"turnoff" poems
I dated a girl, a pretty gal
I dated her and her pooch pal
You had to like her dog Pogo
You had to, or it was a no go.
She took the thing everywhere
And never in a pet carrier.
It was sort of a turnoff to me;
A kind of no-intrusion barrier.
Scoochie up to poochie
Or you I wouldn’t get no *******
Otherwise I was a pimple.
It was really just that simple.
She had the ugliest mutt
That I ever saw before
Like a brown **** rug
That was left outdoors.
It snuffled through teeth
That were hideously parted.
I thought it was stuffed
Until the creature farted.
Scoochie up to poochie
Or you I wouldn’t get no *******
Otherwise I was a pimple.
It was really just that simple.
I got nothing against animals
And I really do like dogs
But they should look like pups
Not chimera or warthogs.
I’d overcome the boundaries
Whenever I got the chance
But that ugly canine lump of fur
Put the kibosh on romance.
Scoochie up to poochie
Or you I wouldn’t get no *******
Otherwise I was a pimple.
It was really just that simple.

Cocky, yes my dear.
It's worth it in the end.
As the black widow would say right before eating her prey.
I can't do the human thing,
bull ******** about stupid things that make us supposedly happy,
What does that even mean?
I hate subtle hints and whispering.
When people hit on me I find it annoying,
it's the biggest turnoff.
say you want to **** me already and get it over with.
I'm a little bit selfish and possibly scary crazy.
That's ok I love me.

*1
Paired truths' paradox
Instant gratifications
Dissatisfactions
2
Black and white suits drone
Crushing joys in stale board rooms
Wishing for lunchtime
3
Only prints can touch
Rejection up on the screens
Instant messages
4
At water cooler
Smiles are leaving as they begin
Punch clock is waiting
5
New lovers are blind
Eyes on mobile devices
Hands in empty laps
6
Paper copies voids
Work a day world is shuffled
Even carpets smudged
7
Message coming in
Break away from actuality
Machine is turnoff
8
Monitoring tables
New job for prince or princess
Thrown cushy with wheels
9
Economy rules
Each worker replaceable
Sociopaths king
10
Drones chirp in dreamworld
Beyond corporate glass room
Birds singing outside*

Advice from mum,
For my little ones,interesting some.
A hug and a kiss when they cry,
Will make their tears dry.
Always take time to listen,
See how their faces brighten.
Children have fears,
Just hold them tight dear,
Soon their tension will disappear.
Young minds love to explore,
To be messy they adore,
Your anger turnoff,
Dirt washes off.
About anything when they question,
Answer them without hesitation.
Be good in your attitude and speech,
For them to have strong characters you will teach.
Housework will never end,
Be silly, open up and giggle and be their friend.
Cherish every cuddle,
They won't be with you forever after all.

The sound of loneliness
is the crinkling
of the plastic bag
into which you put your clothes;
you no longer have a drawer in my world.
The look of freedom
is you pulling out of my driveway,
forever.
I long for you to stare back at me
for my eyes are screaming all the things
that I was unable to say to you.
But you gaze straight ahead.
The turnoff for 89 south is nearing,
towards: Boston, Manchester, and Nazareth.

NOT A THRILLER
CERTAINLY NOT INVOLVING THE SEAS
THESE ARE HUMAN *****
THEY ARE MAD WITH THE WORLD
DISPOSITIONS THAT MAKE OTHER PERSONALITIES SWIRL
THE HUMAN ***** THAT ARE A TURNOFF
YET THEY CAN CERTAINLY BE A FORCE
I REMEMBER IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, I BROUGHT A CAP THAT SAID, “DON’T BOTHER ME, I AM CRABBY”
THAT CAP CERTAINLY FITS THE HUMAN ***** MOOD
I ONLY WISH A HUMAN ***** HEART THAT WOULD MELT LIKE BUTTER WITH A PERSONALITY THAT WOULD SOOTH
HUMAN ***** USUALLY HAVE ATTITUDES HIGH
IT’S THEIR MANNERISMS THAT’S WHY
HUMAN ***** ARE MAD GOING TO BED AND WAKE UP CRABBY THE NEXT MORNING
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
MAD HAS A NEW THEME, “HUMAN *****
BUT LET ME ADD “THE REVENGE OF THE HUMAN *****
ALWAYS READY TO GO WITH A SITUATION AT HAND
BUT HUMAN ***** ARE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE LAND
CRABBY OR NOT
SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO TIE A HUMAN CRAB IN A KNOT.

Lost on the rutted road to nowhere-
Bumper to bumper in traffic
That creeps along at a pace
Guaranteeing poor mileage
And overheated engines.
What difference does it make-
I don’t know where I’m going
Or care if I ever arrive.
There’s nothing for me at the turnoff
But another unmarked highway.
I had a road map once,
All marked with good directions
But I left it in a restroom
When I washed my hands
And saw a stranger in the glass
And listened to his tales of shortcuts
Promising to bring me home
To hearth fires burning
Warm with dinner in the oven
And two arms stretching out to me.
Silly, foolish, stupid me-
Hungering for meals not offered-
Rushing places I’m not wanted-
Giving things nobody takes
And getting empty boxes in return .

I’m driving past the school that I went back to for five, six, seven years straight—
The place that grew up around me like a dessert oasis— or Rapunzel’s tower.
I wonder if I should stop and put my hands on the old white bricks,
Like maybe touching the school will be like touching my childhood and it will heal my broken heart.
But I’m already past the turnoff going 45 miles an hour, so I turn my wandering eyes back to the road ahead.
And at the green light ahead, my unrequited love is riding a bicycle across the street one-handed and smoking a cigarette,
Wearing a shirt that says “please hit me with your car, so that I can just stop feeling”
But I swerve, and he slowly pedals on

If you could choose between
losing yourself and discovering
the deepest parts of your soul with
their weakness, fragilities and fears,
what will your choice be eventually?
And if you go for the first one,
will you walk in the streets
like an empty body looking lost
among humans whom souls you
cannot and do not want to touch?
And if you go for the second one
will you have the strength to fight
the demons who will come at night?
Will you see your soul while looking
in the mirror and recognize it as yours
in its whole being, with its scars?
If you could be whole, would
you still choose to be a half?
