains I am thankful for the music that comes from the mountains I am thankful for every fire that is lit by nothing more than the embers of a fire that raged before it Only these fires can truly comprehend what it is like to suffer and be born again I am thankful for the knowledge that every human being has in them a true spark Only some don't care or are too busy Or let their dreams be squashed or didn't have the fuel to burn in the first place I am thankful for the holy beat poets Kerouac and Ginsberg I am thankful for the poet saints Rimbaud and Lorca And I am thankful for my saints of folk music Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie shaped me long before any of this But all in all I am thankful for the holy ghost of Carl Sandburg Without him I would not be writing this poem or any I am thankful that these poems allow me to say what I need to I don't expect my words to be recited at weddings or funerals But I don't mind because both atmospheres depress me just the same I am thankful for every trail I have walked I am thankful for every breath of Rocky or Appalachian air ever to enter my tragic lungs I am thankful for the bonfires I have lit I am thankful for the sticks that snap in my hands and leave scrapes that bleed only enough to remind me that I'm alive I do not need such reminders but it's always a nice thing to have I am thankful for every lost love Whether I disappointed them or ****** them off is no matter All that matters is that there is humility I am thankful for the fact that these lost loves are leading Completely happy lives with or without me Knowing someone's happiness is dependent on me is a responsibility I cannot bear I am thankful for this typewriter It was my grandfather's when he was my age He passed away two years ago on the week of Thanksgiving He was born that week too And it isn't pilgrims or stuffing that help me to feel thankful It's the people like him

I sit upon an impossible throne, The world's most comfortable chair. It's all I'll ever wish to own Though I forget it's even there. My chair is ergonomical, Conforming right to me. Whatever I find desirable It suits every want and need. I feed it everything I have But it never is enough, Everyday my fingers bleed Stuffing it with fluff. I only see in front of me, My chair it does not turn. And as far as I can see My chair is the whole world. My chair is all I'll ever know I seldom choose to leave it. It scarcely ever lets me go It's all I can believe in. I don't know what I'd do without it, Perhaps get up and get a life. But instead I'll sit and stagnate, Dying in my own delight.

The World's Most Comfortable Chair
Please don’t call me beautiful when your hands are between my legs, and god forbid you say it as a seg-way between you’re so hot and my caution, your response you’re sure you don’t want to? I’m pretty sure the way my body looks, nineteen and stress-infused with an Oreo belly isn’t really what you pictured beneath my blouse, and I’m positive you didn’t listen to the story about my dad and the bad prom dress because you cared. It was just sentiment. You said it was beautiful, but really you wanted me to believe the act like a description in the Playbill and ride that trust all the way until the curtain dropped. Please don’t call me beautiful when the word ******* is before it or if we are ******* because making love is for married couples and you don’t even want me sticking around for the ****** sunrise that peers underneath your shade every morning. Tell me I’m beautiful when I’m crying— crack me open and watch the colors bleed like a painting that hasn’t dried. Admire the light that peaks through the clear parts like a windowpane, no blinds. Tell me I’m beautiful when I’m laughing, when I’m reading my favorite part of a book, when I’m stuffing my face with peanut-butter pretzel bites and I haven’t washed my sheets in weeks, and I’ll know you can’t be lying because I’ve listened to the waves your heart makes when you’re sleeping and I’ve called your smile to the surface many times when you’ve tried to deflect it back inside. You’ll know that and you’ll know I’m beautiful.   Call me beautiful when you’re not even trying. Call me beautiful when you’re by yourself and the smell of my hair is still on your pillow, or the memory of how dumb I sounded singing my favorite song breaks your heart back to the best little pieces.

Being pregnant is very difficult no one can understand what you are feeling not even another pregnant woman . everyone takes things differently and feels mixed emotions there are some things that are inevitable yet there are things that can be avoided. there is so much i have brushed off in this pregnancy. but there are somethings i just cant control like my emotions im annoyed im tired. im in pain im heavy things that every pregnant woman KNOW that they are going to feel yet i cant control my crying when i get upset or i feel like i need more in my relationship this pregnancy makes me feel unwanted unneeded un-everything things run through my head that i have no idea where they came from. but then again these are things that come with the pregnancy instead of me having all these cravings, stuffing my face and gaining 50 pounds i just gain all these thoughts in my head that hurt me emotionally and give me headaches yet who can i explain these things to, without they thinking im crazy ? they dont understand. especially men ,. how can a man possibly understand and not say something like its pregnancy you know what you were getting into... sometimes i cry at night because i crave an affection that i dont get . yet i think, and i realize ive never gotten this affection. ive never really been complimented in a really nice way like "you look pretty" or something simple like that yea ive gotten TONS of compliments from people that dont even matter but the one man that does matter has yet to say it. i think i have been one of the best women to be pregnant because i havent put my boyfriend through all the **** that i know alot of women put their men through and its by choice. yeah sometimes i feel a major mood swing coming in and i just go to the bathroom and relax why push him away if im the one thats pregnant? ive done all this for him ! what have i gotten? although i may be upset at him right now that doesnt mean that i am saying all these things JUST because i am upset . i am saying them because i mean them i am saying them because i feel them i am saying them because its what goes through my head and i cant confront him to tell him this without crying before even speaking its been 8 years. and i still dont know. he may feel different things about me but this is what i feel . and what i have been feeling for a while. its the simple things that matter to me the most. and to him (although he may deny it) its the bigger things that matter.

The immense striking letters of the gazette’s front page make me almost cross-eyed My mind is going to explode in the images I have seen in the television Boom! When will the politicians be weary in stealing the wealth of the country? Millions of pesos were caught in the centre of the golden sea Can we only find it from other countries? Is that the main reason why Filipinos are migrating: to find source of much bigger income? I am thinking about them together with their bosses with heavy iron hands I believe crime rate is escalating... ...the crime that can grab you 24 hours a day Can we still smell the tainted odor of pictures of the street children... children who beg for a piece of bread? Mr. President, where is the promised straight road you are pointing at? Why can’t we see it? Is it crooked? Why is it that these are the ONLY stuffing of rumors? Why can’t we focus onto a bigger and wider problem of our country and even around the world? Perhaps above all issues, this is the only concern that is not yet trending in Twitter So, I just boasted it to my open-mouthed puppy... “If I will be the President of the Philippines, I will focus first on ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.” Suddenly, Bruno’s saliva dripped.

Pretty Little Cup Cake Store: I walk through the door. Somehow I think it will Cheer me up. A white iced-pink sprinkled cupcake Will help me forget. While unwrapping the trendy black and  baby blue doted baking paper Will bring back the past again. But, even I know it is a ruse A joke I play on myself. You know the owners are some super hot soccer moms whose family invested in their latest project. Those **** bakers with pretty white aprons And size two retro-pink waitress uniforms; Smiling and cooing at the lavender infused cake That makes this treat go down so smooth. A gluten-free icing with a garnish of kumquat. This will land their pictures on the local news. I am not a size two. I will just as soon eat a nutty-buddy by Little Debbie But, this trendy cupcake cafe, makes me feel I am one of those Pretty ladies in the retro pink waitress uniform. Kinda like a celebration, for a party of one. I am not a hot pretty stick chick I will buy four, five or six of those pretty cupcakes. Pretending I am buying a hostess gift. But, the truth..... My husband forgot that we married 8 years ago this day. I will pay too much for too little product: but the cake box is cute I will sit in my car Eating, till my teeth hurt. I will rationalize; that I will cleanse tomorrow. I will go home. He will ask how I am, while staring at the TV. "Shussh" he will say, "I'm trying to hear." There is no use to remind him He will play the tired "I'm-in-the-dog-house game." I prefer stuffing four, five or six pretty little cupcakes Into my mouth then listening To his tired apologies, weak little lies and false promises of a planned Surprise. Instead; I will go to my room; then my private bath: I will stick my fingers down my throat And cough up my life.

I am the love killer, I am murdering the music we thought so special, that blazed between us, over and over. I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss. I am pushing knives through the hands that created two into one. Our hands do not bleed at this, they lie still in their dishonor. I am taking the boats of our beds and swamping them, letting them cough on the sea and choke on it and go down into nothing. I am stuffing your mouth with your promises and watching you ***** them out upon my face. The Camp we directed? I have gassed the campers. Now I am alone with the dead, flying off bridges, hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket. I am flying like a single red rose, leaving a jet stream of solitude and yet I feel nothing, though I fly and hurl, my insides are empty and my face is as blank as a wall. Shall I call the funeral director? He could put our two bodies into one pink casket, those bodies from before, and someone might send flowers, and someone might come to mourn and it would be in the obits, and people would know that something died, is no more, speaks no more, won't even drive a car again and all of that. When a life is over, the one you were living for, where do you go? I'll work nights. I'll dance in the city. I'll wear red for a burning. I'll look at the Charles very carefully, weraing its long legs of neon. And the cars will go by. The cars will go by. And there'll be no scream from the lady in the red dress dancing on her own Ellis Island, who turns in circles, dancing alone as the cars go by.

......was a freezing morning. no rooster woke me....i opened my eyes at first light of dawn, sipped hot coffee....my thoughts, recalling....traveling, with the swirling steam... turkey wasn't done yet, but, hours before, table was already set... while awaiting guests, I leant on the counter...my head, to rest, i looked outside the small window and was greeted by a full moon, aglow... there was so much food on the table...weariness was healed by laughter...conversations touched on weather, politics, food...they refused to end, glasses sparkled with bubbly wine....sliced meat was arranged on a big tray...baked sweet potato with caramel smelled, tasted good...broccoli rave was green and spicy...i didn't know potato salad could taste good without meat!....coffee and pies came next.....the dogs, communicated with their eyes and paws...socializing, too, like their masters, i saw what was left, after slicing the plump roasted fowl...a skeleton, still with thick strands of meat, and the  palatable stuffing made with onions and prunes. dishes were washed, kitchen was back in order, after showering....everyone rushed to their beds, yet, i had to peep out the window, one last time... the full moon, still was upon us...confirming its presence....a long time witness to the moments we celebrate........encouraging our moods, our thoughts.....our hearts.......even when it's not a thanksgiving night..

The Day After...
The squirrels played havoc around the house, picking stuffing from the porch swing, packing it into their cheeks, until they were swollen, pregnant, to fluff their nests with synthetic cotton. They bounded about the yard stopping to squeeze fallen walnuts, like supermarket melons, to see if they were ripe or rotten. Their neighbors, the gopher and raccoon and rabbit were overrun by the squirrels myriad brood. Some (squirrels) sought refuge in refuse, chewing large holes in the trash bins. This would feed many a raccoon’s hungry mouth, but none of them would show thanks. When the numbers began to spill over from the trees, the squirrels began occupying the gutters, causing sheets of ice to cataract, frozen down the sides of the house, and then when the old man found stuffing from his swing in the attic, enough had become enough. Something had to be done. This blatant malfeasance must be dealt with, and so he would devise a plan, a trap. The old man stood watching the plump little devils bounce and leap around his yard, when he saw the bin. And wriggling the fingers on his upturned paw, a sinister plan curled onto his face in a dark smile. He went out to the trash bin and filled it with water, only halfway, no more. He dropped a lightly pumped, bald basketball into the bin, and smiled when the first squirrel drowned in it. Everyday, the old man wriggled his fingers and smiled his dark smile, until he found synthetic swing stuffing in his bed, and realized he had lost.

The swell of your feverish hands over mine. Sweat soaking into my skin. I’m clutching every part of you I can grasp, Every part of you I can fit into my palm. We’re sitting beneath the hollow tree, Beneath the ocean of a sky, Beneath the screaming black-billed cuckoos. We don't say a word because we don't need to; Just silent prayers burned between us, Scarred into pale, malnourished bones. I look at you as your sloe-eyed gaze bores into the mountains of clouds swimming above us. I want to kiss you, But all I can do is lay my head on your shoulder, Wishing I could build a home out of your collarbones. I don't ever feel safe anymore. Except when I’m forgetting everything, with you. At dusk, I tried to unlearn the way the gold in your skin, Possessed your face in scintillant rays of spots. I could count each one if I had the time, But you’re already turning your spine stuffing back away from me, And skipping back home Without the bother or concern to look back.

Too Afraid to Love; Too Afraid to be Alone
Today go outside after you've had all the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce. After you fill your belly with a cornucopia of food. Go out there and thank god that those Indians died off so quickly. Thank god for giving us this land, because we own it, we can own it. It is ours because God said it should be ours, not because we took part in one of the greatest genocides in history. Breathe in all that good air, and thank god that you don't have to be on a reservation. A refugee on the motherland. Our bad.

Thanksgiving.
There was an Old Man of Calcutta, Who perpetually ate bread and butter, Till a great bit of muffin, On which he was stuffing, Choked that horrid Old Man of Calcutta.

There Was An Old Man Of Calcutta
Christmas.... ugh Isn't this a perplexing situation? I have an interesting question... First, I know this poem is not perfection But does any one know what it's like To be utterly alone on what's supposed to be A most joyous day, surrounded by friends and family? That annoying cherubic man Won't be visiting my home It's just an idiotic holiday And no one cares I'll be alone No homemade Christmas dinner I might make myself a grade A steak I'll raise a toast to myself Nothing to boast about Probably just whiskey, bottom shelf I immense-ly hate Christmas Say I'm dense-ly, I don't care Been that way as long as I can remember From the makeshift tree, when I was three To being stuck homeless in a snow drift at sixteen I can count all the "merry Christmas's" I've received On one hand It's never been merry, or happy Most I got was engorged on stuffing And a poorly cooked, dried out Turkey No presents under the tree With a gift tag saying Melanie You know what? Sorry Quin, but this is too **** depressing... I quit... Tequila, Velveeta Distant, instant Solemn, Gollum Under-wear, I don't care Tiny, finely Flightless, loneliness Hindrance, appliance Backward, forward Orange, purge Rooftop, please stop Kringle, Pringles Ha! Invitations? No... Salutations...

I Guess I'm Scrooge This Year (Quin's Christmas Challenge)
I think it’s important to make peace with your long line of perpetually confused and self-indulgent ancestry once grasping at and fumbling through a life at which they, preceding you, assumed they occupied the centre of and sought to prove this to mostly anyone, with rapacious might and puerile visions of their own success story, which no matter how successful would always only occupy the dark corners of their blood-successors’ historical records of themselves, which is to say you, adding them up with other people who were once important to them and stuffing them into some numerical equation on which they occupy the left, and you the right side of the equal-sign, but all of which exists in the vast and endless vicissitude of spinning void, of which you both (and us all) occupy some cosmic equivalence (and importance) of the universes stray skin-cell, somewhere on the foot perhaps, unconsidered and left alone until we all disappear into the casket of an unrecorded history.

An anecdote on existentialism: Must we take life seriously?
The love of a grandson to a grandmother is a special bond. It cannot be broken. A grandmother's presence in the eyes of a grandson makes him behave more like he should behave. He looks up to her. I look up to you. I often wonder what experiences you've gone thorough. What has made you into the you today? You've gone through so much yet, I've only known you for 22 years of it. Through that time, you've shown me what a great grandparent is. You attended most of my Concerts Plays and Musicals with loving support Every birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter without ever missing a beat you would contact me. I thank you So SO SOOOOOO MUCH! I often feel guilty for not always contacting back. I really need to get better at that. As a kid there was nothing better than looking forward to your Christmas presents. The science toys, the cookbooks, and of course, the Hot Wheels. There was nothing better to me than knowing that I would get a new track to put together or a new car. As I've matured, so have the presents. the Alinea cookbook is like a sacred document I look at it often and it always amazes me. Thank you for inventing "Grandma's Orange Stuffing" Its always my favorite part of the Thanksgiving feast. (Way better than dad's) Although this poem isn't very poem-y I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your life. You're the only real grandparent I ever had, and I love you with all my heart. Thank you for all you've done.
