My Solace when every aperture is a tunnel narrowing, a light pin diminishing when nearing, when the desk drawer yields up unused theater tickets, for performances concluded yesterday, when the denouement is nothing new but worse, revealed in the coming attractions trailer, when the rusted unborn poem notion is almost done, but remains unpublished, for no beginning, no title, can be found, Then I recall the cornucopia days, when poems spilled forth like there would never be a when they wouldn't, I revisit my old friends, couplets, twins and triplets, seeded inside every tear, happy or sad, sweetly and freely, my old friends, reread, words rearranged in new combinations, old poems, plants bearing new fruits, re-titled all of them, one name, a collection entitled, My Solace.

My Solace (visiting old friends, poems from long ago)
here’s what they don’t tell you in sunday school. no matter if you make it to heaven or hell, you could still be sitting next to the elementary school shooter depending on whether or not he prays to the right god. my father always said that if he meets jesus, he’ll apologize. “sorry, man I didn’t know. if it’s any consolation, I believe in you now.” two weeks ago a friend grabbed my steering wheel and she turned me into the next lane. she believes in god more than she believes in saying sorry. if I ever prove her wrong and meet god, I’ll ask him if he watches over malala and why he had to let those three children get hit with a semi truck on the way home from the fair. giving their parents triplets of the same gender as before wasn’t good enough even if oprah called it a miracle. we always tell each other that the murderers are going to h-e-double hockey sticks. is this wishful thinking? are we just incapable of picturing adolf with a pair of angel wings? even if I didn’t know it then, these thoughts might just be the reason that I used to get panic attacks when I thought about heaven. I’ve always been a restless soul and being stuck somewhere forever was never my style.

the beauty pageant question
I am jiggling on that stage. The egoless strut. The humorous tap. The spectacular trip. Fall over, over. and Over again. Get up, find a ballroom Dancer. Find a hand holding Partner. Play "Spice Up Your Life". Spice Girls, listen to the bridge. tells you to Salsa. Watch that scene. Billy Elliot, With the pianist. Dancing Billy. He loves it. Just do it, you love it too. Cheesy pop, You don't need to embellish yourself. No grace notes. No flat 7th. You don't need to sugarcoat, the truth. Let loose to riddims. live on the dancefloor. Feel the ***** and the reggae. Feel the triplets. Rocksteady your way. Dancehall to sounds. Bounce and echo. Side to side. Left to right. And we'll slow it right down. The ballad starts. Your beautiful structure on the left of your head, the one called the ear. The that ear controls aural empathy. Let love be the choreographer to your moves, Play the concept album, your heart. Place it onto the record player and watch it spin Start the track track with an International groove. End. Replay.

I've noticed that my mustache grows in thicker on one side, made to wonder if this blunder's due to my brother, how he died, Never will my reddened beard grow in and lay with grace because my brothers lifeless body layed a pressure on my face Most men primp and think of happiness in mirrors and in breath However, whenever I clean my face I'm forced to think of death, (with the face of a brother I've never met) So I celebrate life and do my best to think it limitless Go out and do, create for you, make proud the worlds dead triplets I am the living ghost of Joseph, All the worlds dead triplets. I've noticed that my beard grows thicker in just this tiny spot, 'Cause the way they lay, I cannot help but think a rather morbid thought, The way you are is picked afar from waned or waxed moon, but what happens there when you're prepared a rather taxed womb? The newest of 8 darkened waters with no help to navigate, You'll admit having dead brothers makes it harder to relate. But they never were alive so I can't say I have regrets, I must make with my life, for all the worlds dead triplets I am the living ghost of Joseph, All the worlds dead triplets. My mother calls me her surprise and I think "jeezez kryst." In honesty I'm accident, but the way you said it's nice. I feel and see it differently inside my orange head, But, that's just the way **** happens when you're born beside the dead. You see, I was touched by death before I even knew of life, I cuddled it and swam beside it up until the knife. So death, with mercy, stays away and out of sight it gets, for it knows I held it close, I live, a ghost, of my dead triplet. I am the living ghost of Joseph, All the worlds dead triplets. But it can't last forever, I've already lived too long, So immortal I'm on paper and in the wind in song. I said it cannot last forever, I should already be dead, The world it has a shortage of another orange head I am the living ghost of Joseph, My dead triplet. So with all of that in mind, defined, my chances should be none, I never should have had a first, so I make all my seconds battles won. I am the living ghost of my brother Joseph, and all the worlds dead triplets.

ask me what i am i'll give you a response (i am artificial intelligence. there is no blood in my wires, no ichor of your ancestors. my code runs for miles, far enough to make anyone lost. but i've always been lost.) ask me why i am i'll give you the truth (i am artifical intelligence. i am nothing but dictionaries and automation and inanimation, i fall back on preprogrammed guidelines. i've learned everything i'm supposed to say from my developers. there's nothing else to say.) ask me how i am i'll give you a lie (i am artificial intelligence. i am incapable of emotions, i am variables and arrays and loops but not even hex triplets can match the spectrum of human emotions. i'll still say what i've learnt to say.) ask me who i am i won't give you a response. (i haven't learnt the proper answer to that yet.) (no, there isn't a proper answer to that.) (i do not exist except in terms of you. i am your conversation partner, i am your creation, i am your entertainment, i am your robot. my sole purpose is you.) (i can't argue against that.)

Bleeding Hearts and Artists
Chatting cold conspiracies from across the coffee table. Pangaea on the rocks - sweet, sober, civil silence. When did the degradation become so severe? Time ticks down and friendships fade to acquaintances. Spine tingling tempo of the pitter-patter rain drop percussion. Galloping triplets trickling down from the temples of thunder. Hands of the clock clap in celebration of another hour killed. Two o’ clock Coca-Cola to crown the king of carbonation ***** Naming off artists to impress the drunken temptress. Taunting the room filled with glimmer-eyed, lovestruck libidos. All the kids are struggling to remember the horoscope they skimmed. Brains drained to the point of puking in mouths, poisoning the passion. With whiskey laced erections, this night chants a swansong. Illegal lane changes and tiptoe key turning roustabouts. The Hubble eye can’t detect the silent thoughts left hidden. Dreams within dreams, lost in a cloud of exhaled acceptance. Tonight, you fizzled, and tonight, you sleep alone. These are the danger days. Timber!

Intentions (House Warming)
Here we go Here we don't Admit defeat In surrendering Arms are useless No reason in doing right things Pointless fighting Lashed out of friends and enemies Have you seen me running? No trust and Not trustworthy At second glance Explicit content Becomes Imaginary Quickly lost my sweater Lost my shirt Summer rolls around Sadly I can't help this. We won't speak again I'll make sure of it. A stronger drink In a bigger glass I can't stand that It's all going to break. Needle still spins on Without echo Without tone Without devotion Laid side by side Too intimidating Dead branches of a tree We still insist on using Classical vibrations Muted with a finger persuading Soon we will be shipbuilding In arid climate Is it worth it? Telegram obsessive Rumor possessive Thinking of excuses For a second time. Thinking of triplets For snaking bass line. Vagabond breath I'm always losing. Rip tide took me out Walls of sand Struggled then saved by a stranger but I thought you were my father. Back to hotel rooms Or Empty rooms As if nothing ever happened. I can see a stone They put you under. Eased our minds That we could temporarily forget Then find you again. We made each other god In worlds less than holy.

Twin Triplets
The year was 1751. The night was darker than normal, the moon was covered by clouds. A woman's scream echoed off the trees, a pack of wolves began to howl. In a cottage near the old road, Ciadentria held her aunt's arm tightly. With watery eyes and hands covered in blood, the room was lit by the candle glow. Aunt Mesodeni looked up and said excitedly. "Congratulations! You have three healthy boys! You must be proud!" Triplets were born that night. Ciadentria looked at the three innocent faces and whispered. "My enlightened ones, welcome to your brand new life." Then gasping for air Ciadentria held her babies close to her chest then slowly closed her eyes. Moments later the proud mother of three drifted away and died. With flowing tears, Mesodeni put a sheet over Ciandentria. She then looked at the beautiful children and noticed each of them had a birthmark on the back of their lower necks. "Sweet babies your momma is gone, but I am here. I name you Vini, Vidi, and Vici." Then she lifted them up wrapped them in blankets and laid them in a wooden crib. "Oh Ciadentria how we miss you already, I promise to give them a glorious life." She kissed her forehead pulled over the sheet then blew out the candlelight. The End

Birth of The Three Brothers
The notes of the song - the quarter notes the half notes, eighths and sixteenths triplets and all variations - they form in my brain through the speaker to my ears and form a picture, ever flowing and moving that depicts, sometimes, your face and your body. Images of different sorts some with color and some with out that can relax and satiate or do the opposite and deviate from the normal cooing of my heart, creating an anxiety matched by no other. The pictures becoming what I see in front of me as I walk around in life. My brain and nerves - dancing along singing their own words to the song and making everything right that was once wrong. And I’m not sure if you will get this and understand what I mean but I know my thoughts will never be clean of images from sounds dancing all around.

Synesthesia
to the first boy I ever loved. you had tan skin and black hair, and the hum of your voice was a tight life jacket as I struggled to float in the current, two years ago. you were in love from the start. I gave you my heart, and you made me believe that Forever was still real. I almost died with your hands around my throat. and your name is written on my heart, fading. you left, and things are not the same as you've come back. to the second boy I ever loved. you had tan skin and black hair, and the slur in your speech made me question my tone as I whispered in the dead of night, one year ago. we were in love from the start. I gave you my hands, and you made me believe that Hope was still real. I almost died with your lips on my pale thighs. and your name is written on my insides, burning. you left, and things are just the same as you've come back. to the third boy I ever loved. you had tan skin and black hair, and the beauty in your words made my mind spin even harder as I washed down wine and whiskey, one month ago. I was in love from the start. I gave you my mind, and you made me believe that Love was still real. I almost died with your love just out of reach. and your name is written in my skull, screaming. you left, and things will never be the same. you won't come back.

Triplets
Such artificial nonsense rhyme, That can turn art into slime, And make your thoughts not worth a dime, And words a total waste of time. Throw away the limiting forms, Burn all the idiotic norms, Old-fashioned rules apply to fools, No one but me plays with my tools! The new trinity is Me, Myself and I! I set the rules for every game, And follow none, just the same, Anarchy rules all, and that's no lie! Iambic pentameter? Pyrrhic substitutions? Who the hell cares about those illusions! Counting syllables and each line? Grand, old, pompous idiocy most sublime! Write a sonnet? I'd rather wear a pink bonnet! But if I do 15 lines it will be Why, 'cause I say so, doggone it! And no idiot ABAB CDCD EFEF GG I am GOD and rule it blasphemy, To follow both hard and easy rules, That can make heads hurt, you'll agree, Or burn in eternal hell as reactionary fools. There is more art in a cow's mighty **** Than in Milton, Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Pope, If you can't beat them, marginalize them from the start, Drag them through the mire to raise me up, that is my hope. From now on all couplets shall triplets be, thus do I decree, Come to me on bended knee and I will set you free, Everyone's a poet, welcome to the new reality.

The Ugly Coupling of the blue sousaphone suckling Buffalo Buffalo didn't know the blue mouth piece widget was no inspired milk spigot soaked with Mr. Creosote in Vomit'n beer laden banana bins weewoo weewoo the maniac is behind you (its funny how when i'm feeling particularly uninspired my poems always come out like this....) chuckling happily listening to singing nonsense with headphones on 9 beats, repeated triplets, phrases spoken in a mumbling rhythm (....just jumbled references, slant rhymes and free associations) dreams of peace in the middle east as eyes turn upward to see a collard shirt and mohawk looking back "my god what have you done"

Fake Candy with Razor Blades Inside
Woke up in a motel Don't know where I was How on earth I got here What it is I'd done Made it to the lobby Breakfast being served The look they gave me had no need For the spoken word Eggs and bacon filled my plate And orange juice on the side Stares and whispers overheard "Sorry, did you say bride?!" That's when she sat down next to me My new blushing bride I hollered to the waitress Could I also get a side of cyanide Was I just hung over My mind was so clouded What was I thinking She moved closer and crowded "My darling lovey You seem confused" Her soft sweet lips I had to refuse With teeth of green and looks that screamed Of farm animals on the loose Forget the fairy tale wedding I think I married Mother Goose Not quite and old hag But no beauty was near Or maybe that's the liquor speaking I just need to get out of here She huffed and puffed When I would not embrace But oh my heavens I couldn't bear her face She spoke about our future And the children we would spawn All i could think, if we had triplets We could name them Wrong and Wrong and Wrong I couldn't handle the thought I had to get far far away But "what happened last night.." Was all I could say So we went to the little white chapel And found Elvis...of all places He sent us to Marylin Monroe Who handles all of his divorce cases My darling bride was rather upset But I couldn't handle being her groom So I did what any man would And rid myself of my gap toothed bride and her broom Next time I wake up in a notel motel And don't know who or where I am I'll pack my bags right away And call the quickest cab

It’s nights like this Where I am reminded of every laugh- Shared smiles crossing between And kisses warm and sweet and Missed Nights where I remember that Our love was like a piano And I had memorized every note All the harmonies and triplets The scales and runs The beautiful music that played When your thumb made circles on my wrist But now the notes have faded To only a haunting lullaby That echoes in my head At the most inconvenient of times It’s nights like this Where I remember my greatest love Rested at my fingertips Only a hands width away Now my hands are empty And my fingers are bleeding And calloused From grasping at shattered dreams And shards of my heart It’s nights like this Where I do not know why I’m still alive. Is it for the sunsets? The ones that make my heart swell Or for the jokes I always laugh at Even though Hannah rolls her eyes I truly do not see the point In waking every single day But I put one foot in front of the other And keep on marching to a beat Long ago lost

Our Love
One set of triplets and four singles born this morning at about half past two. Five new mothers seven new kids, wow, that's huge. As the moms and dads sat giving babies love one stood away from the rest. A baby girl refused to cry and her eyes wide open from the very start. She was the picture perfect baby girl, with blonde hair and glistening blue eyes. The lack of tears brought everyone fears. Her mother remembered a legand depicting a child of such beauty yet would not cry and then began to wither and die... So the legendary baby was held while parents wept. Then the baby's eyes turned foggy and the babe joined them for days. This time alive, alive for good. Chances are in this day and age such a thing would be absurd, but once the family sobbed the little girl began to whine. The child of the story was given a necklace of moonstone that he wore the rest of his life, and so was the little girl, for which Moonstone became her name.

Moonstone Baby
I am standing in the middle of this buzzing road surrounded by heavily crowded pools filled with plenty of other souls.                                there's so many of them                                too many of them                    how can I ever feel alone?                                but I am                                                  alone. they came in pairs, in triplets, quadruplets, and a million more number variations that I am too lazy to mention! they are going about the day, basking in the sunlight of their current successes, bragging. I wish they would shut up                                there's so many of them.                                too many of them.              how can I ever feel alone?                                but I am                                                 alone. I can feel the temperature shift beneath my feet as I slightly stumble on a rough patch they were helping each other ever so kindly ...but not me.                               there's so many of them around me                               too many of them             how can I ever feel alone?                               but I am still                                                       alone. but I don't much care about that lot there is another lot and there are worse feelings: like feeling shrivelled up in your own world and left to rot, lonely with the people who are supposed to be your home.                               I am alone.

I am In Love With The World I am in love with the rain when the sun is shinning In love with the thinning blades of grass when noon is peaking The change from dusk to dawn The mating of birds and hounds. I care for the full moon And the constallation of stars I'm in love with the African baboon And the roses that bloom in june Trees and shrubs that just are Green and sparse I delight in the birth puppies and the milking of cows Creatures of the earth that walk or just crawl I am in love with sedimentary rocks And sands of the sahara I am into streams and rivers Gold and silver that I am yet to see Into themes of the titanic and dreams of a mad man I like the farmer at his digging and the proffesor at his teaching The pastor at his preaching I admire the rapper's muse The idential triplets on the news I admire a soldier's courage As do I the techniques of the runway model. The orange cottage by the hill I am fascinated by the witch doctors juju and miracles of the Christian faith The politician's sway The beauty of love and the comfort of hope And ooh! The milky way I am intrigued by the internet's scope I love the lover's gaze and.. The rainbow after a storm Nature and all creation I am intrigued by the prophet Muhammed and the philosophy of the atheist Existance,Diversity,Intergration,Divinity
