"tees" poems
I'd like to think that she's thinking: "How far have I fallen?" As she sits on the corner of her bed, Listening to the soft buzz of his battery-powered toothbrush. I imagine her, Running her fingers through her clumsy, coagulated hair. Glancing at her chipped, crimson toe nails, Then looking to her class ring, Made entirely of imitation ingredients, Wondering when is the proper time to trash it. When she was still a friend of mine, I never saw her wear make up, I never saw her show off in tight jeans or low-cut tees. But as he spews the toothpaste into the sink, Skinny jeans lay tussled on the floor, Next to the side door that leads to his sister's side room. The make up she wears is from the night before. It's skewed and shows evidence of running, Like a wasted watercolor. I'd like to think he isn't that handsome, And that he's obsessed with Paul Walker. I'd like to think when he re-enters the room, He's in grey sweatpants, He's wearing a black tank top, With a Confederate flag backdrop, With two barely dressed babes looking ****** in the foreground. His hair, unwashed and greasy. He rubs his belly, And bears an idiot grin on his face. Looking like he just learned how to smile at this pace. "Did it feel good?" feel good. After he asks, he scans her body, Beginning at those crimson toes, And Ending at that clumsy hair. Every second he scans, He still wears that drawn-on Idiot grin. I'd like to think at this point she thinks of me. Of my warnings and prophesy. Her eyes start at the chipped toe nails, Course over her tanning bed-inspired legs. And finally reach the only thing she has on, A t-shirt that belongs to his sister. A t-shirt, when given by him, It was mentioned, "thanks, mister". Though she didn't satisfy all his redneck intentions, During last night's expedition. He still paid her back with a morning one-sided session. "It felt good" she says. In reference to the ten minute ********** When her body was strummed and plucked, Underneath his sister's Terri Clark T-shirt. As she sits in the filth and the ****** fallout, On a bed that is six days ***** While he is grinning, Being everything but wordy. I'd like to think she's thinking: "How far have I fallen?"

She was a Friend of Mine

#***All through the summer Little brother trees And The gusty Big sister breeze Played in the sun They had ample fun The little boy trees, wore a dusty crust And shower, they must Lest their leaves, yellowed Transpire to rustle in summer heat A drizzle nor a sprinkle Mother rain Chose to shower The mode she set to power Drenched and dripping wet The little boy trees with trembling leaves, sneezed The cool Big sister breeze Lovingly caressed And blow dried The little brothers trees Fresh and perfumed The little boy trees Stood tall in trousers brown And Lovely, minty green tees***#

The Cleansing Shower
Avuncular in his style, jolly and loud An epiphany with an entourage Of functionaries who survey the crowd For any lack of enthusiasm Applaud they must, wearing upon command Cheap slogan tees averring that their school Is like totally awesome and ‘way cool They leap and bounce and cheer as they are told Chanting a theme, this year’s predictable theme Desperately cute, a motivational meme - Oh, those childish, subservient creatures! The worst part is that they are the                                                                    teachers

Dear Leader Inspires His Obedient Comrades
i am monday nights filled with candlelit journal entries and sipping hot tea while watching rain bounce off the roof and open windows in autumn and messy hand- written letters and white tees and cuffed jeans and pb&j; with the crust cut off and folded origami cranes and watching the sun rise while everyone else is tucked away in their beds and midnight car rides and candid smiles and lists written in blue ink and wildflowers and mountains and birds singing and books and movies that make you cry and nicknames and flannels in the winter and soft music and loud music and moments recorded only by memory and pumpkin pie and forever stamps i am all the little things and if you don’t make an effort to understand why i love all the things i love you will never understand me

My gorilla wears tennis shoes He reads the paper and sings the blues My gorilla, my gorilla My gorilla, he's a sensitive guy I took him out for a wedding, and man did he cry! Tears all down his tie Well, he can drive most greens from the back tees But his putting brings him to his knees My gorilla, my gorilla My gorilla loves pork and beans He rides a scooter in his cut-off jeans My gorilla, my gorilla He can make a mean souffle He's great with omelets, but his specialty is flambe So I eat one every day! He's been working hard on a half pike But his cannonball empties the pool My gorilla, my gorilla My gorilla is so much fun He buys taquitos for everyone My gorilla, my gorilla My gorilla loves tequila with lime He's taking classes at a school for mime Cracks me up every time! Well, he's looking cool in his "white face" And his French beret looks oh so fine My gorilla, my gorilla Oh yeah...

The old order changeth, yielding place to new -Tennyson, Idylls of the King Like dinosaurs our institutions gasp In spasms of existential death; they pass At first unnoticed by the casual unobserver Who trips over a covenant that isn’t there If you vote they give you a sticker The ephemeral Constitution changed Like sweaty skivvies by each president Law libraries catalogued for pulp By obedient functionaries in tees If you vote they give you a sticker The faithful escorted out of the cathedral By a bored security guard on overtime The altar linens for sale at Goodwill And the sanctuary repurposed on T.V. If you vote they give you a sticker Some of The Just Plain Folks cheer for the Reds And the others cheer only for the Blues As the reincarnation of Jack Chick Blesses their four-wheelers and plastic caps If you vote they give you a sticker Election placards on abandoned buildings Promise again prosperity for all The **** lab cooks behind The Kute Kidz Private Academy of the Dance and Math If you vote they give you a sticker An outreach of the Bright Light Free Will Missionary Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ Of the Lamb Sanctified 501C The Reverend Doctor Master Bishop Billy-Bob Hairdo PhD, DD a-brangin’ Messages and His Esteemed Lady Apostle Heather If you vote they give you a sticker And blessed be the Holy AR-15 God gave to His People to defend themselves Here in the freest country in the world Which you can find behind the barbed-wire fence If you vote they give you a sticker While fleets of luxury presidential jets Arc high over our public housing projects Reminding us of our prosperity Here in the richest country in the world If you vote they give you a sticker And them Jews for Jesus I guess they’re all right But them other Jews they just ain’t no good Nor them Cath’lics nor them Mormons neither And don’t you get me started on them Baptists (We seem to have been otherwise engaged) “The old order changeth, yielding place to new” – (But neither cares at all for me or you) But if you vote they give you a sticker

Tadly's Taco
My darling girl You're not happy with yourself, It begins to affect your mental health My darling girl You lose weight ******** and then your concert tees don't fit anymore My darling girl You say that you want to heal But how then? If you cannot feel. My darling girl I have nothing left to fear For you my dear, a silent tear.

Anorexia
You hate my printed tees and high top shoes, you disapprove that I still wear my toque in June. Always saying that I ruin the plot too soon. You don’t know your worth, you are my Earth my sun and my moon. It’s how you get my smile to touch my cheek, and the way you get my knees feeling weak. The ten things that you hate about me, are outnumbered by the things you’re loving. You hate my shark shorts even though they’re cozy, you can look past it because you’re the only one who truly knows me. I’m tripping on words, the ones you prefer because you know I’m clumsy. You say I’m too loud, or my head in a cloud, but the way that I feel I’m always showing. It’s the way that you look me right in my eyes, and how you still manage to give me butterflies. The ten things that you hate about me, are outshined by the things you’re seeing. You hate when my hair gets too long, and when my cologne smells too strong. You hate when I exaggerate during fights and when I snore during late nights. Just the way that our fingers interlace, and how you get that look on your face. The ten things that you hate about me, are just quirks, you’re making it work, as you still get to know me.

Ten things you hate about me
Do not utter a syllable For the reaper lurks at the door Dim the lights as our eyes are widened   Sit in a desperate, huddled mass Feel the shivering, helpless creature on the left Hear my traitorous lungs exhaling, surrendering my position My heart pounding, screaming at my body Ordering me to run, to fight, to **** "Do not go gentle into that good night," As Dylan Thomas so elegantly stated Yet it is not a time for romantic visions of heroism Beowulf's idealism will not save us here Sobbing, shivering, ***** stained American Eagle Sweat drenched Under Amour Tees and hoodies Feet ironically quivering in red and orange Nike Shocks A 243 pound lineman blubbering under his breath He wants his mother, his daddy, his pillow, to go home Another boy, Darrel, clenches his fists, readies for attack Cassidy sits silently, emotionless, statuesque, frozen in time And I . . . What do I do? . . . What do I do? Do I flinch like Sir Gawain in the face of death? Or do I . . . . . . What do I do? God, may I never discover the answer to this evil query God help us stop the violence consuming innocent children Render CODE RED obsolete Yet, CODE RED will parish not For society feeds on fictional fame Fifteen minutes that Warhol never could have painted Now it will be duplicated like so many Campbell's Soup cans CODE RED    CODE RED    CODE RED   CODE RED   And . . . What will I do? What will I do?

I used to be a golfer once But, now I am a hack I swing around a waist of jello I only play the middle tees I used to play the back I only use ***** that are yellow My game is up on the shelf I don't know why And I only play golf by myself It's no lie I wish I still could play, I wish that I could play I wish that I could play, someone else I used to have a short game once I used be real good (Where do you think you might have lost it?) I used to have no fear at all I knew all that I should (Is it with your sand wedge, where you tossed it?) My game is up on the shelf I don't know why And I only play golf by myself It's no lie I wish I still could play, I wish that I could play I wish that I could play, someone else I used to split the fairways boys I used to sink the putts (What ever happened to the feeling?) I can't hit a **** fairway now I only hit wide cuts (It's enough to send my mindset reeling) My game is up on the shelf I don't know why And I only play golf by myself It's no lie I wish I still could play, I wish that I could play I wish that I could play, someone else Now, I am afraid most days I can't hit it off the ground I only hit well when I drink some I know each tree out on our course I know the ball hits tree bark sound I only play good when I've got *** My game is up on the shelf I don't know why And I only play golf by myself It's no lie I wish I still could play, I wish that I could play I wish that I could play, someone else I used to be a golfer once I wish I still could play I wish so hard for that sweet feeling I once was good But not today If I could find Diablo, I'd be dealing But, my game is up on the shelf And it's funny How, I play only by myself No money I wish that I could play I wish that I could play I wish that I could play like myself

I couldn't tell you how many poems I've read about girls in disguises, girls hiding in their closets, girls acting like girls, wishing they were something more... This is not a poem about wishing, but a poem of being. This is not a cry for help, but a song of assurance. I am a girl, but I am no feminist. You won't find me painting on makeup each morning for confident clarity. {red blemishes flourish} You won't find me tearing my feet up each night to look tall and fancy. {bruises on the heel} You won't find me wearing a red push-up bra for emotional support. {endless back pain} You won't find me shaking while holding a gun for protection. {fear is stupidity} I couldn't tell you how many girls I've seen doing these things, over and over; girls wishing they were something more... This is not a poem about hope, but a form of being. This is not a scream of pity, but an equalist view. I am a girl, but I am no feminist. I choose to be myself, despite the boys who call me odd; despite the girls with envious eyes. I choose to play video games at 2am and eat until I feel sick. I choose to wear band tees to the bar and go home alone. I choose to say what I mean and suffer the consequences. I choose to wear less clothes, and sometimes more, when I want. I've found someone who loves me for who I am. I've found two people, in fact. There is a boy who comes over and I can call him my love; I can call him my best friend. There is a boy who never judges the boy in me; the things I do. There is a boy who reminds me a lot of a girl, who picked flowers with her mom when she was little. And sometimes, I put on makeup for you, because I love you, and I want you to know I'm proud. Sometimes, I'm proud of myself, because I got the eye liner just right. And sometimes, I like acting fragile so I can do less work and watch as you tire in sweat. Sometimes, I even shout my worries to the sky. But moderation is so important in a time so rigid with lust. There is a girl who is me, and that boy and that girl both know who I am. I am sick of complaints; I am sick of the 1950's attitude; I am sick of excuses; I want to see action; and I don't mean a protest. And maybe you like being a girl. Maybe you dress up purely for yourself, and no one else. But that doesn't explain the things that you say in public and in retrospect, as tears fall down your cheek, and knives glide off your tongue. I see more of it every day -- girls just like me. You are only weak if you believe that you are. You are only a girl if you think that you are. I am a human being, and so are you. I am no feminist.

I can tell I'm depressed When I don't take the laundry Out of the washer, Where it has been cleansed of its sins Of passion, or rage, of greasy fast food. My filthy hands would ruin them. So I wait for my roommate To baptize his own spotless hands With MY damp boxers. The habitual thuds of my soggy clothes Against the back of the dryer Are a nice distraction. My favorite flannel dances With her tiny lost sock. But 45 minutes isn't enough. I don't want to end their fun, So I leave them there And hope that they'll fuse forever. He tosses the clothes onto my floor, Scattering them, wrinkling them, freeing them. Corduroys atop henleys under crew socks and tees. Folding them would be a waste Of a catastrophic masterpiece.

Laundry
It's a take-your-top-off Kind of day And I'm getting naked In the backyard Merle Haggard rambling Feverishly in my mind I'm letting the sun Get a little frisky Kiss me anywhere it wishes And the lilacs whisper Fragrance There's a new cadence of Grasshopper sounds I'm gonna change things I'm gonna be that girl That everybody falls in love with Everybody knows her name Dark-skinned All muscle All smiles Living life outside Kissing all the boys And making them cry Living life famously Shamelessly Physically With a closet full of jorts and cut-off tees I'm gonna be that girl Because It's a take-your-top-off Kind of day And I'm already naked I'm a wild mustang I've got nothing To lose but my shirt and my inhibitions

The 29-year-old actress - who is known for her curvaceous figure - was keen to design the collection after struggling to find "cool" and "affordable" plus-size clothing herself. She said: "I've had a torrid affair with buying clothes all my life. "I've never really felt like there's a brand out there in the plus-size world that is creating cool stuff, that fits well and is good quality yet affordable. So it was awesome to team with Torrid, who I think are doing such a great job in making plus-size fashion relevant and dope. "I've been loving designing the clothes for my capsule collection. I've been putting my unique style and personal loves into the clothing and literally can't wait for the collection to launch!" Rebel recently confessed she was encouraged to try her hand at design after realising her fashion choices had started having an impact on her fans. She told Elle magazine: "It's becoming important for me. I saw a lot of girls were beginning to notice what I wear and I feel a kind of responsibility, because there aren't any women in Hollywood my size and age."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/short-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-2015

Any brighter and streams in the ditches would look like Cuyahoga River across Cleveland during the 1960's There is no fire, only flies who make bright their bellies and flash for show like the perverts in metropolitan inner city parks Enticed to the flies, like moths to the ceiling globes, we gather jars and lids with air holes hammered hard No walking as we streak along gravel roads built after WWII when rationing was lifted and road speeds jumped Flies caught one by one are smashed on white tees, luminous signals for drivers alert to the folly of our play Our madness endures until Ball  jars become dim lanterns of joy for us and jail for the bugs doomed to die before daybreak until swept from the garage floor as we plot our assault on airborne glimmers along tonight's roadsides

Dim Lanterns of Joy
i used to sleep on my stomach when it was upset, now i smoke these cigarettes to fill the void of a little boy destroyed, you say we are friends though no response to text messages, statuses of shut up, your words are all hogwash its true, i don't love any woman by you, though the search continues and i've tried other venues, the only place i should be is your room. i put my heart in an ice box because of you, our love was once fresh as morning dew and my heart has always been gold, though it may seem freeze dried and stone, i'm used to this feeling of alone, your arms should've always been my home, your words are all hogwash, and all of my heart left is blue. i remember the day that i knew, hey you began exercise, ***** you can't run from the truth. Alabama slammers need slow vermouth, through all of the drugs we've consumed, and all of the stunts with your crew, i can't feel for another there's no other woman but you. Josh and i go hunting for cheek, see a foxy lady and yell, 'juice' can't help but think of brownies and knowing Kristen Stewart was doomed, my heart it only beats for you, i know it sounds sad but its true. to all of the hearts that i've harmed, i never lied and said i was in love, though thats what i wanted and i'm so, so sorry, i can not forget her, brown eyes are all similar, i should hide my poetry, words sometimes come to me, without any sympathy yours cut right into me, like that of a guillotine, intent for a head off of me, i never thought harm to you, might of lost my temper for that i am sorry, dried all of my tears on tees from salvation army, hey you seem to blame just me, but did you watch the tapes on the TV screen? im not sure but maybe that might be why i still love her, no you're not ready to be a mother, we could have been family, just leaning, waiting for you to come back to me, god ****** lower cased, your crooked lower teeth, i want my tongue inside of your cheeks, but you'll never know until you read, all these things i've wrote since you left me, this all sounds so self-centered, that was never me, anything i did wrong was not make you happy cause that's always what i want to see, maybe when i'm the man i am supposed to be, cooking, tennis, teaching anarchy, your words are all hogwash, my eyes are all that you need.

I am a murderer. Clenching my fists, I made a bed And killed myself in it. Sheets that once held goodnight kisses And rosy morning cheeks Fell victim to restless legs, Twisted in agony. I am a hunter. Following my own track marks, I shot myself down. I kissed each vein With the tongue of a syringe And purged its belly Until a brown river Emptied into my blood. I am a dying woman. Hanging my heavy head Over crumpled green towel, I collapsed on a carpet covered in clothes That were hastily stripped off and tossed aside. I knelt amongst the tattered tees And the grass stained denim That reeked of slow defeat. I am a prisoner. Pulling my curly hair Taut in tired fists, I freed every bit from my scalp. Running blades across my skull, I nicked my tender skin Like dancing through a rose garden Until there was nothing left but raw flesh. I am a thief. Staring at a stranger’s reflection, I saw body bags beneath her eyes And lids that closed like coffins. A ghostly girl, A stolen soul, A blank mask, A hood of bone. ©Jenna Allie

And people stare At you in your band tees And me in my polka dots And they say How could they be happy They don't realize That when you leave I spend the night in that tee And listen to that band And I remember How you smelled How you smiled How you sang And ran And kissed me the day I fell in love with you. -CsR

Rue Bourbon Moment
Dia de Muertos in a Parking Lot 23 July 2017 The big trucks roll along the interstates And bear in their wombs the American soul: Made-in-China shoes, ‘phones, dolls, cartoon tees Scented soaps, baseball bats, and hipster hats And the dead. Disposable merchandise In the commerce of nations, the subjects Of learned discourse and bigoted rant Everyone in America wants to be famous Coyotes dispose of their human cargo And How easy for us to say we didn’t know

Death in a Parking Lot
I gave birth to my mother yesterday. *There she is- running around, laughing about- dead dolls in hand, yellow hairbands and blue tees.* Perhaps she was not mine to give birth to- perhaps I was hers. I had painkillers for breakfast. To-night, I dine on my mother's soul. I dined on whispers yester-night. To-night, I write the stories.

hey there drummer boy it’s only been a little over two years (yet it feels like so much longer) since we befriended and adopted you, creating a new musical fam and look at us now. same church same school, immense musical growth passion to worship, new adventures all year long, smiles and waves that remind me of deeper friendships that will stand the test of time. although sometimes i tease and laugh (and i sincerely mean no offense), see it’s really because i care and whether you like it or not, you’re like the twin brother i never had but secretly always wanted. one of my favorite drummers i easily follow your lead you are reliable. one of my closest friends i never have to worry you accept me for who i am. whether it’s the denim shirts and hipster boots or patagonia tees and baseball caps, when life gets crazy once again don’t forget that i’m always here; i got yo back brotha.
