Poetic Seduction
There is one thing that ought to be taught in all the colleges, Which is that people ought to be taught not to go around always making apologies. I don't mean the kind of apologies people make when they run over you or borrow five dollars or step on your feet, Because I think that is sort of sweet; No, I object to one kind of apology alone, Which is when people spend their time and yours apologizing for everything they own. You go to their house for a meal, And they apologize because the anchovies aren't caviar or the partridge is veal; They apologize privately for the crudeness of the other guests, And they apologize publicly for their wife's housekeeping or their husband's jests; If they give you a book by Dickens they apologize because it isn't by Scott, And if they take you to the theater, they apologize for the acting and the dialogue and the plot; They contain more milk of human kindness than the most capacious diary can, But if you are from out of town they apologize for everything local and if you are a foreigner they apologize for everything American. I dread these apologizers even as I am depicting them, I shudder as I think of the hours that must be spend in contradicting them, Because you are very rude if you let them emerge from an argument victorious, And when they say something of theirs is awful, it is your duty to convince them politely that it is magnificent and glorious, And what particularly bores me with them, Is that half the time you have to politely contradict them when you rudely agree with them, So I think there is one rule every host and hostess ought to keep with the comb and nail file and bicarbonate and aromatic spirits on a handy shelf, Which is don't spoil the denouement by telling the guests everything is terrible, but let them have the thrill of finding it out for themselves.

My mother should be an author She carves her soul into millions of pieces Leaving it behind all of the family photos When I see my mother I see a woman Who wants to hide her soul in a needle Just so the screaming can stop in her mind, These bottles are rattling in the living room You see they have put shackles on her heart, She can't love anymore Without having ***** in her water bottle. Where is she hiding her beer? I feel like my mother is giving me a scavenger hunt From the shards of glass that were left on the baseball fields My mother used to take me to. You know she always wasn't like this She was strong minded and had a big heart Tonight I will tell you the story of a woman Who lost her soul to the Keystones to the Miller Lites To the ****** Mary’s. Let's rewind time See how to **** the soul in ten years 10- I look into my mother's eyes and I start to cry Because I'm looking at a woman who I don't know anymore 9- I refused to bail her out of jail again Because I'm afraid her kidney will fail if she drinks again 8- My mother staggered into the theater and disrupted the whole play, My cast mates turned to me and asked, isn't that your mother? 7- I had to hold my mothers hand Because she was throwing up the cocktail of drugs and alcohol 6- Daddy had to get mom out of jail she was drinking again 5- My mother throws the bottle across the room And told me the reason why she drinks is because I'm Autistic 4- My mother overslept for my piano recital, I didn't think it was a big deal But I remember she spent the whole night crying With a wine glass in her hand. 3- Mommy I didn't know your prescription came in a needle 2- Mommy the prescription say 2 pills a day why are you taking 6? 1- My mother went to the doctor Found out that she has Rheumatoid Arthritis I don't know what that means, But I know she will still be strong right? 0- She took me to a Dodger game for my birthday. I remember Sammy Sosa hitting a home run that game She told me that the only person that can **** your soul is yourself

How To **** The Soul In 10 Years

The Violent Storm by the Water (Do You Trust Your Imagination) was not unexpected but its fury was without compare, poet awake in semi-preparation living by water should be a human right for all, even a small room, overlooking, gives new meaning to perspective we blessed with a patio door, encased in a glass window big enough for a smallish elephant to come visit and play with children a storm is observed up close and personal as if one was in an IMAX 3D  theater, and the edges of existence were being redefined, sharpened by fury, tooled by tools untouched by mortal hands miles of bay illuminated with bass drum furious accompaniment stand before the screen, poets arms outstretched as a supplicant, the light of the lightening passes through him, yet , behind me, she still sleeps then the entire house shakes, reverberates, as if to say: ”tremble humans, cower, you are not permitted to watch my majesty, for such it was when created heaven and earth” bold poet window worshipping risky answers: “but who will know if even a poet cannot declaim sights no one else has seen?” ”true, true, but you must choose if poet truly, do you trust your imagination human, to prove that the powers of the heavens are limitless?” write of storms unseen and nature endless miracles ***”then you may call yourself a miracle too, a poet***”

The Violent Storm by the Water (Do You Trust Your Imagination)
Its a scam, its a scam, see the Crimson Gang deftly scamming them They by sleight have befuddled gullible masses Moral Compass Made them see wrong as right twisting their brains from the stem With deceitful guile they shepherded them all to the fools' campus Slander and fake News galore fed to vacant hungry masses scrum Knowledge is power the reprobates declares, do not let it pass We're the majority the bullies screams, knowing they're just scums Worthless charlatans who rob successes and **** without cutlass They take a foregone conclusion and coat it with fool's gold crumb A victim with no intention of going after an uninterested lass Dumb masses fed fake news fooled into harassing actions dumb A non-event becomes a show of the controlling might of our class Crimson gangs interpret a non-events from his deluded sad drum Creates a warped sick drama round a hapless victim for laughs Gives street theater actions to masses, these will oppose and numb Whilst poor victim subjected to 'voiding' madness wonders past The Crimson leaders laugh so much like pirates drinking *** Look how we manipulate the masses, they are so simple and crass With our devious twisting propaganda they eat out of our *** We simply use them to nail and crucify our victim to the cross

Together We Stand......
Many times I get asked what anime is. I wear anime t-shirts, I watch it with glee, I fantasize about it and have conversations about it as well. I go to conventions, I discuss it with my friends nitpicking at strong foes, and I even supported toonami coming back. Yet this question of what anime is always makes me pause. What is anime? I always think about it and I am always unsure of it. It's almost like theaters and movies, anime has many genres such as drama, romance, and even tragedy. Yet sometimes people argue that anime is nothing more than a cartoon. I could say that cartoons are only meant for kids but anime includes that as well. I could say anime has different art styles, but the same could be said for cartoons as well. I could say anime is more Japanese oriented but anime has no limitations. People question it however the same could be said of theater. Why do people love tragedy? Why do people wish to see a girl die from cancer? Why do people wish to see a couple being put through a lot? Why do people enjoy death? Anime has many genres like theater, anime has death, tragedy, and yes even **** Do not judge anime by it's differences, do not say it's simply a cartoon. Because to some people it is their theater, their muse, their life, and their dreams and inspirations.

i used to climb the tallest tree just to leave behind the ground sing as loud as i could breathe about the shapes of passing clouds mum would haller up to the heavens:              "STOP IT !" ... "they’ll think you’re Mad!" ... whoever  "they"   were  (?)!     i naively pondered thence  ―     now,     the tree is gone,        "they" chopped  it            all the way down to memories and decomposing roots     but i still see life unspool     in the silent shapes of clouds                     and   hear the birds sing sweetly      without a single word ☁  ☁  ☁  ☁  ☼  ☁  ☁  ☁  ☁                    jesse

Theater of the Clouds
We share this theater together And watch the act patiently. We applaud those who perform well, And even louder and harder for those who only had the courage to try. We watch the dancers on the stage, Our youth on stage, Ourselves on stage. It is beautiful. It is raw. It is real. It is not perfect and some will fall, But we all feel together. We lift each other up. It is love. We are all together On the stage as actors, As graceful dancers, And brilliant musicians Performing as one. We are all connected In the audience as proud parents, As loving relatives, And respectful friends, Cheering as one. It is not perfect. It is life, Raw and real. Some will fall, But we all feel together And we’ll lift each other up As one. For ourselves, And for each other.

The Human Connection
Aren't they supposed to be people, too? Pigment is really that important? They are not ***** A separate restaurant, Drinking fountain, Theater, Bench, Everything! Because you can deal with "different" people. They had "rights," But if they were considered people, the segregation would not have happened. They had no choice. The conditions were worse. How is that fair? Hardly any jobs were open to them. And I know you know exactly what I am Talking about, but I never said once That almost everyone called them that one despicable word: ******

"Separate but Equal"
I. Neptune’s Theater A rock spins through the universal tumbler and its warm blue pools calcify as turquoise Neptune in his cloudy blue bath bath builds a lace castle with his fingertips Sculpts a submerged eden of crimson and emerald where painted parrots chat up cardinals butterfly and angel fry sway with wave pulse and foliated coral fingers beckon from arched windows. Neptune’s children are flat and bright, spined and notched free yet entangled in lace mesh ecosystem beneath an array of bioluminescent stars as a gangly pretender watches and blows bubbles. II. Sapien Siege The hot acidic hand of death grasps the mesh rends and tangles the ecosystem shattered reef’s loosed children scream beneath planet’s stars. Butterflies impaled cyanide-swooning damsels mesh-tangled angels hauled heavenward coral to potash, corpses to coal. The pretender to the throne blinks rubs blurry lenses, kicks plastic fins and moves on to the next show Unseeing and unaware of the luminous filament in his wake. Self-appointed divinity, deus ex machina. ******************************************************************************************* Ann says: All of the animal and human characters in this poem (except Neptune and The Pretender) are named after coral reef fish. Coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems, are expected to be largely extinct within one human generation. Deus ex machina is Latin for “God from the machine.” Copyright 2013 by Ann Marcaida.

Children of the Reef
#An Exegesis on the Humiliation of the Word The world is ruled by darkness. What appears as harmless is theater, what pretends neutral is already bent. The macrocosm corrodes; and in the microcosm, its reflection gleams.. even in places meant to be sanctuaries of truth. A poetry site, born as refuge for broken voices, becomes another stage of control. Here too the phrase resounds:   neutralize the threat. But neutralization is not annihilation. It is paralysis. It is psy-ops. It is the removal of anxiety.. not a side-effect, but the aim itself. Darkness builds its stage for this alone: that the  "angel of light" may drown his own reckoning beneath a world of deception-built self comfort, so he need never feel the truth he already knows. Comfort is his curtain, numbness his crown..   *the removal of his own anxiety;       his game.* This is why the world is his theater-- *Darkness does not destroy at first.. it sedates, comforts, smothers.* Hence.. The whole world is his fully gaslit stronghold,     ..for now. Fade back into the moment-- The young poet arrives, bringing her unspoken pain, her hope for words to heal. Instead, her very wounds are seized as footholds. Hearts. Reposts. Endless affirmation. Not to strengthen her voice, but to redirect it. She is seduced into  belonging, and her trauma becomes currency. Unresolved, her ache entwined with lust-- a sacrifice prepared  for false altars. The angel of light  has done his work: offering inclusion without transformation, belonging without responsibility, “light” without source. The poet is neutralized. Her searching silenced, her voice absorbed into fog. Those who carry this fog cling to cowardice. Unable to face the judgment within, they align themselves to the herd; envy-filled, they only know to mock. Yet they replicate themselves, so their refusal of Light is never revealed-- *Perfectly exemplifying their "Great Example" the most envy-based mocker  of all.* The microcosm mirrors the macrocosm. What nations suffer, individuals now endure--    Comfort without clarity.    Belonging without truth.    Safety without healing. Yet the living Word endures. Every attempt to humiliate it only makes its fire burn clearer. Carriers of darkness can swarm, ****** and smother.. but they cannot create. The true word cannot be erased. Unfiltered, unedited, spoken from a reconciled temple, it pierces fog. It reveals. It heals. And so we speak.. not for ourselves alone, but for those who come searching, hoping that poetry might still be a place where pain can meet truth, where silence breaks, where Light is not withheld   but revealed. #

eye did.   As my prejudices expected, the odd assortment of "characters"were all present and not to be unaccounted for...a romantic comedy on a good Friday, attracts the believers, the well wishers, the ones who think if only the world was.. and I was not re or so tired of life, unemployed, lonely, damaged in some manner of being... not too many young, just a few... theater darkness is a masque, with a risqué chance of oh no, I've been witnessed by the non-believers. the infirm with their mobile caretakers and paraphernalia were there.  Odd couples, were there.  If there was one unifying common characteristic, I selected this one.  We all needed haircuts. eye don't know why but it made me think about going to get one's haircut, and the rituals that requires....and it is and is not a bit like being in a almost totally private world inpublic, where you, the individual and some outside force majeure, hairdresser, movie screen engages and temporarily transforms you.  That is why, I, went to the movies on a Friday afternoon, to be transformed and not reformed, in public, in private...

Who goes to an early afternoon movie on a Friday?
Our first date at Rise Holding your hand at the Firehouse Theater Eating bagels you brought back from Montreal Having lunch at Salata Going to the Arboretum The way you peeked out children’s house Cuddling on the couch Watching Game of Thrones When you fell asleep in my arms Drinking Amaretto Sours When you would be silly The sound of your voice The maraschino cherry stem  you tied with your tongue The Forget Me Not Flower Kit you gave me Exchanging texts The sound of incoming WhatsApp messages Diner at Howard Wangs You wearing bunny ears during Easter 36-28-41 When you posed for me Your blues eyes looking up at me Seeing your smile Touching your lips The way you smell The secrets you would tell Showing how you care Hugging me tight Letting me take care of you When you cook Arepas The gluten free Clafouti The time you had the flu Wearing Calvin Klein underwater Your dainty feet   Your goddess like figure Your cute accent Typing in the door bell code Hearing you answer The emoji of puppy heart kitten Knowing you are my Bijou Calling you Minou

What I Love About You
Between going and staying the day wavers, in love with its own transparency. The circular afternoon is now a bay where the world in stillness rocks. All is visible and all elusive, all is near and can't be touched. Paper, book, pencil, glass, rest in the shade of their names. Time throbbing in my temples repeats the same unchanging syllable of blood. The light turns the indifferent wall into a ghostly theater of reflections. I find myself in the middle of an eye, watching myself in its blank stare. The moment scatters. Motionless, I stay and go: I am a pause.

There is magic in live theatre It can't be understood For even watching a bad play Is really something good The footlights and the curtains The sound of actors on the boards Of orchestras and the sound effects Of cheaply painted swords The theatre is a special place It excites me to no end It's a long lost brother coming home It's a warm and welcome friend Sitting in a theatre Waiting for the overture Is an illness I suffer happily And one for which I wish no cure Good theatre is transporting Takes you where the actor lives You sense it in the speeches That every actor gives You get lost in what's going on You feel hurt and you feel pain And when you get another chance You splurge and go again Live theater is hypnotic It's a world that stands alone It's a place inside your being You learn how love is shown It's where you listen to great music Played by artists never seen Where you hear the actor's heartbeat Unlike on the silver screen Live theatre is true magic I can't tell you how I feel when I see a live performance I know exactly what is real The lights are slowly dimming I hear them closing the lobby doors Shhhhh....the orchestra is ready Here comes the overture.....

Theatre is Magic
I peruse exhibits through the modern art museum Nails hammered into wood And trash strewn on the floor I couldn't help thinking What the **** is this **** These can't be the champions of modern art Moonlight and Arrival morphed my empathy and perspective The theater is fine Music is there for those inclined to discover it So what about visual art? I know a few things for certain Nails hammered into wood never changed my perspective Nor does seeing a garbage can in a museum affect my empathy Trash is not art Trash is trash Waste meant to be thrown in the proper receptacles So as not to obstruct our view of true beauty I will concede that Beauty can be found in everything Depending on analyzation variation But those that live an examined life Constantly see silver linings and sour grapes Experiencing comfort in tundras to the point of banality Those visions are much more interesting in their organic state anyway As opposed to an interpersonal expression of the seemingly obvious So what to hang in an art gallery? I have my own opinions At this point in time No visuals elicit more emotions Than dank memes When I'm consuming art Questions are innate in my consumption Is this a vessel for empathy? Is this examining the human condition? Dank memes meet those criteria Satirizing the powerful Highlighting emotions and virtues in ourselves That we're either proud or ashamed of Memes share a common thread with poetry In the sense that everybody can create memes Or be a poet I get the impression that Universality of art diminishes it's importance In the minds of patrons There's an element of truth to that But what makes art special is quality And what makes art truly special is high quality And that's what belongs in museums

Modern Art
I peruse exhibits through the modern art museum Nails hammered into wood And trash strewn on the floor I couldn't help thinking What the **** is this **** These can't be the champions of modern art Moonlight and Arrival morphed my empathy and perspective The theater is fine Music is there for those inclined to discover it So what about visual art? I know a few things for certain Nails hammered into wood never changed my perspective Nor does seeing a garbage can in a museum affect my empathy Trash is not art Trash is trash Waste meant to be thrown in the proper receptacles So as not to obstruct our view of true beauty I will concede that Beauty can be found in everything Depending on analyzation variation But those that live an examined life Constantly see silver linings and sour grapes Experiencing comfort in tundras to the point of banality Those visions are much more interesting in their organic state anyway As opposed to an interpersonal expression of the seemingly obvious So what to hang in an art gallery? I have my own opinions At this point in time No visuals elicit more emotions Than dank memes When I'm consuming art Questions are innate in my consumption Is this a vessel for empathy? Is this examining the human condition? Dank memes meet those criteria Satirizing the powerful Highlighting emotions and virtues in ourselves That we're either proud or ashamed of Memes share a common thread with poetry In the sense that everybody can create memes Or be a poet I get the impression that Universality of art diminishes it's importance In the minds of patrons There's an element of truth to that But what makes art special is quality And what makes art truly special is high quality And that's what belongs in museums

On a clear sky night The sound of harmonica dancing By the angles of the Moon Drum pounds  widespread Waves floating in an ecstatic pace The quiet bay listened with radiant Shells Star specks lit sky humming The Earth murmuring deeply Pines reverberating in back chorus Kids giggling around trippin' in thick dark Tripping over some minor rocks, happy to Embrace the unexpected music, dogs wiggling Heavenly carousel shining upon their faces Theater dreaming  of the joyfull now This exuberant laughter unsyncopated Steps rhythm fading on their paths Instruments put down, sounds of Crickets, bare naked, two plunges

Harmonica and Drum
We, the people of this country, in your eyes are: babblers, bachelors, bafflers, baiters, barkers, beakers, beaters, brawlers, blamers, beggars, bloaters, bloopers, bombers, boozers, blunders, bruisers, bafflers, bluffers, burglars and burners. That's why you feel compelled to keep your foot on our heads keep us down, put us down, push us down subjugate us, belittle us, berate us. We, the people of this country, in our eyes are: butlers, bouncers, bakers, buyers, barbers, cake-makers, delivery-takers, cocktail-shakers, taxi drivers, cancer survivors, employers and hirers, music makers, entertainers, window washers, foster takers, plasterers, carpenters, scaffolders, sparks and builders, boxers, carers, coaches, tailors, shoe makers, designers, illustrators, multi-language facilitators, dog walkers, dog trainers, bikers and cycle couriers, doctors and nurses and all the emergency services. We are the People, the reason you are where you are now you sometimes forget that we exist as people, somehow locked in your ivory towers with gold plated showers and MP expenses and investment banker pretenses this is not theater, its real life drama, its not just a bluff its time to stand up and say enough is enough.

Another Angry Voice
The door to your heart is a horrifying puzzle Your Jigsaw pattern I can't put together The pieces I hold don't correspond So I take parts from you Which is making me Leatherface And giving you a flatter taste And the ****** chain I saw placed Was pressed to your door with haste You're a killer doll like Chucky How could I have been so unlucky? I can't even cut through your curtains I become a cold corpse before the movie can start Like a careless Jamie Lee Curtis How long can such a curted courtship last? Before I contrive the courage to crush The Killer Croc in your rib cage But the corrosive corrections officer That is your puzzle piece door Impedes all progress to your horror heart Because the improper placement of pieces Will make me think you're The Witch When you tell me Don't Breathe As my theater's lights dim I scramble for an exit But my only escape from the cinema is through your door I grow cynically situated to the pitch black pictures How could I expect to solve the riddle Now that I need to? Doors that can't be opened are walls Speaking softly turns to brawls As your pieces scattered like change Your door completely wrapped in chains I feel stupid and ashamed Your puzzled movie's to blame

Horror
[From Fragments,  The Following...] ... so it was that the Urth bled less. The Birch Moot was becalmed by the Anvil Cloud of Impending Deluge. The Young Gods made sport of Their Names, and aimed to Oblique the colony of clever flesh groping at the tender roots of an insipid devastation. The First Ones had vanished. But Time was born and the Mortal Whirl released the Hounds of Change. Transition fused - with the Eternal; and the offspring of unloved Spirits, roamed the Tangible. All Suffering was amplified in the diamond lungs of a divine corpse, dreaming. ... for when the iron heart of The Cast Out was retrieved, the Legion of Heaven poured unseemly Grace upon the Fathoms and the High King of Doubt, forced his blade ' Nimue ' into the soft palette, of the First Mouth.  The Stars were born and The Void overheard the First Naming. A solid drizzle of enchantment cloaked the oaken Yggdrasil and The Pattern unleashed the folly of Pattern to mask the virtue of succinct Chaos. The Children of The Lower Sky ate their Masters and thereby swollen - gathered in the underbrush of the Fecund. They came to Know Regret by Answering Prayers. The Kingdoms of Wane were waning in the fearsome riot of Creation and not a boy, a man from no woman and no woman a man. ... the siege lights of the petty stars, babbled in the wake of yawning eruption and nullification. the ****** theater of blood was made Holy by way of forcing camels into eyes of needles in constant dystopian joy. ... and that's how the rain gets in. [ From the ' Kingdoms Of Wane ', a Lost Tome from Antiquity and Dada ] What ?

Nerve wracking, Gritted teeth Shattering, Fascinating and Exhilerating. A kid in a toy store, Overwhelmed and Joyous, I can Feel the magic Surrounding you. Violet hue around A face of blue, No one wears excitement Like you do. How I want to kiss you. My hands aching, You’re breathtaking. Touch me so that I may stop shaking. I’m yours for the taking.

Inside a Marcus Theater
On our first date At the movie theater You told me your hands were cold So I would hold them And keep them warm Now my hands are cold And your presence lingers In a scent On my sweatshirt
