"typo" poems
No no no, this isn’t one of those commendable confessional rants of redounded reality. We all know where that goes and what it leads to. This rhetoric comprises solely of the faulty intuitive comprehension and the ******** behaviour people have while under the influence of the poor man’s **** That could be mistaken for a typo. Xeno-meph, would be what aliens are called if they did this too. Extended warranty of your sinus cavity is a must. And a mouth guard so you don’t churn away at the capricious calcium that are your teeth. Smoke and dance till lungs and legs collapse. Talk like you’re the spokesperson for an oil company that’s pillaging life and land. Change your personality in a minute and become the ****** you always wanted to be. That smart talking, **** wagging, ***** licking, *** ******* back stabbing, self serving, worthless piece of **** is now you, but it doesn’t feel like that to you. Rational ******** your only reprieve. Keep doing the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again hoping the outcome will change. But you’re cool. You’ve done this before, it’s solvable. A break. That’s all there’s to it. The itch in your nose has stopped. Your jaw doesn’t hurt. You don’t feel like **** but you know somehow that something is amiss. Things are not what they seem. Sense doesn’t make itself. The dark is your sanctum. Fast is your peace. That’s not a typo. The world cannot slow down for you. You have to speed up. Another gram, another line, another lie. Control is what you say it is. Handles are what your stomach has. Fast forward a few months and you don’t have a handle on anything. You don’t feel down, you feel fine. Nothing’s wrong But just another fall, and you’re straight out of line. Justify! Justify! Justify! Listen, keep listening… Talk! keep talking! Everything makes sense. Everything is a sense. The difference is that I’m faster, quicker, sharper. I’m handicapped. Leverage is my mind, broken and blind. I wish that was a typo.

the seagull diddled when he perched on my dock, though no invitation extended, no offense was taken, when in observation, of the foolish humanish varietal, did it opine *"dude, u need to move more and exercise those legs, eat right, many small meals, like me, write your-poetry while in airborne motion."* all this was spoke while he speared and swallowed a little river perch, in my face, flying off contentedly, just to drive his point home - directly into my gut so should the next pedestrian creation, be typo'd plenty, though, I can walk and talk, even chew gum simultaneously, advice from seagulls, who defecate on my dock, should be taken as well, in small sized portion control poetry is best served, proudly prone-ly though I did thank him kindly, and went back to bed...

The Seagull Said
this is a poem dedicated to distance. to every time i have wanted to kiss you, but couldn't. to every time i looked at my empty hands and thought of yours. to every time i was in a crowded room and secretly hoped that i'd find your face. to every happy couple we see that inadvertently mocks our inability to be near each other. to every time i've played your laughter over and over in my head to drown out the silence. to every time you just wanted to hear my voice, but i was busy. to every missed call and every undelivered text and every time your internet was down. to every miscommunicated statement and every typo. to every time that one of us was asleep when the other needed them. to every time you wept and i wasn't there to hold you. to every self-destructive tendency we share. to every pill your mother has hidden and every razor blade i have flushed. to every worry that plagues my consciousness whenever you take long to reply. to every night we have been together through a screen, but alone in our beds. to every, "i miss you" and "i wish you were here". to every broken-record apology that never makes it better. to every makeup stain that mars the sweater you sent me so that i could feel like i was sleeping with you (and to the fact that it doesn't smell like you anymore). to every hour, every minute, every second of difference in the time between us. to every dollar i don't have, and every time i wished for your chest against my back. to every, "why are you even with me?" and "you could do better". to every spectator and cynic that has told us we'd fail. to every doubt of mine and to all your jealousy. to every ounce of water in the pacific ocean. to every ******* mile between my head and your chest (i checked, and there are 9,752). you will not win. - m.f.

Cigarette smoke Wheels no spokes Board rollin down alleys Late night skate Let me escape The life I never planned Never on time You best lower your expectations Snortin molly in the bathroom Chuggin ***** in the hall I could be anywhere at all But I’d still crawl back to the clutches of dependence I forfeited life's race in the first lap Yet I'm still trapped Coughing up blood I strive for nothing I don't want to feel I long to be free From society Our culture has maxed out So now everyone wants to shout for help because what the world wants Is unrealistic We try to overdose And become comatose To drop all worries of material success Those Stacks on stacks on stacks Racks on racks on racks We forget its just paper Not what defines us The rest is up to the people To rise about the atmosphere Of atoms and mold supportive molecules from the elements we're presented Not corrected like a sent typo To your mom Or boss Control Is unattainable Fathom the slack of a slacker Loosen your ropes And walk the plank With no hopes of disaster nor triumph Determined To just be

Do You Have One of Those Pens With an Eraser?
I thought you were beautiful Not shallow beauty, Skin deep The kind of beautiful like the sun Shining on a tree leaf Showing its veins Beautiful like, The sound of a creek After a good storm Like the feel of a summer breeze On the back of my neck I held you in awe You were the mist, Rising off the lake on a cool morning The view from the top of my mountain, In the fall when the leaves are colored You were the violin music Playing softly while I danced The colors oil makes on the street Just after it rains and the light hits it I was nothing A ghost, In the darkest corridors of your haunted house The typo on an old type writer, Needing white out I thought you were beautiful

I Thought You Were Beautiful
1 Dear Poet Friend at HP (I don't know your name, as the name you use at HP is in a typo I can't decipher.) * I welcome your question and comment as it gives me an opportunity to explore this issue of plagiarism. It will indeed be useful for everyone. * This is my modus operandi: I take a joke from online and I convert it to poetry. The language is mine; I give the joke a context, even alter its spirit, create characters and by the time I'm finished with it, it is a new and original product. If I took the words exactly as they are and passed them off as my own, then that is plagiarism. I never do that. Plagiarism is taking another person's words and phrases and work and passing them off as one's own. That is not what my work is about. * Take the example of Shakespeare. His "Julius Caesar" is actually based on various sources. So is his "Romeo and Juliet" and other plays like "Othello". Do we charge him with plagiarism ? No, as he has used his own language and puts each material from various sources into his own style. I have taken many jokes and I have put them in poetry, in my own style, in my own narrative. It shows a great lack of understanding of Literature to call that plagiarism. * You might ask why I do not have a note at the end to indicate the poem is based on a joke found online. I used to do that (see my older poems) and decided for purely aesthetic reasons to keep notes to a minimum. Kind regards Raj Arumugam 2 Would it be fine with you if I posted your comment along with my reply as a separate post on my page? It will benefit everyone to consider this issue. If you are not agreeable to my including your view in such a post, then I will simply post my reply possibly entitled "Reply on being charged with plagiarism". Thank you Kind regards Raj Arumugam

I hope I don’t **** this one up If I make a mistake it isn’t my fault My credibility can be diminished by the way present things I, the way I present things I am afraid of publishing something someday and ******** up the end result Someone will read it and laugh because I missed word A word, I missed a word **** If I am to ever mess up a final draft then I will laugh because nothing is final except for maybe death Maybe Books scare me because when they are printed the work becomes permanent And I’m not sure I want anything I create to last forever I don’t know if anything I say will ever be kept for that long but if it is I want my mistakes to be as clear as what I am attempting to say I am attempting to say I cannot be held accountable for everything I do wrong People will look back and doubt that I can be trusted because I didn’t use the write form of right Even so, I hope my errors are good enough to be remembered I hope I can incite a cringe or two with my fallibility I was not made to be perfectly correct in all that I do, my words can attest to that So if I **** this up, if I make a typo, Let’s just pretend it was on porpoise.

Poem Analysis 1st read, I thought gibberish, 2nd I thought Hmmm, 3rd I thought interesting, 4th I felt genius. billy your poem comment-dissects my poem my process, a marathon interview for a new poem pole position, limb by limb, word by word, chewed and re-chewed, like a tiring piece of bubble gum, the flavor remaining ebbs, but is not extinguished, and can live in your mouth, forever and the praise and this poem, not a rodomontade, for your comment dear Billy, is the process description of a poet’s labor, from word first to a baby’s birth, gibberish into genius emergent from first pain, then pushing, then tilled, at long last, the dirtiest immaculate conception beautiful billy reads my rambling, silly abstruse^ & wrote me: *1st read I thought gibberish, 2nd I thought Hmmm, 3rd I thought interesting, 4th I felt genius* this is a much loved critique for I well recall each step of creation, a summarizing parallel that your words+genes replicated so well, forgiving you a minor typo, Billy, it was genus, not genius that you meant (but then again, why quibble over a miscellaneous, harmless, delighting, tiny little extra i...not me, said he, my muse ego ) Billy has gone gray dotted, but his dot, his comment, with gratitude, in me, he, lives for ever I feel gibberish coming on...

Gibberish into Genuis: 1st read, I thought it gibberish (2019)
Cause you see. I can be rich and married to a woman in mediocrity; Or I can be poor and with the woman of my dreams, I'm sure of it. Everyone wants a piece they can only get a tour of it. Fussin for crumbs, I'm baking more of it. But that's apparent; or superficial? It's existential at the core of it. I just need to feel. Girl, show me something real. Don't conceal from me. You can get the deal from me. We can go and peel. You can grip the the wood grain wheel. Make 'em tires squeal... For me, Is who I'm running from. Upset with all I have and haven't done. Under layers of writing, Pounds of paper, Tangles of letters, Words rearranged, Metaphors you may think strange. But here I am. Hiding in my forest of unspoken conversation. Bits and pieces can you see me? Look and listen do you hear me? Maybe I feel lost because I've grown. Trees happen to be bigger than shown. Past poems come to mind. Of trees; Of me. Of flowers; Which happen to be about her. Certainly, this same old ǝɔuɐp’ Cannot be my only stance. This tree has legs, I must move. I just hope to not lose it, As soon as I get in the groove. -Luca Ivaldi

Typing was not my strength, it was my shame. Typing is a skill to make words legible, not for me. Letters were rarely in the right order, what a shame. Things change, typed word can create order. Secretarial work was not my thing. Typing purchasing orders all day was not for me. One typo, the order goes in File 13, to erase my error. At the end of the day my wastebasket was piled high. I typed a purchasing order and things changed. It was for 50 tapes, my fingers flew to my shame. My boss called me in his office, asked to read I ordered 50 rapes, you read it right rapes. He laughed, showed me a pencil and asked. Do you see what is at the end? Yes, an eraser. Learn to use it, use it to erase and correct your mistake Do not throw away your experience. He added: in 5 years your mistake is forgotten In 10 years few will remember your mistake or name. In 100 years from now no one will know who you are. I wish to be remembered as a woman activist poet. I no longer use File 13 to delete a shame. You see, I write and type about the shame of **** The shame every woman who is violated feels. It a shame but not her shame, file and record his shame.

SHAME
In laws, pardon the typo in the law, a system of justice, like the law of averages, it all equals out in the end, laws are broken, people bend, meant not to, break rules of the land, the court is fair when it demands, restitution, a repayment of sorts, the system is in place when a face goes behind bars, near or far, fear or worse, in a hearse, thin excuses, juror recuses, furor increases, time decreases, behind bars, penance the menace, what we need here is some hard time, under the thumb of the law, but the law has no thumbs, only scales, held in the hand of a blind maiden, but what of the parents of a forever lost only child, but what of the family who loses a father, or mother, sister and a brother, but what of a woman who lost her man, will the maiden step aside and let them hold the scales, I think not, some say the system rots, the law is devoid of the emotion, that those, who have measured their lives against a loss, the experience has burned off the dross, they are left with pure emotion, unable to fill the void, which the law was never meant to do, we blame society for all sorts of ills, rather than have society step in and fill, the void in the law, that is compassion for the victim the void in society which is not the wrong but to make it right, the answer, avoid the law? no avoid breaking hearts, of blind maidens, and avoid breaking laws.

Law
if you want to make a mark on the world, remove the marks placed upon thyself, by thyself, thus skilled, then erase others. be an eraser, then a bother-in-arms. no typo, bother the world by your arms, your reach around, arms extended. freedom begins when first seeing the greater good. making goodness greater, frees oneself to free the others, all the days of your life. mark them how you free them well, being a eraser, then a re~marker upon each other. he who erases the marks of others, makes his mark upon the world non-pareil.

(for Daisy, a true companion to poet rr) in the city, we fight daily the toughest of hombres, brown, grayed, mottled city pigeons, who fear no human predator, in the fight for the crumbs and crusts of inspiration however, they may come our way get a message, a post, with the words “a good create” the words form a chord, in my throat, taut, visible, tense even knowing it’s likely a typo, probably meant “creature,.” but the phrase strikes me as one too little spoke in our diurnal drudgery numbing~dumbing struggle, but, I take them as (a) writ, for the crumb of challenge proffered if we cannot justify our existence, daily with a new create, then incumbent upon us to cherish, double and thrice, the good and wonderful creates, the surround us been decades since my body was warmed by the shape of an animal’s curves fitted into mine, our sleep rhythm intertwined, nay, one <> so once again, I mourn a living poem who crossed my path in photo, in words, but never, not in, living color but the sighs of loss, real *so as is my wont, inquire within, where shelter? in the love we create tween us and our* creatures.

“a good create” (for Daisy, a true companion)
This poem is thumping like a boulder at the bottom of a river And last year’s hit is fighting static on the radio We sat against the waves all day yesterday I still feel the rocking That anti-movement The best part of a meal is right when the food arrives I’d rather stay hungry than be satisfied to stop wanting to stop chasing I sleep on the ground to be farther away from you the whole time we were stock images choreographed feelings unrealistic props and a well timed photographer Now we’re stopping in yesterday’s parking lot and today’s hit has turned jarring. They’ll be running our circles long after we die. I made a dozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before my mother came home and took the knife out of my hand I’m running to you like you’re a pint of Ben & Jerry's and I'm lactose intolerant It stays in my mind like choking on medicine It’s like that pregnant silence when the waiter asks “together or separate?” It’s like driving up a mountain or criticizing the lack of representation in a Hallmark movie alone from my couch. There’s nothing poetic about stalking you on twitter. but it’s part of the story so here’s a stanza about it anyway. [Pause for effect] I hope next time we meet you’ll ask me how I am I’ll tell you I am super and both of us will believe it again I hope one of us will smile and say “0ne day” and the other will notice the typo.

Love Poem
watching the pain dry *you did not mistake - no word play, not the product of typo or errant clenched eyes labored writ, the liver is failing, the interval organs a joint co-production contribution, the words demonized, but truth cannot be plausibly denied all cast members are rehearsing preparing the last act, interrupting with exceptional, expectorating refusals, objections,* too *this n'that *all their "too's" are double O'd, double ****** negatives an overflow bloodletting, excessive overwriting the playwright words, maudlin can't be spoke in the present of his presence revolutionary overridden by the actors, the words too hard, to speak sob as long as I am almost stilled but still in the room -*wrenching a bemused grin guiding them & pain to a higher purpose, admonish them with pleasured pleases needs saying as it writ and carrying  the denouement to a rightful conclusion as*

"You're a goofball" she muttered "And you're a typo queen" I smirked at her "But you're my goofball" she smirked back "Forever and always like you are my queen" Yet now I'm reminiscing and a total wreck..

What happened to Forever and Always?
It seems like a man can't be happy or sad A man can't be sappy, y'all gettin' mad. "All you do is sit at home. Go do something." Constructing "Where are you? Come home." Undertones erupting I do this for us alone. Even if it's all for nothing. Let's do, explore and roam. Even if it's all for nothing. Live life like I tore this poem. Like life written, All for nothing. -Luca Ivaldi
