"superhuman" poems
Superhuman in this skin Red-lipped smile sweetly (but beware teeth beneath) I'm Sweet Siren Song And I won't be long left within this mediocre maniverse Pretty porn-portrait perfect (But there's no staples lacerating this muffin top) Withstand this cosmetic culture curse Bedspread silky sodden sheets Writhing within nightmare glare silicon butterfly spiked beauty ages anyway Go away, I'm finished. I MEAN IT! Fucknuts (I guess Fucknuts isn't an advertiseable commodity. What's with the cheap advertising links in my poetry!) bedspread. ****

Sweet Siren Song
I want to be available to the people who love me. I want to be there emotionally, physically, financially. I want to be their shoulder their crutch, their solace. The person who does not drop anything. I want to give the feeling of lightness to every being walking this earth. Every human, creature, and plant as they grow up fast. I want to be nutrition, a steadfast superhuman so unfazed, so cool-headed. It infuriates me that I'm not this person. It should be so easy to give. If I just get my **** together, I've repeated on and off again the last five years. But somehow, I always manage to waste enough time to get there, but late. When I have nothing left, a hollow person someone gave too many tries. Still, the people I love tell me I'm wise, an angel body. Like they must justify, who I am, the imposter the transient, always planning, for when she can run away again.

Transient
(Pompeii/Florence, 1997) Vulcan was real, alive as you were, you and your language, long dead now. Your town was prosperous, with its paved streets, bars, bath-houses, brothels, mosaics, painted walls, graffiti. Your domestic gods too were real to you; they had saved you before, and when the superhuman hammer blows shook your houses, you repaired them, decorated in greater splendour, erected a temple to your protectors. But Vulcan was not appeased - years are not long to the lord of earth and fire. This time he struck swiftly, sending you death from his mountain, overwhelming you as you ran. Your garden gave you no protection, hot fumes choked you, hot ash surrounded you, sealed in your tomb as you died. The ones who excavated your town marvelled at its completeness, and in the ash that filled your garden they found hollows. Filling the hollows with plaster, they found . . . not you, but echoes of yourselves, like statues in a museum. We came to see you, and after that to the Academy, standing in awe at David's perfect marble humanity. But we were troubled by the others, the uncompleted ones, the Prisoners, their twisted limbs, hidden faces, frozen in the act of emerging from the stone, recalling too painfully in their unfinished creation your own agonised poses as you died. *"I had seen birth and death,   but had thought they were different."* .

Garden of the Fugitives **
therapy and resistance how is it that therapy becomes the excess of class war or the oppression thereof? When the struggle of the individual is made to seem self induced when it is easily and clearly directly a result of the failures and complacence afforded by the majority of the group. When in a therapeutic environment it is important to distinguish the opportunities of resistance from the experience of trauma. there has always been individuals who establish groups that are in a realm of desperation. Understanding how this process has unfolded institutionally is just as valid as treating the individual. This gives the individual the choice and resources needed to heal. The healing could look like resistance rather than assuming aspects of class war or oppressive culture to be normal. Otherwise therapy is nothing but the means to normalize the process of oppression. The traumatic state needs to be able to decipher its organic existence from that of organized oppression and its institutional cooperation. the neglect of deciphering or distinguishing these differences causes individuals to make a competition out of trauma. This minimizes certain trauma of individuals and causes the group to have less of an opportunity to resist organized oppression of the institution. Those that are in the realm of desperation or traumatic state are given no choice but to repress in order to continue being social or a member of the group. in excess the hierarchies of gender, race and class are reinforced to an almost superhuman level. To the desperate or traumatic state… what needs reinforcement is that there are humans just like us who have resisted oppression and caused the normalcy of the group to be more inclusive and aware of the processes associated with organized oppression.

The tractor stands frozen - an agony To think of. All night Snow packed its open entrails. Now a head-pincering gale, A spill of molten ice, smoking snow, Pours into its steel. At white heat of numbness it stands In the aimed hosing of ground-level fieriness. It defied flesh and won't start. Hands are like wounds already Inside armour gloves, and feet are unbelievable As if the toe-nails were all just torn off. I stare at it in hatred. Beyond it The copse hisses - capitulates miserably In the fleeing, failing light. Starlings, A dirtier sleetier snow, blow smokily, unendingly, over Towards plantations Eastward. All the time the tractor is sinking Through the degrees, deepening Into its hell of ice. The starting lever Cracks its action, like a snapping knuckle. The battery is alive - but like a lamb Trying to nudge its solid-frozen mother - While the seat claims my buttock-bones, bites With the space-cold of earth, which it has joined In one solid lump. I squirt commercial sure-fire Down the black throat - it just coughs. It ridicules me - a trap of iron stupidity I've stepped into. I drive the battery As if I were hammering and hammering The frozen arrangement to pieces with a hammer And it jabbers laughing pain-crying mockingly Into happy life. And stands Shuddering itself full of heat, seeming to enlarge slowly Like a demon demonstrating A more-than-usually-complete materialization - Suddenly it jerks from its solidarity With the concrete, and lurches towards a stanchion Bursting with superhuman well-being and abandon Shouting Where Where? Worse iron is waiting. Power-lift kneels Levers awake imprisoned deadweight, Shackle-pins bedded in cast-iron cow-shit. The blind and vibrating condemned obedience Of iron to the cruelty of iron, Wheels screeched out of their night-locks - Fingers Among the tormented Tonnage and burning of iron Eyes Weeping in the wind of chloroform And the tractor, streaming with sweat, Raging and trembling and rejoicing.

I'm too despressed to notice I'm stressed out Suppressed emotions inside, shouldn't let out Seeing is believing but what I see isn't real I am forced to accept these "realities" and ignore the way I feel I don't mean to sadden, entertain, bore, or aggravate, For a decade I find that this is how I communicate The only way I can precisely speak out on the unhealthy pleasures As the chemicals of my brain, they fornicate These levels of relationships aren't supposed to be It'll **** me sometime later, look at how it has ruined my personality Seeing is believing, but you won't believe what I see How can I act 'normal' when you won't acknowledge I can't do 'human being' My animalistic compulsions are fuelled by my failing brain functions Don't get too close cause I'll try to bite, I sympathise for your flesh when I malfuntion Don't be scared, I'm not canibalistic, I just like to use my teeth Humans scare me, I must defend myself, uh, I mean, to smile and eat I'm not afraid to say it, but I'm scared when I'm saying it, I have to say I have been observing your mundane human actions, I really don't want to be put away I always feel foreign, alienated, out-of-place But because I'm "considerate," I have to bite my tongue to save me some face I'm too stressed out to notice that I'm depressed Wanting mental soundessnes, yes, peace, my hallucinations don't give me rest My taughts speed down their highway, my delusions are always a-fest They inflict beneath my exterior, but for the public eye, I wear a crest "I wear my skin well, don't you think?" I lie, becuase it ill-fits I am totally normal, "I'm fine." Can't change the fact I'm a misfit. The beams that bear my bag of meat rust and thus begin to weaken The lethal sagging's caused by the mental luggage, I'm not heard, even though I'm speaking Many persons think that I'm overly paranoid, I must admit, that I am You would be the same way too, if about your health, no one ever gives a **** Help doesn't come, because their 'laters' always becomes 'nevers' I am not that superhuman, can't keep myself together, forever They claim that they would help me, some way, somehow, but their actions never initiate Someday, sometime, it would all be over, through a thorough death physical or mental Oh yes, I'm still believing, you can't accuse me of not having faith. I look forward to my healing, but all the while, my brain chemicals fornicate.

America The Picture Postcard
We were all saddened to hear of the death this week of one of our hardest working citizens. Someone else. When Someone else died it created a huge void in our community that will be difficult to fill. Someone else was with us for many years. Someone else always did far more than a normal persons share of the work. Whenever there was a job to do, overtime to pull or a meeting to attend, one name was always on everyone's lips. "Let Someone else do it". Whenever there was a need everyone just assumed that Someone else would volunteer. It was common knowledge that Someone else was the hardest worker in our neighborhood. Someone else was a wonderful person who often appeared superhuman. In all honesty, everyone expected to much of someone else. So now that Someone else is gone. What will happen to our schools, our children, our churches, our community? Someone else left us a marvelous example for us to follow. But now who is going to do the work Someone else did? Will it be you. Or will it be Someone else. R. Mendoza

In loving memory of Someone else.
1197 I should not dare to be so sad So many Years again— A Load is first impossible When we have put it down— The Superhuman then withdraws And we who never saw The Giant at the other side Begin to perish now.

I should not dare to be so sad
She gives him his eyes, she found them Among some rubble, among some beetles He gives her her skin He just seemed to pull it down out of the air and lay it over her She weeps with fearfulness and astonishment She has found his hands for him, and fitted them freshly at the wrists They are amazed at themselves, they go feeling all over her He has assembled her spine, he cleaned each piece carefully And sets them in perfect order A superhuman puzzle but he is inspired She leans back twisting this way and that, using it and laughing Incredulous Now she has brought his feet, she is connecting them So that his whole body lights up And he has fashioned her new hips With all fittings complete and with newly wound coils, all shiningly oiled He is polishing every part, he himself can hardly believe it They keep taking each other to the sun, they find they can easily To test each new thing at each new step And now she smoothes over him the plates of his skull So that the joints are invisible And now he connects her throat, her ******* and the pit of her stomach With a single wire She gives him his teeth, tying the the roots to the centrepin of his body He sets the little circlets on her fingertips She stiches his body here and there with steely purple silk He oils the delicate cogs of her mouth She inlays with deep cut scrolls the nape of his neck He sinks into place the inside of her thighs So, gasping with joy, with cries of wonderment Like two gods of mud Sprawling in the dirt, but with infinite care They bring each other to perfection.

I Am No Superman
In this mist I can't quite see my edges properly I'm coping on the level of both rational and almost raving and I want to shine which isn't much, just a firefly light but I'm in the midst of susurration and they're not gentle, and there's no calming breeze to carry me because my wings have been closed for a long time and I can only beg but to whom? It doesn't feel sincere when I'm not even sure But I promise that I mean it because these tears aren't for my own benefit they are to show you that I've still a little fight left enough to wrap myself in Because now, I'm only fighting for myself Although I was always told to upraise the ones reaching and I'm not content, I am trying and I need a transformation but I can't croak out "Save me". Even as I dangle over this puddle, and I work up courage courage to find your ears in hopes that you'll hear me, I also know I'm losing strength becoming heavier I am certain that I'm now too heavy for you, I will pull you with me so I will wait longer searching the mist for someone with superhuman strength and I will grow more tired until that hand comes and discovers that my weight it otherworldly, now and they will have to choose if I am worth the struggle. The devil will hope to cheat but God's Will decides.

Stuck in the Mist
When I have a yen to sin , I do it with my unbounded pen. Thick black ink turns blood, spills in a mysterious patterns, And it simultaneously writes my own redemption. My spirit undergoes a transformation,sings freedom song. In this unreal plane of my action, I become  superhuman. Every word that swims in the deluge of emotions quickly, Sends SOSs, incessant, demanding sublimation.It's done. I pay heed and then find,  I am in the word's possession. That decides, what would be my next course of action. I stay firmly put between agitating emotions and imagination.

The palais de justice of chambermaids Tops the horizon with its colonnades. If it were lost in Ubermenschlichkeit, Perhaps our wretched state would soon come right. For somehow the brave dicta of its kings Make more awry our faulty human things.

The Surprises Of The Superhuman
Spanish Su idilio fue una larga sonrisa a cuatro labios… En el regazo cálido de rubia primavera Amáronse talmente que entre sus dedos sabios Palpitó la divina forma de la Quimera. En los palacios fúlgidos de las tardes en calma Hablábanse un lenguaje sentido como un lloro, Y se besaban hondo hasta morderse el alma!… Las horas deshojáronse como flores de oro, Y el Destino interpuso sus dos manos heladas… Ah! los cuerpos cedieron, mas las almas trenzadas Son el más intrincado nudo que nunca fue… En lucha con sus locos enredos sobrehumanos Las Furias de la vida se rompieron las manos Y fatigó sus dedos supremos Ananké… English Their idyll was a smile of four lips… In the warm lap of blond spring They loved such that between their wise fingers the divine form of Chimera trembled. In the glimmering palaces of quiet afternoons They spoke in a language heartfelt as weeping, And they kissed each other deeply, biting the soul! The hours fluttered away like petals of gold, Then Fate interposed its two icy hands… Ah! the bodies yielded, but tangled souls Are the most intricate knot that never unfolds… In strife with its mad superhuman entanglements, Life’s Furies rent their coupled hands And wearied your powerful fingers, Ananké*… *Ananké: Goddess (Greek) of Unalterable Necessity

El Nudo (The Knot)
HERE at right of the entrance this bronze head, Human, superhuman, a bird's round eye, Everything else withered and mummy-dead. What great tomb-haunter sweeps the distant sky (Something may linger there though all else die;) And finds there nothing to make its tetror less Hysterica passio of its own emptiness? No dark tomb-haunter once; her form all full As though with magnanimity of light, Yet a most gentle woman; who can tell Which of her forms has shown her substance right? Or maybe substance can be composite, profound McTaggart thought so, and in a breath A mouthful held the extreme of life and death. But even at the starting-post, all sleek and new, I saw the wildness in her and I thought A vision of terror that it must live through Had shattered her soul. Propinquity had brought Imagiation to that pitch where it casts out All that is not itself: I had grown wild And wandered murmuring everywhere, "My child, my child! ' Or else I thought her supernatural; As though a sterner eye looked through her eye On this foul world in its decline and fall; On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry, Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty, Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave, And wondered what was left for massacre to save.

A Bronze Head
I love your sensitivity nurture it, it's a treasure like a superhuman power said noone to anybody ever You're upset oh no- I must fix this- you're broken, please don't cry these tears make me uncomfortable supress them, make them dry A perfectly natural display of normal human behaviour is seen by some as weak too feminine, a problem, a failure Stop being so ****** sensitive they're just animals, killed for us now eat up all your diner and stop making such a fuss Don't question, object or argue just nod, agree and grin there's no place for emotional outbursts in the society we're in It seems sometimes today with all this mad confusion in a world of talking robots we've forgotten that we're human Yes I want to notice a smartly-dressed pensioner alone by a train, to image how it feels feel his wisdom, feel his pain because to feel a pull of emotion glancing at a passing strangers eyes is neither a weakness nor a hinderance but a blessing in disguise ~

I was deep in the land of shadows Halfway between the living and dead In the awful silence of void The atmospheres soft And it’s people plastic Mephistophelean and astute When a band of ruffians stormed The inferno beneath With volcanic tremor Sweeping down like a tidal wave Of so terrific Tsunamic magnitude Spurning all restraint Slowed down my pace By reciprocal math of wizardly Substituting the direct proportion for inverse I dragged and they almost flew Corpsic form and tattered cloth Is all I see and Gaping mouth oozing blood Grotesque creatures tinting hell After me and almost done I should out loud voiceless I reach for the nothingness And there’s no thing I stretch still to scale it down Wishing I had wings And take flight Or superhuman like Superman Hopping I possessed metaphysical force Like the Matrix upgrade version To disembody and dematerialize And so vanish into stillness To hang in space out of sight By the trickery of magic To cast spell like lady of the Voodoo And freeze plant herbage and the human Instantly and give a diabolic glean Make a catwalk of villain trump To the disgust of victim And ultimate flown of the gods That hardly smile anyway But I am human and my powers feeble My infinity lies bound within Time and daylight The parameters of finite In a rat race so unfair Distances too close and defeat too plain I die out and awoke within To brace another day with headache Devil, I escaped Gehenna That gives me surety I will outpace you For what I saw when I slept Hail Tartarus I am Morpheus

Your door is shut against my tightened face, And I am sharp as steel with discontent; But I possess the courage and the grace To bear my anger proudly and unbent. The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet, A chafing savage, down the decent street; And passion rends my vitals as I pass, Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass. Oh, I must search for wisdom every hour, Deep in my wrathful ***** sore and raw, And find in it the superhuman power To hold me to the letter of your law! Oh, I must keep my heart inviolate Against the potent poison of your hate.

The White House
I can’t make out what he’s saying Why is he speaking so slow? A drug coursing through my veins? I want to retort But, this lengthy pause in my throat…. When will my first syllables reach the air around me? Is it air that surrounds me? I can’t feel it on my skin, my face The sky appears to be motionless How long as it been since the clouds moved? It’s been months, no, years, Centuries since I felt my heartbeat So much time to think, to dream, I can’t remember the last time I took a breath Am I still exhaling? Am I even? I feel old Far older than I was when this battle began As old as time itself He tricked me, it wasn’t supposed to be like this How long has it been since his blade pierced my arm? When will I feel the pain from this razor’s edge on my palm? How much longer before it reaches my heart? I can’t take it anymore! **** you, Stop torturing me! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry up and **** me!

Superhuman potion (Inspired by bleach)
There are Angels among us Metaphorical Angels They have no wings to fly No superhuman powers to call upon And no ability to remain unseen They dance to the tune of human need Become a crescendo in this dark time She leaves her little one asleep at dawn With aching heart and weary eyes For even Angels tire out She enters Hell where monsters roam Little creatures with verocious appetite Leaving lungs and lamenting in their path She stands her ground and grapples fear For even angels are in need of courage She gathers the sweat and blood and tears of strangers And soothes them to life or death Yet while she suffocates in misery and mask Selfishness abounds outside And those restrained insist on fun They gather together in revelry Kissing flesh and adoring sun She sees them on the nightly news While she strokes her daughters brow And comforts her with unfulfillable promises Yet though they have the right to be free They make her burden heavy and sad With more victims for her ordeal Yes, they have the right to take the loaded gun To play roulette with their stubborn lives Yet when the game involves warheads and virus They invite death for others too Who did not choose to enter the deadly casino For even angels die!

Where Angels Fear To Tread
Every time I wake up I feel phenomenal, Like the rarest of the rare, I feel like I can save the world, If I put my mind to it, I know superman ain't got nothing on me. They say the mind is a powerful thing, Once we use it we can break the walls and surpass the sky, So I guess that's why they blindfold us. I knew I was born an Einstein, But they used education to limit us. But still Superman ain't got nothing on me. I know I am mighty, strong, Never go down without a fight. Confidence level so-so, World I hope you are ready, Someone is coming, Someone who can break the boundaries, Surpass the stars, No, I am not Superman, But I can be superhuman.                        Jonesy 2016 ©

Superman
The unpurged images of day recede; The Emperor's drunken soldiery are abed; Night resonance recedes, night walkers' song After great cathedral gong; A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains All that man is, All mere complexities, The fury and the mire of human veins. Before me floats an image, man or shade, Shade more than man, more image than a shade; For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-cloth May unwind the winding path; A mouth that has no moisture and no breath Breathless mouths may summon; I hail the superhuman; I call it death-in-life and life-in-death. Miracle, bird or golden handiwork, More miracle than bird or handiwork, Planted on the star-lit golden bough, Can like the ***** of Hades crow, Or, by the moon embittered, scorn aloud In glory of changeless metal Common bird or petal And all complexities of mire or blood. At midnight on the Emperor's pavement flit Flames that no ****** feeds, nor steel has lit, Nor storm disturbs, flames begotten of flame, Where blood-begotten spirits come And all complexities of fury leave, Dying into a dance, An agony of trance, An agony of flame that cannot singe a sleeve. Astraddle on the dolphin's mire and blood, Spirit after Spirit! The smithies break the flood. The golden smithies of the Emperor! Marbles of the dancing floor Break bitter furies of complexity, Those images that yet Fresh images beget, That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea.

Loving you would not only satisfy my heart, But it would also quench the inner thirst of my soul, Yes it is my milk shake and my sugarcane juice. Loving you can not only help me live longer, But it brings the sweetest changes in my bitter life, Yes it is bringing you to my me my future wife. Loving you won't just be a reason to be proud, But it will bring me the actual family of my own, Yes it is going to be a story worth remembering.
