"towing" poems
Doom train hurtling along Through the fog in my mind Towing freight, rectangular and oblong Dim headlights, you're travelling blind Five carriages long, excluding engine and caboose Metal against metal, spitting sparks on steel Undetermined path, rails will choose Chugging along on dirt covered wheels In the cabin, I see the light Emanating from your furnace Swallowing up coals in your gaping bite Tongues of flames licking the surface Fire breathing, spewing thick black smoke Almost unseen, against the dark of night A long plumy arm as if extending to choke And plug the remaining sources of light Meandering precariously on tracks that weave Over uncharted, unfathomable terrain Your store, so reliably you heave Worming your way through my brain What's in that cargo of yours? What lies within those boxcars? What drives you to diligently run your course? What fuels you to travel near and far? Loads of self pity, self loathing and self reproach Snaking your way to an unknown destination Screeching brakes as if a stop you approach Herald the train of dubious intentions Light is upon you, dark will dissipate Your plumes starting to lessen from your stack The dawn breaking horizon you didn't anticipate To see another charging towards you on this very same track...

Doom Train (I)
Speaking of how these Ladies of the Night must hate Daylight Savings Time since the sun doesn’t set until nine, and the cloying summer scent of honeysuckle drowns the smell of their knock-off Gucci Guilty. Except there’s that one A.M. Pro who works the whole stretch in front of The Towing and Recovery Museum from 7 something till lunch. She’s tried to keep a low profile, but is hoping to meet that one lonesome soul who needs to get blown at ten o’clock in the ******* morning. Sometimes I wave at her when I drive by, wishing her the best, whatever that may look like... The fasten seatbelt warning light is flashing on my dashboard but I’m buckled in, rest assured. That’s probably important, but it’s like what Don Q whispered to Sancho through the Spanish gloom: “I need you.”

International Sisterhood of Daytime *** Workers (or A Union Song for Hookers)
My auspicious and audacious assault augments the annoyance of aged accomplices. My bodacious broadside of boffolas berates and buffaloes bros beneficently. A classy crusade Clownishly chiseling and criticizing childishness. A devilish ********** of dillydallying dullards; devoutly denying dimwits the dulcet dream of defiance. Excessive, exuberant edification, ebulliently eliminating education-evictees. A fair-weather frolic in flippancy with furious fools floundering in flawed foppishness. Gregariously grating glum guys gleefully, growing grander garnishes of gripping gallantry gaily. Heckling hooligans highlights my heavenly humor. Irreverently irking irritable, iniquitous idiots in inestimably infuriating and incredible instances. A jolly, jocular **** joking with jerks. A kreiger kicking kleptomaniacs in the karyotype. (Cut me some slack, this is 'k', after all.) A ludicrous, laughing lambaste of lollygagging lunatics, loftily loosing luscious lunacy on lucky losers. A magnificent masterpiece of malfeasance, a monstrous, malevolent mission of massive misfortune for the minor minors missing no malicious missive. A noxious, narcissistic niggling of nitwits, niftily nixing the noisome naivete of niggardly nobs. An offhand, off-color outburst of outlandish observations to outclass the obnoxious overtures of obsequious offal. A pragmatic prediction of possible platitudes or platypi, a placid parley of pyrotechnic pleasantries provoking Pyrrhic protections by prurient prats. A quixotic quibble quarreling with a queer quarry. Ribald ribbing, ruining the robust reality of the repreachful, repugnant, and rapacious with risque ridiculousness. A silly, slighting slander of sluglike slavishness, succinctly sinking sloppy simpletons sourly. Tracing the titillating talent of towing tyranny to towering terrors to tactless, togless, terrapins of the times.

Internal monologue, to self, a note: prose and poetry I wrote to what I loathe, every word I chose a potent seed of grief I sowed. Sturdy oak's branches, limbs, and stoic bones turning into woes of a weeping willow's roots overgrown and exposed. Grain of timber groans, bends and bows in billowing wind blown; a coat of leaves in ribbons, clothes, cloaking grove and hanging rope below; around my neck, coiled and closed, asphyxiating, chokes. Ungasping, thrashing throes, no breath can flow, slowly losing hope; devoted to an unspoken oath, towing this floating ghost and shadow of an ego dangling alone on threadbare throne, only home I've ever known. So what, to this world, do i still owe and why can't I just let go?

Note to Self (Part 1)
New flesh nudist art next to a pretty dress as a naked eye sees want it wants to see A little of an unexplored world in between —ironically a queen on her knees A flowing river; centre tongue licking drips of a honey cup Tip toeing sounds, silently in their subtle under the secret sheets towing the sky A mist for night; a mister of the charges —who leads who Being lonely for two, been through a misconception of missing you So I just sit, waiting in this empty room

Empty room
People walk on by and only glance in my direction unaware that I am suffering from a deep rooted infection. For don't you see that I'm painfully dying and in the future you'll know that I could've been saved, all it took was a simple moment of trying and to hear the things that I always craved. They tell you a drowning man will drag you down but I've always been a strong swimmer, we can easily take on another pound just focus on the waves surfing glimmer. Keep going, keep rowing, don't inhale that salty sea. The wind's blowing, exhaustion is showing, I'll hold you up even when you can't hold me. People walk on by and only glance in my direction they aren't the slightest bit shocked at my self inflicted dissection. For I desperately need to remove my organs of rot, these days feeling just takes too much of a toll on me, and they're so badly damaged that no customer has bought, even when I offered them up for free. They tell you a drowning man will drag you under but I've always been gifted with a swift stroke, how I made it out this far truly is a wonder, or maybe just another sad tasteless joke. Keep going, keep towing, don't you give up so easily. The wind's blowing, pace is slowing, I'll hold you up even when you can't hold me. So call me Ismael 'cause I'm lost at sea, was caught up in a current very swiftly, and my white whale has lost all interest in me, I guess there's some other place it would rather be, than stuck in my sad excuse for company. Do I glimpse land's salvation or am I just succumbing to insanity?

Arms that rested on her wide hips I miss her 'grape-ulent'  lips How onto me she tightly clung While my harmonic mp3s sung The walk by nature's green Moments we dared to dream She sung alongside Dido Oh gosh, the "Darling" title How occupied she kept us Cut my wings,back down to earth For all that's happened was worth I miss placing my arms on her *** And towing her close to my body I miss her soft grip on my "daddy " The look in her eyes when in control I miss ******* her glorous beach umbrellas How she ardently put off the lights I miss the many long and busy nights Freezing and so I miss her furry furnace I miss the soft moans of pleasure She was an undisputed treasure I long to drink again from her chalice I miss the tear filled hazels of lust Thighs like tectonic plates in Earth's crust I miss being trapped by those stalactites Her harmless but arousing  love bites I miss having her thrilling ride My body would yield and abide Her little laugh when things got real hot My rock hard cable in her USB port I miss the warm cool of her wetness The milking machine greatness I miss how whispers talked Till late after we'd ****** I miss diving alength I miss losing strength

ABC Poem (Girls Names)
A broken down Chevy- Doesn’t that sound like a country song? My broken down Chevy Is where my life started and I began to belong. That little pickup stayed true to its name. It could pick up and take me anywhere, Or we could park in a field and I could write, To me it was all the same. Being behind its leather wheel Was a freedom I’ll forever cherish. Eighteen with nowhere to be Except driving my Chevy, every joy I could feel. When I lost my job I gained an eviction. But I still had my Chevy And I had its bed to sleep in. There was no work in my small town. I knew I had to leave, Just my Chevy and me. We traveled for days to the biggest city we found. By the time we arrived My Chevy had begun to sputter, It shook, it moaned, it stopped. And there on the highway, my Chevy died. I knew this day would come- My Chevy was a ’57. But it carried me hundreds of miles To the city in which my new life had begun. A broken down Chevy- Doesn’t that sound like a country song? My broken down Chevy Is where my life started and I began to belong. I left it there on the highway. With no job and only pocket change I couldn’t keep my beloved Chevy By towing it anyway. Now I’m twenty-five And the head of a publishing company. I married an artist who always supported me. Today he waited at home with a surprise. My broken down Chevy, Fully restored and brought back to life, Was in the driveway With a note taped to the window with the key. “I believe this is yours And may I say she’s beautiful! I found your Chevy on the side of the highway. Gosh I think it’s been six or seven years!” “My father was always handy with cars And he taught me his trade. I towed your Chevy and meant to sell it Once I had fixed it up to shine like stars.” “As I was cleaning the compartments out I found your old journal Full of letters you wrote to yourself And bible verses, all about perseverance, no doubt.” “Your story inspired me. It honestly rocked me to my core. I had lost all hope in myself and the world. I was fighting cancer, you see.” “I read your journal every day, every page. And the more I read, the more I believed In those verses you treasured so. I continued restoring your truck, and last year I got saved.” “My cancer was gone, seemingly overnight. The doctors couldn’t believe it! And honestly Neither could I!” “I thank God every day For the story He gave you, And I thank Him Because you broke down on that highway.” “Now I’m returning this Chevy to you. She shines like a diamond and runs like a river. I hope you can forgive me but I am keeping your journal- My granddaughter is fighting cancer now too.” “Please pray for her and I’ll keep you in my prayers always. Thank you for being the person you are. Goodbye and thank you again, my friend. Like your broken down Chevy, We’ve been made new; we’re eternally saved!”

Sometimes all I can think of is the sinkhole that I learned about in 8th grade. It destroyed an entire lake and swallowed all of the fish, rocks and even boats on the water. The thought of it fascinated me. Until I realized; There’s a sinkhole inside of me. It ***** up everything that makes me happy, towing it into the underwater oblivion. And soon enough, the only thing that’s will be left will mud. And the demons that cling to my soul like an anchor.

Sinkhole.
I’m hanging up my dungarees, And doing so for good, The video game cover art doesn’t Acknowledge me like it should, My brother gets his name in lights, While I do half the work, All the sibling rivalry, Is driving me berserk, I can beat the Koopa Troopas And stomp on Bowser too, But I only see the light of day If there’s a player two, And they’re rarely ever any good, I never reach the bosses, It’s always game over screens And endless 1-up losses, So I’m hanging up my dungarees, For the final time, I won’t go saving Peach tomorrow, I’ll start towing my own line, There’s no Goombas and Koopas, Out there that I’m needed to startle And for some reason, it’s always your princess, Not mine, who’s in another castle.

Pearl earrings. They came in a red box with gold lettering I unwrapped in the restaurant parking lot on a humid evening before my college graduation where we milled around, waiting for our table. My father's gift. One year later, in the same place, I put them on; my father walked me down the aisle to marry a good man. Wrapped in a princess dress. Towing a six-foot train. My mother's dream. They stayed in my jewelry box for one decade plus five. Years while I played hide and seek with depressions and wondered who that person in the mirror was. My straight persona. When I think of that now I remember-- pearls are made of pain. The substance the oyster makes to coat the grit, or whatever makes its way into the shell. The process transforming the ugly, raw, pain into the lustre of something priceless.

clay-baked women beat their clothes clean on river rocks at dawn cook rice and dal on an open communal hearth beneath a natural lantern of Indian stars for 20 rupees a day, roughly half a buck I have seen men and women tie rags to cushion their heads towing heavy mortar for new construction yet there is always a brotherly smile gleaming and sisterly hands eager to share what meager provisions earned these are no feeble folk no fashion slaves or mere mortals melodious bhajans mingle with the sweat from their brows and mantras, leelas of God echo through the Taj Mahal temples of their hearts I raise my bhakti glass to the backbone of India Her kundalini rising innocent, humble village peasantry true priests gopikas and gopalas who actually live the Vedic life

Last call, last shout Last drop till the last drought We had our chance And we're all still blowing it Here's the line Who will start towing it? Sink or swim It's time to start rowing it We're all standing on Broad shoulders of greed We all grew up dependent on disposable sneeds Woven from the tufts of the Redwood trees But it's not our fault, It wasn't you and me It was some old grandstander That we'll never see Right...? Well... Yes and no And it only goes to show That this house built of windows Can't stand one more stones throw So do we quit our jobs and stop driving? **** I don't know... We're past the point of blame It's not all just a game The more years you've got The more hot you'll trot Believe it or not... So here's to the treaties! Lower emissions and make it speedy! **** all the billionaires, Let's take care of the needy! Too much to ask? They never said it'd be easy.

Panama City 1970 ...
I was strolling down the aisle We were shopping there in style With my daughter sitting smiling in the cart, I was stretching out my hand For the Martinelli's brand When the apple of my eye gave me a start. With the bottle in my grasp I saw, coming toward us fast, A high heeled damsel, scarfed and towing her caddie And she smirked as I, condemned, Stood up to comprehend The reason, as my child said "Whisky Daddy?" There was nothing I could say, To make it seem another way, To vanquish the conviction so compelling It was the color you could tell And the shape she knew so well, The question that my daughter asked was telling.

Busted
~ gold-encrusted jewels dance on sun-drenched ocean stacks, his rugged rocks etched deep by her waves from far beneath, and Pacific’s gusty breath; his wind-swept islets burn, aflame in sunset's dying embers, like a lover's siren call. his chiseled keyholes waiting for the ciphered piercing rays to collide in rushing tidal spray. unlocking sunset's golden hour... surging forth then quickly fades, as sunbeam fingers slowly slip, beneath horizon's sultry lip; dusk unfolds in magic hues, molten rose turns scarlet blues, night descends as one by one, we raptured star-kissed lovers disembark this ferris wheel; the curtain falls again, with sea and rocks rehearsing lines to play again another day. this their theatre of the night, performed by two alone, beneath the moon and starry sky. ~ *post script. our last time through in 2004 was a blur on our way through to San Diego, an exhilarating ride for certain, with all of its bends and curves experienced top down in a convertible, but hardly doing justice to Big Sur’s stunning scene in mere hours; we told ourselves we simply had to return.   it took eleven years, and this time we spent a full five days and nights along Highway 1, towing a camper and slow-driving south from Monterrey all the curves to Morro Bay, exploring just about every hike and lookout in between; and in so doing, validating our return in a most satisfying way.  Big Sur is officially off our bucket list!  her sunsets were particularly rewarding, especially two... one enjoyed at sea level, from the sand and keyholes at Pfeiffer Beach day use area, the other delighted us from high above the ocean waves, seated at the picnic table of our cliff-side camp site at Kirk Creek Campground. a most refreshing time to recuperate and recharge our spirits; five glorious days of disconnection, reconnecting to nature, each other and best of all, life at the speed of sunsets and star gazing; evenings spent round the campfire with no cell, no i-pad, no laptop, only the light of the fire, the stars and that sparkle in each other's eyes!*

Big Sur
~ gold-encrusted jewels dance on sun-drenched ocean stacks, his rugged rocks etched deep by her waves from far beneath, and Pacific’s gusty breath; his wind-swept islets burn, aflame in sunset's dying embers, like a lover's siren call. his chiseled keyholes waiting for the ciphered piercing rays to collide in rushing tidal spray. unlocking sunset's golden hour... surging forth then quickly fades, as sunbeam fingers slowly slip, beneath horizon's sultry lip; dusk unfolds in magic hues, molten rose turns scarlet blues, night descends as one by one, we raptured star-kissed lovers disembark this ferris wheel; the curtain falls again, with sea and rocks rehearsing lines to play again another day. this their theatre of the night, performed by two alone, beneath the moon and starry sky. ~ *post script. our last time through in 2004 was a blur on our way through to San Diego, an exhilarating ride for certain, with all of its bends and curves experienced top down in a convertible, but hardly doing justice to Big Sur’s stunning scene in mere hours; we told ourselves we simply had to return.   it took eleven years, and this time we spent a full five days and nights along Highway 1, towing a camper and slow-driving south from Monterrey all the curves to Morro Bay, exploring just about every hike and lookout in between; and in so doing, validating our return in a most satisfying way.  Big Sur is officially off our bucket list!  her sunsets were particularly rewarding, especially two... one enjoyed at sea level, from the sand and keyholes at Pfeiffer Beach day use area, the other delighted us from high above the ocean waves, seated at the picnic table of our cliff-side camp site at Kirk Creek Campground. a most refreshing time to recuperate and recharge our spirits; five glorious days of disconnection, reconnecting to nature, each other and best of all, life at the speed of sunsets and star gazing; evenings spent round the campfire with no cell, no i-pad, no laptop, only the light of the fire, the stars and that sparkle in each other's eyes!*

Of place we'd been and things we had seen Memories of a snowy day and a big white dog towing a sled The sand dunes in the pine woods When shreaks of joy rang forth As we hurtled down the those slopes Then came the saddest day when we said our last goodbyes To that old white teddybear dog Trips round Yorkshires lovely hills Of you in a seat on the back of my bike And the long haired highland cattle in Bedale park A photograph I still posses of you sat by Richmond castle A thousand memories remain

**A Thousand Distant Memories**
We buy them in colors we like Because we drive them for years. My black pickup is shadowy and morose, But decidedly so - and I am unashamed. A few are Marlboro Red, Canary Yellow, Lake Placid Blue, and Classic White. Some built for speed, or for comfort. Some built for utility, or for economy. Most are silver. They make up a buzzing hive of polite, Tame, courteous, ordinary, bland worker-bees Who would never pass out on their neighbors' lawn, and who would defend her majesty, Queen Normalcy, With unmatched ferocity. They seat five to seven people, With plenty of room in the trunk for the American Dream. Mine is black, old and faded, But decidedly so - and I am unashamed; With only enough room in the cab For one other person, And its towing capacity is the mass of the observable Universe.

Pondering Cars
Mothers smoking ***** from a bamboo pipe in the morning. She peels bananas for breakfast with her hands that are never clean. Father died in a rich mans mine. Mother has found an Uncle to beat her on the weekends when the Wine runs out. Uncle make sister touch his monster in the mornings. The speakers of His word bring salvation and sugar cane husks for the children after class. All the parents miss the sermon and drink early morning wine on a sunday. In the cities and the suburbs girls chose the guys who can buy them jewels and give them children. Security is what matters who cares how you feel. A thousand smiles smile back as she holds the sparkling stone high for everyone to admire. He felt safer with his sister towing buckets in the mine. His Uncle didn't like it but the money bought more drink. They always needed children to venture deeper in the Earth. Slender hands and small bodies pulling Diamonds from the mines . She secretly admired the promise on her finger as he pounded away on her ripe smelling flesh. It takes a special kind of someone to fake it all for Gems . Men so lonely they convince themselves it's Love ,when they really know it's Diamonds. There's something about stones that take lifetimes to form . A Gem so strong only the hands of a child can set them free. What a symbol for promise ,for Love and forever. A stone pulled from the Earth by way of child labor and sometimes child blood.
