river of golden dreams
She was not just "asking for it" Her skirt showing her long limbs She is not one to submit Or to give up when told to quit She will not stand for your catcall For your whistle and "hey there, doll" You should not be appalled Because she really can rule it all She is fierce and she is true She's neither higher nor lower, but she is equal to you Her body is not just something you can tear down and ***** So, pack your things and say adieu She is feminine As well as pure adrenaline Cease to examine this "specimen" And become a true gentleman

Sexism Debunked
In love they wore themselves in a green embrace. A silken rain fell through the spring upon them. In the park she fed the swans and he whittled nervously with his strange hands. And white was mixed with all their colours as if they drew it from the flowering trees. At night his two finger whistle brought her down the waterfall stairs to his shy smile which like an eddy, turned her round and round lazily and slowly so her will was nowhere—as in dreams things are and aren't. Walking along avenues in the dark street lamps sang like sopranos in their heads with a voilence they never understood and all their movements when they were together had no conclusion. Only leaning into the question had they motion; after they parted were savage and swift as gulls. asking and asking the hostile emptiness they were as sharp as partly sculptured stone and all who watched, forgetting, were amazed to see them form and fade before their eyes.

Adolescence
Lady, your room is lousy with flowers. When you kick me out, that's what I'll remember, Me, sitting here bored as a loepard In your jungle of wine-bottle lamps, Velvet pillows the color of blood pudding And the white china flying fish from Italy. I forget you, hearing the cut flowers Sipping their liquids from assorted pots, Pitchers and Coronation goblets Like Monday drunkards. The milky berries Bow down, a local constellation, Toward their admirers in the tabletop: Mobs of eyeballs looking up. Are those petals of leaves you've paried with them --- Those green-striped ovals of silver tissue? The red geraniums I know. Friends, friends. They stink of armpits And the invovled maladies of autumn, Musky as a lovebed the morning after. My nostrils prickle with nostalgia. Henna hags:cloth of your cloth. They tow old water thick as fog. The roses in the Toby jug Gave up the ghost last night. High time. Their yellow corsets were ready to split. You snored, and I heard the petals unlatch, Tapping and ticking like nervous fingers. You should have junked them before they died. Daybreak discovered the bureau lid Littered with Chinese hands. Now I'm stared at By chrysanthemums the size Of Holofernes' head, dipped in the same Magenta as this fubsy sofa. In the mirror their doubles back them up. Listen: your tenant mice Are rattling the ******* packets. Fine flour Muffles their bird feet: they whistle for joy. And you doze on, nose to the wall. This mizzle fits me like a sad jacket. How did we make it up to your attic? You handed me gin in a glass bud vase. We slept like stones. Lady, what am I doing With a lung full of dust and a tongue of wood, Knee-deep in the cold swamped by flowers?

After school hours, sleepily Looking down from the window sill A deep rest in spring wind chill If I close my eyes To this brilliant world Reflected scenery dances still If I blow a low whistle Towards the blue sky Walking becomes a little more spry Turning my music a little bit down To listen to the lively corner of town When I look up with slight rejoice I hear a distant singing voice Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Today begins like any other day Bathed in the sun slowly drifting away The most pleasing place to reside Is here right by your side Dull clouds early afternoon A sudden shower in the middle of June Blue sky peeked out when I arose Colors arc out accross concrete meadows The bell chimes when I reach Out through the window and to the beach Warm breeze blows through the empty hall When I looked up I heard you call Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Let’s rest into the sunshine Taking breaths in a comfortable rhyme We may not speak for very long Though with just that I feel so strong My quiet heart echoing true When I’m here with you

Listless
. Snow drifts down      laying a lawn cold sheet across the frozen ground,           creating art reliefs like acid etching glass, open space rolling and undulating, in small hills and depressions,      bedecked in a veil of white. The silence is deafening, quiet having been enjoyed      and surpassed, briefly punctuated by the call of a bird,      A sharp whistle that shrieks and attacks the silence. The fresh smell of snowfall wafts up      as it settles and glistens in the light of silver moonbeams, randomly peeping through clouds. The taste of peace,                      tranquility, in the frigid air, sends imagination soaring from the desolation of isolation to another time and place.           The snow falls,      falls, in a relentless race for the ground,                all is still, nothing stirs, as the moor welcomes its quilt and sleeps with a cold heart,      dreaming,                        of being kissed by the Sun. © Pagan Paul (28/05/18)

Comfort Blanket
Being a girl in my day and age, you get used to all the horn honks, the wolf whistles, and the "hey baby's", and the guys saying "you're too pretty not to smile", as though not having a smile on my face at all times is a sin. But why should I smile when harassment becomes normal, when a girl can't report it because even the police thinks she should be flattered, but why should I be flattered that a guy wants to see up my dress so much that he 'accidentally' pushes it up, why should I be flattered when a guy can't even use words so he whistles at me like I'm a dog. But I am not a ***** I cannot be won over by a whistle and sweet words, no scratch behind my ears in the form of some misogynistic pick up line, will give you a chance. And if I laugh at your poor attempt, it is not consent, just because my lips curl into a smile, does not mean you can come curl up with me. My self worth does not exist on how fuckable I am in your perverted eyes, it is not existent on if you want to 'hit that', if you were to hit anything it should be your mindset that that is okay, right out of your head. Because I am not an object for your pleasure, and I object to you treating me like I am. I AM! I AM! I AM! A WOMAN! Built from all the things a man could never be. And don't you ever ******* forget it.

My Thoughts on Harassment
Perseverance on my tongue, a silken thought in silver ink I scrawl strange patterns on the sun and watch for daybreak to dismiss the blackboard starlight drips and runs. Now listless with my aching legs I’m counting candles, chasing smoke that filters yellow, drains the dregs of coffee, cold and drowned of hope. By tingling error I swallow words, boredom pervades the bitter night with a whistle, tuneless, that seems absurd I empty out my troubled mind to exhale sadness; curled, entwined - quite futile, like staring when blind.

Perseverance
Light train chugging, working to outrun Over exerting, pulling along your freight Sand is running out under the diminishing sun Fastidiously you tug on your enormous weight Segmented equal in seven hulking proportions Weaving between sleeping rocky giants Assertion in your drive gifted from the high heavens Borne of light your cargo load of tenants Silver blurred rays glinting back as reply As you power your way through Defying seconds, before the last rays should die Against odds, delivering what is due Questing to alleviate my inflicted darkness Spear of brilliance slicing through my mind Illuminating the farthest and tiniest of crevices Nook and crannies that willed me blind Careful manoeuvring to keep your balance Through scenic views fraught with treachery Furiously working to keep your cadence Hopeful of unloading the load you carry What lies dormant in that cargo of yours? What sleeps easy within those boxcars? What stokes the fire to diligently run your course? What promises you bear, travelling near and far? Bales of hope and crates of strength Supplies of kindness and self-worth Reside within your immense length Intact and lay quiet within your formidable girth Reliant on the light that fuels and feeds Your axles seem tireless guiding forth those wheels Thundering over land with the power of a thousand steeds Armed to your teeth with alloys and steels Expelling grit and dirt as you pummelled across Grey-white fumes, shoot up to the sky Flag flogged by wind, billow and toss Blaring your whistle as you race on by Propelling forward, horizon up ahead There it is...in all its tenebrous glory Darkened locomotive seething mad with dread Brace for the clash and the loads the two carry

In a station, Beneath the rain, Here I wait, For the nine o'clock train. Some say it goes far, Down the old way. To a better place, You'll hear others say. But I dance alone, On the rusty train tracks. I hear the train whistle, Sigh, and relax. In a station, Beneath the rain, I did not miss, The nine o'clock train.

The Nine O'clock Train
There is something magical in the whirring of a midday laundromat. A cessation of pride, maybe. People all dressed in sweatpants the air full of detergent smell and the sound of coins clicking against great tumblers as they go round and round and round and round... The people smile back, no use pretending superiority here. Whistlers twitter on, folding towels and socks into neat, organized piles. The children are well behaved, their hands full of potato chips given by their parents as a pittance for their patience. The patient patrons ponder on, their empty hands crumpling receipts. This, with the crunching of chips and the distant whistle over the percussion of clicking coins clattering in a dryer compose an unintentional opera, an ode to humility. Humility's honorable honesty heals humanity's hubris. Noisy trucks pass outside the floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows, Where the hot air wreaks its violence and men make their ways in spite.

Ode to Humility (laundromat)
Having ripped my way through Concrete older than my father With jackhammer and Shovel I rest. As thirsty as sweaty and ***** As dirt. Across the street The ladies at the hair salon Whistle and wave giggling girishly. Clouds of menthol. **** sexists. I put my shirt back on. It's not even lunch and I'm Less than a Diet Coke ad Without the coke.

The Objectified Construction Worker.
In the fragile shimmer of your tears lies tragedy. The bone-white curve of the moon hooks onto the past. The night has dragged on, endless, stilled to frost; Who is it upstairs, lost in bone-chilling despair? Rain plays light on the ruby-red windowsill. All my years of life on paper, blown astray by the wind. So distant are my dreams, they become mere threads of fragrance hanging in the air. Drifting, wind-strung, into your likeness. (CHORUS) The chrysanthemum shattered, the floor is strewn with tragedy; your smile has already faded to yellow. Petals land softly, breaking hearts; my matters of the heart lie in peace. The northern wind is frenzied, the night is not yet spent; your shadow can't be cut away. Leaving me, alone on the lake’s surface, to become two. The flower already nears its dusk. Once brilliant as the sun, it's fallen, dispersed. Fate cannot bear the world's way of withering. Worrying that the river will prove uncrossable, my autumn heart* tears in half. Scared you won't reach land- a lifetime spent wavering. Hear the horses charging hysterical on someone's landscape. The great changes of the world only whistle past my unchanging martial attire. It grows light out, just slightly. Gently, you sigh; a night spent in this cryptic melancholy. (REPEAT CHORUS x2)

When you told me I was doing great for a woman my size, I passed you off and told myself that "compliment" had good intentions. When you called me sweet cheeks I ignored you. A woman like me is used to men like you. When you told me the stair master made my *** look bangin, I was both honored and appalled. My *** may be my greatest feature but ****** comments have their place and the gym is not one of them. When you asked me for my number, you were rude, acting in a way in which no gentleman should act. I told you no. And I meant no. When you called me a ***** loud enough for the whole gym to hear, you were only making yourself look bad. When you came up and wrapped your arm around my shoulder and told me you were going to take me out for a good time on friday night, I was terrified and suddenly praying for a **** whistle. When you insisted I promptly informed you I was lesbian, and to let you down gently, not my type. When you called me a **** I took no offense, that word has become meaningless. Then you told me it must be a phase, that I just hadn't been with a man like you. That you could change me. When you said "hop on this **** **** I was done with your games. I pushed you aside and when you ****** my shoulder back you were the one to end up with their *** on the ground. Dear namless man at the gym, When you said you could help me through my phase, you were wrong. Being gay is not my phase. Being straight was.

****** affliction of a lack of affection companion Hand and hand strolling greater than syrupy plunging and even sometimes buddy shrugging over wooden noisemakers We whistle with their metal strings and through the pasta soft ones in our throats but no nest colored mares seem to hear our flamboyant feather calls for future fondling So I scribe slight implied short letters invites to drink joints and nature jaunts All too well thought out hoping your advanced technology cannot trace the time I spent to type The overanalysis of our psych: her and I’s wondering why she doesn’t have an inkling for a cute fall date where we attempt to bake apple pies It’s all too contrived, I know I’ll strive for delusion Accept a useful interpretation for our chemical inflammation and let sparks pass it by Like itsy bitsy flies laying eggs in a wound for stagnant water maggots They’ll eat away the thought well where all my cranial zaps seem to dwell.

I am from New Jersey. From the paradise of small towns And the inferno of concrete jungles. I am from truck tire playgrounds, Porch Clubs, and the whistle Of the Riverline. I am from divorce. From alcoholism and denial, From broken doors and hearts. I am from next to hell. From pouring out full forties For one's homies passed away. From too many candlelight vigils And sidewalks littered with fourth grade pictures. I am from the garden state. From cows, corn, and Clinton, And tractors in the parking lot. I am from tradition. From pasta and seven fishes, From "Mafiosa!" screamed in the streets And "No WHOPs" pasted on storefronts. I am from love. From three parents and four siblings, From six dogs and duplicate holidays, And the smell of tulips and holly.

Ignore the itch you can't scratch deep in the palm of your hand. Ignore the morning alarms, just sleep right through them. Ignore the sound of the coffee bubbling over, let it spill. Ignore the toothpaste stain on your new shirt. Ignore the voicemail notification, who listens to them anyway? Ignore the mailman at the mailbox, he didn't really say hello. Ignore the stare of the drunk man in your lobby. Ignore the morning brigade of children running behind you. Ignore the damage your heels are doing to your feet. Ignore the whistle from the man half your height. Ignore the traffic light, the cars are going the other way. Ignore the loud honk from the trucker as he speeds off. Ignore the liquor store, and the desire to take a shot. Ignore the "Baby let me talk to you," from the **** wannabe. Ignore the text message, don't let them know you have a phone number. Ignore the cigarette smoke invading your lungs. Ignore the baby boy getting slapped by his mother. Ignore the bakery with the tres leches cake you like. Ignore the bank, you're probably broke. Ignore the homeless woman, she just wants to buy drugs. Ignore the Facebook notification, just another ALS challenge. Ignore the time, you're at work early. Ignore the habits, listen to your conscience and speak loudly and clearly. You are so much more than ignorant.

Ignorance
One winter night The wind blows with its might She walks alone through the wood Her name’s Little Red Riding Hood The willow trees along the forest trail Sway their empty branches and wail And afar, the white bright moon Tries hard to shine like it were noon “I will eat you”, the whisper sounded near Sending her into a state of fear Holding her basket she spun around Only to see darkness from the sky to the ground Awake and alert, she waited a moment Her fast beating heart giving her a torment To go on or to go back, she couldn’t decide How she wished her mother by her side The wolf couldn’t wait to claim his food So he started to plan how he could For he knew which way she’s heading to It’s probably the route earlier too The wolf figured out a plan He wouldn’t share this to his clan So he ran and ran and wait for her at her granny’s place But here comes the twist in this tale For Riding Hood is a modern child And the wolf is still traditional and wild Riding Hood reached for her cellphone, and placed a call Calling her granny in no time at all “Im scared, Im going home”, she cried It was a failed effort, but she tried A wise decision, granny couldn't agree more Soon, there was a knock on the door “Whos that?”, Granny asked “Red Riding Hood”, his voice was masked What an impostor Posing as her granddaughter Granny picked up her whistle and blew it hard Down came running the guard Before he knew it, he was put in a sack What a pity, the wolf became a catch In a mere mobile phone He found his match.
