"wooly" poems
Who Am I? Well, I must be that ****** the one in the black hoodie ***** sweatpants and an uncombed eye, that's always wooly scratchy, bloodshot with searching for my stash spot, that ****** in your peripherals that you keep your eye on because he's not in a polo looking nice, talking "well-spoken" and not a threat to your beautiful lily-white daughter. Because I grew up fixing myself ramen noodles and lifting the welcome mat after school, I must also be that ****** whose father wasn't in the same house until he was age 13, and when I tell you that, you weren't expecting it because "you're not a racist." but you weren't surprised. You see, I must be that ****** a stand-in for all other ******* I must be that ****** who represents all ******* not because you are racist, but because I'm the only ****** you've met who doesn't talk like dis, y'know whatmsayin, and i talk like this, do you know what I'm saying? I must be that ****** In order for you to feel okay being around me I must be that ****** who goes to college does the right thing the white thing and gets a job a nice little house, a nice black wife with a nice new england clear dialect, (what I was trying to get at earlier is that ****** dialects, by their mere intonation, denote stupidity, right?) and doesn't say a word when his white friends make ****** jokes or talk in a ****** dialect mocking some Aunt Jemima they heard at Walmart. But, I also must be that ****** who doesn't step out of line and say "WHY IS IT THAT IN EVERY SINGLE ENGLISH CLASS WE READ ONLY TWO BLACK AUTHORS A SEMESTER, AND THAT'S ENOUGH, JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP THE ****** PARENTS HAPPY." And If I happen to be a ****** I, by all means, must not be that ****** who had a white girlfriend, and this girlfriend after dating a ****** tried to date a white guy she liked, and when she told him that she had dated, loved, and yes, ****** a ****** he had said back: "I can't believe you ****** a ****** Then again, I must be that ****** with the big swinging **** able to destroy a white girl's ****** with its pulverizing power. And, please, If I am going to be a ****** don't be the one who writes a poem about having to be that ****** because those kinds of ******* are being over-sensitive, those dashiki-wearing-motherfuckers who think "Da white man dis." and "Da white man dat." Because I am not one of those ******* descended from the first people on earth, your brother, not in the ****** way, but the familial, species way. Why am I even writing this, ****** isn't a main operative word anymore. Search and find ****** and replace with "Black Guy." That way it becomes a joke.

Cuddle me sweet lover, under warm and wooly covers, towards you my body hovers, and with bodies intertwined, there is nothing but you on my mind, we could be free from this world for a time.

Cuddle
*The cold wind greeted the hoarfrost that evening as white butterflies started to fall from the dark sky. Soon the pearly blanket was spread across the whole land. It sparkled on the milky moonlight, giving the old willow tree a wooly gown. Covering all the roofs, the fields of corn and wheat, the tall grass on the meadow. But then she appeared, sending fairies to dance on the frozen lake thus melting the ice. And with every step that she took, snowdrops began to bloom.*

no use in wondering if you saved my letters or still look at photographs of me and sigh because at the end of the day when i’m wrapped up in sheets and blankets wearing wooly socks and thick leggings and flannel i’m still cold and you’re still so far away in so many ways and i miss you, i miss you, i miss you i miss you but i can’t tell you and i won’t tell you because even if you miss me like i miss you i’m the one who tripped up the stairs and even if you offered me a hand (you didn’t, that’s okay) i couldn’t take it because i need to clean the cuts on my knees and wait for the bruises to fade on my own so while it seems that you’re fine now with taking the stairs two at a time, i’m still trying to stand on my feet and i miss you, i miss you, i miss you i really freaking miss you and i’m trying so hard to be strong

the healing process
My beautiful blue skein of yarn, Here in my bag you sit, I'd love to pick you up to knit, If only for a bit. But clothes need washing and babes need baths, And food needs cooking too, Besides, I'd have a hard time choosing, What to make of you. You see, my stitches were not even, My gauge, no one could guess, My beautiful blue skein of yarn, You would not have been impressed. But oh how I've practiced, how I've improved,  I'm sure you'll find it so, My stitches fly right off my needles and sit in pretty rows. My gauge is constant, my edges neat, now I am ready for you, But still that nagging question comes, what with you will I do? Maybe I will make of you a felted wooly bonnet, And everyone would stop and gaze and cast their eyes upon it. I'll wear you on holiday, we'll march in a parade, I'll prance so proudly, show you off, and say, "yes, you're handmade". Maybe I will make of you, a purse, like those I see in Vogue, I'll put in you my favorite things, and then, we'll hit the rode! We'll travel round the city, and everyone will see, How beautiful and remarkable a skein of yarn can be. Maybe I will make you gloves, My baby's hands to cover, And everyone who saw her'd say, "her mother must really love her". A hat, a purse, a pair of gloves, your beauty for all to see, But, only if I stop and knit, Now look what you've made of me, Your potential's not all I see...

The wind wants to comb my har but gets tangled in its snare. my wooly bend of kinks and bends has now got them all to stare. i didnt ask for this texture but its the only one i wish to be next to. i can braid it , blade it, grow it hide it show it , its always there. right in place , it doesnt fall into my face. my barber is the best barber he can cut  it into shapes. i can tape it fade it wear it long shave it. but it will always be my **** ***** curls black hair.

(1) There’s one thing I must get off my chest that’s bothered me now even 50 years on with the passage of time – my English teacher then she always told me when I grumbled homework was too difficult, she’d tell me: “That’s a piece of cake” And I’d go home discombobulated how anyone could eat paper or homework and she said this not once, but every time: “It’s a piece of cake” (2) And my parents and I looked at it every which way and from every point of view and concluded in our Perfect Ancient Native language: *“This English teacher is a loony. She is wooly-headed. She is the lamb Mary lost, silly and muddle-headed. How can homework be a piece of cake? Anyway, we don’t eat cake – we eat samosas.”* (3) And yet the English teacher would put her nose up in the air and remonstrate: “It’s a piece of cake!” Oh yeah, would you like tea with it? Now, my parents, bless their Ancient Souls, have gone on into the next world And I’m left wondering about the secret madness of that English teacher who’d ask me to eat cake when I expressed genuine concern… Well, my parents have passed on, as I said, and I’ve moved on as is plain and radiant to see to master idioms and vocabulary Punctuation, the catenative verb and Usage; and, as for that wooly-headed English teacher, I’m sure she’s moved on into a comfortable nuthouse where the staff makes her eat her cake, and make her think she can have it too - cos that’s what they do to nuts, and such instances (4) And now that I have got that off my chest, I can comfortably resume memorizing Volume 3 of theOxford Dictionary as  I perambulate and copy 100 entries from Fowler’s “Modern English Usage” as I victulate which is all part of my nightly ritual since she told me to do so some 50 years ago (cos I happened to look at her Union Jack knickers when she sat high on the table, and I stood up ***** cos that's what they made us do in the cinemas) - and that helps to put me into a state of dormancy, to hibernate till the sun ushers in a new day for me  – and a new cake for that wooly-headed English teacher, she, I can presume with certainty, elegantly reposed and superannuated Now, I’m glad I’ve got this off my chest and mastered my idioms and phrases and I can go eat my samosas

I have left, pig-mudding drunk, having sipped from stock to stock on fraying cheer, stages. I have stood in foreign basements; sweaty cellars of youth; begot by attitude breeding spaces of the hip; drawn circles searching for love in recreating nonsense: a silly pupil, moon-eyed, out of breathe. I have heard them quack, reveal their cords; heard them whisper a thousand and one secrets, heard them deconstruct their circumstances as pilgrims, penniless and sick. I have their memories now, an image of a depressed, ass-imprinted pillow soaked in liquor and a feeling of nausea where ribs sleep on this couch tonight, every night. I have heard one refute the weight of living, ****** on the banks of his best friends hospitality, and thought How much is it worth? And I have envied every **** greasy pored hipster, the ones fixing on makingitnew now kind of clan; stared blankly at fashion, a culture back door where pink fish scales sparkle high from runway halters to the tops of grown men, bearded and chesty. And your mothers pearls sit, not your mother’s pearls but your mother’s, mother’s pearls, that old world clout ornamented around those hairy ******* Oh yes, I have seen men become peacocks, charmed animals of ********** seen them teeth at discourse in the noise they create, wide-mouthed and pointed; I have seen them masked like frantic felines: wooly bully cats trying-to-roll their own meter, their tobacco stained black charcoal over soft bricked lips quiver to their beats: those painted lemmingings, without a parachute: kamikaze felons. I have desired absolute sterility: white china, in the egg of a toilet bowl I spewed out, shut-up my exuberance for the night; sorry-pleaded my resolutions to gag out the naughty nouns in my life. I have quit; turned in my lust for performing the lioness, paw-licking, snarly creature: the predator of my youth, and now, I am pretty-headed, tamed in bath oils and schedules; a spotted fox, in plain view, one medium-sized mammal getting by.

Dusk! With a creepy, tingling sensation you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! Bats! Glowing red eyes and glistening fangs, These unspeakable giant bugs drop into view.* Fibrous wings furred like a moth, Big ears are just a membranous extension of antennae. Flying in search of a flower’s pollen laden froth, Silent except for the hum and squeak of echolocation. Trap bats in attics, butterflies in nets. No rabies feared, no bedbug bites to itch. Clawed feet ****** and grab like praying mantis pincers; Bloated stomach slopes like a pudgy beetle. Jaws manipulate like an ant, excise like scissors; Soft hair rustles like a wooly caterpillar. They live in darkness, centipedes do too, Come out at night like cockroaches tend to. Skittering through the night like daddy long-legs, Noses snubbed like bumble bee faces. Wind turbines endanger bats, Like fans endanger lightning bugs. Only one percent of bats are vampiric, Like only a small percentage of spiders are poisonous. Dawn! With a creepy, tingling sensation you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! Bats! Bats are bugs, aren’t they?

"Son can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet And I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" Billy Joel lyrics from "Piano Man"* ~~~~~~~~~~~~ when I was very young I wore Levi jeans and white Hanes cotton T shirts my mother bot me, my feet, Ked clad, red from the kid's "department" store on Central Avenue, the Main Street of my small town when I was a young lad, I wore workingman's cargo jeans and white Hanes cotton T shirts under red plaid wooly shirts, itchy affairs, that I bot for myself in a real Army Navy store, desert colored suede boots, laced up high, upon my feet when I was of middling years, my jeans were khaki pants, Gap supplied, and my Gap T shirts, faded like me, a non-descript color, made in a gap of pale pastel colors from Bangladesh or Vietnam, pale pastel, like me so as I slide~decline into my nursing home years, I wear unbranded jeans and white cotton no name T shirts with matching white disposable slippers, that the Purchasing Department bot for me, cause they know, I like, a younger man's clothes and the memories that play all day lost in day dreaming of a life well dressed 2:01am

There is a sequence of small events, signs; that as they occur point us in the direction of the mid-winter festival. This morning: the first snow; iced rain, not the soft down-like floaty stuff, but hard crystal-shaped foot-crunching shards. Yesterday, it was on with the wooly hat, the padded waistcoat and a more than just sprightly walk in a park of leafless trees. Everywhere, a damp coldness.   Sitting companionably after the meal, a fire spitting in the hearth had brought a glow to her cheeks. She was replete with glowness, her speech dancing too and fro after the family phone calls of a Sunday night. Outside, the sound of wind against the house.   Settling herself against him, feet tucked under his reclining body, she tells him about her niece, a birthday girl just two last week. This little one was touchingly innocent of what happens on a birthday. She knew it was coming, next week, soon, then tomorrow. Imagine her the night before: just think you'll wake up and be two! And that's what this birthday business is? She wakes and there is something special in the air, her sister smile-full, bouncy with expectation. Her parents’ voices are louder than usual, there are bigger hugs and longer kisses.  Birthday, birthday, birthday. Her grandparents arrive. More hugs. THEN her father appears with a cake! It's only just after breakfast, but the large people are having coffee and there's her juice cup and a cake! Birthday, birthday, birthday shouts her sister. For me, a cake for me? My cake? Daddy lights the candles! Oh, oh, oh. This is . . .  and something wrapped in pretty paper is being handed to me. Her sister, being wonderfully sisterly shows her how to remove the wrapping. A book! Read it to me now, now, please. It's my birthday, now.   This is a sign he thinks later when in bed she folds herself to him, arranges his arms and hands to hold her into sleep, still glowing a little. This is surely a sign. A child's discovery of the birth day. The joy it brings, the way it lights up our lives. And never again will her father see quite that measure of surprise and delight in his daughter's face. Next year she'll be full of expectation, know all about birthdays  . . and be three.

LLimerick (1)
Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Pay attention to the chill, the chill is the most shivering fear of all. Down, down, down into the darkness of the chill, Gently it goes - the chill, the trembling, the unsteady. A thawing, however hard it tries, Will always be Melting. Does the thawing make you shiver? does it? The big winter sings like a Sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn Now cosmic is just the thing, To get me wondering if the winter is mature. wooly glaciers sings like Iceburgs "Rushing water", said the glaciers, And "rushing water" then "rushing water" again. How happy is the frozen popsicle! Does the popsicle make you shiver? does it? The freezing that's really crystals, Above all others is the frost. Does the frost make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Ice, Ice, every where, Yet not a drop to draft. How happy is the cold surface! Down, down, down into the darkness of the surface, Gently it goes - the perfect, the gelid, the stone-cold. Pay attention to the floe, the floe is the most Dence ice mass of all. Floe, floe, every where, Yet not a drop to drift. The thawing is like a gentle voice, it tends to cause significantly. Does the thawing make you shiver? does it? The athletic game that's really zany, Above all others is the hockey. Pause to assist, like the hockey does. It does assist, it does draft, Should it also induct? Why would you think the snowfall is gradual? the snowfall is the most sudden downfall of all. Pause to last, like the snowfall does. It does last, it does accumulate, Should it also range? I saw the the antarctic installation of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the water. I don't like the fact that it, learned to reside before it knew how to flow. You can reside, you can flow, but can you supply? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Does the Ice make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, it did kindly draft for me. Pause to draft, like the Ice does. Don't belive that the snowfall is small? the snowfall is big beyond belief. Never forget the braggy and large-scale snowfall. Pay attention to the cold, the cold is the most wintry respiratory disease of all. Are you upset by how springlike it is? Does it tear you apart to see the cold so frozen? I saw the the little demoralize of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the chill. Now small-scale is just the thing, To get me wondering if the chill is trivial. An iceman, however hard it tries, Will always be cunning. Are you upset by how adroit it is? Does it tear you apart to see the iceman so attractive? I saw the the Frozen excretion of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the water. Never forget the sleety and unchangeable water. Pay attention to the freeze, the freeze is the most Frozen fractals act of all. Does the freeze make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, they did kindly draft for me. Do Ice make you shiver? do they?

I saw the the little demoralize of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the chill. Now small-scale is just the thing, To get me wondering if the chill is trivial. An iceman, however hard it tries, Will always be cunning. Are you upset by how adroit it is? Does it tear you apart to see the iceman so attractive? I saw the the Frozen excretion of my generation destroyed, How I mourned the water. Never forget the sleety and unchangeable water. Pay attention to the freeze, the freeze is the most Frozen fractals act of all. Does the freeze make you shiver? does it? Because I could not draft for Ice, they did kindly draft for me. Do Ice make you shiver? do they?

We plucked eyebrows from the clover. Caterpillars contracting as we pinched each one between our plump baby fingers, expanding as we lined them on each other’s arms— wooly train cars. They would ripple blindly, segment by segment, scoot across the floor of the rusty coffee can we’d prepared for them so carefully— braided hairs of grasses, flowers, twigs, stones and all— a crude and cruel imitation of their clover, but certainly better, somehow. We were sure.

wooly mammoth
Swaying, Heat pressing into my skin, The same winged creature circling my face and then landing on the very tip of my nose, Air thick like a milkshake. When the rain comes, Landing with a thud, Like a bag of sand dropping from the roof of a house, The animals can breathe, I can breathe, Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Even the crickets let out a sigh, Pounding like a drum, Pounding like the same dream every ******* night, The capybaras and wooly monkeys with their hunched shoulders and squinting eyes, Let the branches and leaves heave around them, Verdant, And flashing, A globe of bubblegum, The rain always comes.

Even the crickets let out a sigh
“Cold snowflakes upon my arm the winter shine peeking through a crack in the blinds a breeze of ice engulfing the room through a window left ajar a land covered in a shiny white blanket.” Winter has come. Cue the thick padded coats and the parkas of every color of the rainbow! Behold the sleds and skis and the beautiful Siberian huskies who pull them. Await the closing of schools and the temperature drops, keeping people in and making children everywhere euphoric as ever. The time has come for skating upon rivers of ice, and joyous dinners in warm wooly sweaters as families gather around to indulge in the tastiest of food. Fireplaces shall again be lit in all households of old, and stockings hung up early in preparation for Christmas. Happy smiles all around, engaging in snowball fights and the building of snowmen. Ah but winter is as winter does. As numbers reach the negatives, heaters are turned up to the warmest possible, insulating the beings in a home and using electricity. What about those without a home? Those who are confined to the streets of the city, waiting for the cold to eat their bodies up and leave them in a state of rigidity? They are left to waste. Left to succumb to the bitterness of winter, with no sustenance whatsoever or any form of water to soothe their burning throats. The cold will conceal them in a cover of white death, a prison of snow. And in the early mornings of every winter-filled day, a machine is sent out to collect the bodies of those who have been imprisoned by the winter. The one operating the machine weeps silent tears for these ice prisoners before bringing their poor souls elsewhere. Winter is two-faced, and she is both beautiful and terrible as the morning and the night. (lunarlullubies)

Skinny is a feeling. The feeling of a necklace scrapping protruding collarbones, The feeling of rings slipping off thinning fingers, The feeling of sharp cheekbones slicing into skin, The feeling of hunger scratching stomachs, The feeling of jeans becoming baggy around pencil legs, The feeling of bald patches covered with wooly hats in summer, The feeling of sharp ankles balancing on scales, The feeling of needles in arms, The feeling of hospital blankets, The feeling of cold. But there’s no feeling in death.

Skinny
You bought me some good presents. Some lasting presents. A lasting presence, Now that you are gone. You always remarked on the light And now when I see sunlight, I think of you. You took me to the beach, Now when I see the beach, I think of you. You bought me a coffee machine And every morning as I get my hit I think of you. Winter scarves and hats Are wooly thoughts of you. Smoking out the window - Naughty thoughts of you. Trying not to smoke - A thought for you. Marmite on toast - I think of you. A pretty girl - Some other you. A naked girl - I try not to, but... I think of you So much more Now you are gone And I'm not sure If I will ever Not think of you Again. There's only one thing That could stop these thoughts - To be with... you again. Just you. You.

the plantation that housed both my body mind soul had fallen on hard times.union soldiers had plundered the crops and taken every thing worth stealing.when word spread from plantation  to plantation that president abreham Lincoln had something called the emancipation prolimantion  that set us fre and we were no longer enslaved . able bodied and once docile slaves ran of in all directions  but I stayed behind with the old and spirit weary faithful who seemed dazed and listless.my mistres was the only white face among us.i still wore the faint imprint of the daily chains worn like bracelets .that spring day in the kitchen while preparing black coffee and biscuits the little left for mistress and me I felt eager white hands on my breasts,than the cloth shirt hiding my nakedness was ripped away as pink hard manhood invaded my insides.the intense pain rocked all senses and tears flooded out like a dam unloosed.my screams bounced off each enclosed wall.yet no one came to make it stop.as he rode the waves of his personal pleasure my shut  off mind could see visions of running through creek beds and swimming through rivers with a knapsack with two linen shirts two pairs of pants one jacket one pair of shoes one pair of socks parting gifts from my mistress tied atop my wooly head and most of al being able to sing with a loud free voice a song yet sung.

SONG YET SUNG BY VICTOR TRIPP
The Marshmallows decided to have a top Party Dressed gaily in white, pink, red, green and yellow They mingled and floated around looking arty-farty We're going to dance in town not partying in a garage And guess what, We won't invite Toffee he's not like us Go melt and burn says Toffee with rightful disdain who wants to party with a bunch of soft silly buffoons Overblown and presumptuous you lot melt in the rain Nothing to you all but egging and hot air you poltroon Who wants to dance with mixed up softies with no brains I am Toffee hot and hard and always ready for the bite You can't lick me in a hurry and I take a while to crack I am brown with brawn and brains and ready to fight Got rhythm with the moves, tastes and flavours top whack Not some boring twirls or stumps gathered together tight Come try me if you dare and see me squash you down flat I'll go into you hard your softness yielding like knife on butter Can marsh you with my strength till you're nothing but mellow Or stick to your puffy wooly state and squeeze you still flatter Till you beg and squeal your surrender showing you're shallow I am not like you and don't think, see, look or taste like you I am brown and sweet, hard and chewy and I really don't care For emulsified vain brainless no substance marshmallow tools Who can only be brave and big when all packed together like So go party and kid yourselves softies I don't party with fools
