"vacay" poems
Vacay in a piano case.bathtub
ginn.pin stripes and fedoras.
Canadian club.speaks easy at the cotton club.
moonshine met primtime.
Blues came north and jazzed up New York
SATCHMO opened eyes. Chi towns tommy gun law.
sheen gun Kelly with a belly gun as chaser.
Granny flapped in the roaring 20s.
Then
1929
Went
Pop
And the party stopped.
LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL.

Last Friday,
my feisty Grandma traversed on,
on to her next life.
scented, shrouded,
en route to her forever-home.
She was 80 years young,
living with family.
They were so careful
She never went out
covid still stole her from us
We want her back
It's these f*cking politicians' fault
they eat, sleep, party, vacay
and all I want is my Grandma back

media is self absorbed
corrupt government systems
**** journalists and civilians
bleached coral reefs
nuclear bomb testing
fast fashion and factory farming
class discrepancy grows
capitalism expands
the forest weeps
earth is burning
150-200 species of life
become extinct every day
here's a picture of my food
and my pet, he's a good boy
vacay in madrid smiley emoticon
hashtag blessed hashtag fun
is it a lie or a distraction

me:"i wonder if anyone has jumped off of the top floor balcony here..."
step-monster:"only someone who was thinking about doing that would say that"
little sisters1&2:"we have come to an agreement, little sister 3 needs to be in a mental hospital"
step-monster:wierd face
me: mutters under breath "i need to be in an mental hospital"
step-monster:"-my name- your father and i notice way more than you think, we know your not in the right mental place."
me(thought):then why the hell are you sitting there not trying to help me? why are you letting rot away inside? why wont you get me help?
me:"whatever, you don't know the half of it."

Closer then sisters
Better then lovers
Never a second thought
Together forever
What happened to forever
What happened
Memories come
Memories go
I'm stuck in the snow
Of all our love
The stars above
Remind me of you
Stuck like glue
You and me
Us three
Nobody could touch
Never too much
What happened to us
What happend to love
What happened to the stars above
What happened
What happened??
Every year we'd go away
Crazy wild and silly vacay
It was the best moments of my life
Laughter, fun, excitement living high
Never wondering why
We were so lucky
Treasuring each and every smile
Thinking we'd be together for awhile
For forever
Never not together
Seasons change and the weather
We were birds of a feather
Flocking together
Living with each other
Secrets told laughter spoke
Our love never a Joke
What happened to us
What happened to love
What happened to the stars above
What the **** happened to us
To forever
To looking at the stars
To crying in eachothers arms
To figuring out life together
Never hurting eachother
Closer then I could say
Giving me life in every way
How can I go on
It's been 8 months since you've gone
And I can't move on
I see you every day
You don't give a **** I'm in your way
It hurts to pretend
Like I don't know you
Like I never knew
What thoughts kept you up at night
How to make you laugh at the right
Moment
All those moments
Dust in the wind
Blew it away
I tried to catch it
But you looked the other way
What the **** happened

Sometimes a change of scenery
Is all we need
A quick getaway
Or a long vacay
Doesn't matter whether you go alone
As long as you can finally feel at home.

I don't need a home
I don't need a husband
I don't want kids.
I don't need a six figure salary or fame
I don't need a pet
or a place on the lake
I have but one request, one love, one desire; to see the world
So, please, keep your ring, your family, your home, your money, your pets, your vacay places, and dear God,
BRING ME THAT HORIZON.

there’s comfort in the sadness
and there’s bliss in the madness
peace and serenity is all that i need

Ever wished for a getaway?
Silent, solo, one-way vacay?
Happy, humanity holiday?
No-folk, lone-boat hideaway?
Do you drown in a roomful?
Or sag from a spoonful?
Is a mutter a mouthful?
Or a minute a moonful?
Or possibly next door
Is too near to hope for
Just presence impending
Is chthonic, light-ending
When speaking is deafening
Conversing, head-hefting
Add talkers together,
More sound than a blender
Shrill shouting and yelling
All brain and ear-bending
Wailing and waterworks
More blasting than fireworks
Even when voice-mute
Their feelings still noise-shoot
They sing and scream
Or **** and steam
Leave you battered
Dry-tattered
All flaking and scattered
Slight sheets float dust-shattered
Disintegrating on contact
Obliterating the contract
All social rules are in retract
Safety exits are abstract
Unbeatable, unkillable
Invincible, divisible
Not fast or irresistible,
I choose to be invisible
