POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
.:A Full Green Adage:.
C’mon now...C’mon & test me
You can Succotash c’mon and get messy
Every Womb of Mind needs to Honor Her Veggie
Need forget about them Reggie, them Gino them Bill
Carnivores don’t prop doors and they never will
A Vegan Man works cautiously on how to fulfill
Whatever rocks symmetrical is part of the thrill
The Fire within supports all that He do
Then She’ll do what He gives
Then the Buzz is for 2
Live Mood; same as Food needs to flourish from soil
Tempered just right without over boil
To have a Raw Ball one’s...

.:Eyes...From Doting to Dotting:.
Yes, we were...”was”
As in.. supposed to be that hot item
I had ‘em...you’d light ‘em. An improvement
Our movement equating a better investment
But lately almost innately
You’ve been acting kind of desperate
Somewhat distant, almost hesitant
You’ve only shown me what less meant
Used to whisper how much my touch was heaven sent
And now for that kind of time can’t seem to make a dent
Seems you’ve been striving while conniving
Clocking my arriving right along with my leaving
Telling you girl, me thinks it’s me you’ve been deceiving...

.:Brave, The Bulls:.
Curious.
More so than heroic
Yet, she's always been the brave
Never fathomed anyone needing to be a slave
Fondly remembered as one being “Oh So Cute”
Numero uno, the first one out the chute
Si, she was their very first-born
Willing to grab any bull, that proverbial horn
Then her three brothers; they all came shortly after
Adding to the storyline in and out of each chapter
While she’d be the joker with that infectious laughter
The boys tried hard, but hardly ever zapped her
It was...follow the leader like Poppi & Granddad before...

.:Palms Spring Up All Night:.
I.
We’ve all been sent that Signature Sign
You got yours; I got mine
Received it...First class right on time
The one that’s asserting Satan's divine
Yet for sure this is not about a victim-less crime
So Please. Don’t tease. Just un-wind
Need to discover what’s called the Dawn’s Early Light
For most, if not all, we just wanna write
See we’re into these Last Days of The Glorious Insight
Bad Brokers broke trying to take flight
Yes, here we are again.
Catching the Flow of The Bob-A-Long grin ...

.:The M2TheEL Baja Transporter:.
Pull up a chair; we’ll review right here
Focus on some facts while we drink root beer
Paper clips replacing solder? Yeah, we took a chance
That’s what one does when you’ve spent up the advance
This patchwork of peanut butter turned destined to run amuck
We calculated, verified, this craft was nip & tuck
But the gears didn’t mesh; we’re thinking it’s the crank
Pistons sounding funny another trip to the bank
The 4x4 rubber, now all four have a flat
Goodyear, Goodrich; bad break with all that
So we’ll ride on the rims, pull it with some...

the feeble, the funky
the famous
the wise
singed
hearts & minds
she owned them guys
no surprise
taupe colored Levis cutoff at the thighs
she wore ‘em real snug
just the right size
genuinely paramount
to each slick pose
what often arose was a dream sans clothes
image of an unyielding grasp of style
sex appeal with
so much zeal
and
had it for awhile
upon her arrival she had that loot survival?
yet hers was more like swag

.:Draining in the Drain:.
It’s as dark as one can get on this corner and
I’m once again into this placement of self-debasement
here laying on this street; head parallel with defeat
I’m just another anybody and I’m barely stirring
still hard to believe this is all occurring as
I’m laying here face down in this gutter
draining in the drain as I lay here & mutter
sounds emanate; passersby
perhaps they hear as I extrapolate
this happens as my face is pressed hard
sub-sanity wielding gravity; this
this as I’ve jacked and flipped a losing card ...

.:Salty (The Pepper Remix):.
What do you mean? E’vil has never loved you like I do?
C’mon Boo, that’s so untrue. Are you crazy for real?
Here’s the real deal. I’m now talking mad-lad-sex-appeal
The ways & means on how we really wanna feel
For real...Yeah, you think not? Let’s look at what we got
No, not at all too hot, really...It’s damn near silly
So here we are... Here with our cipher broken
Hands on that neck, yours; I could’ve been choking
Knowing you know I wished we were stroking
That last time, couldn’t believe “No poking”
Guess you’re just an Abstaining...

this
architecture
happens to have character
and its more than a shelter; its a
habitat with texture and
for the life found here; it’s a
very special lair
a place to reflect; such "an awful lot there"
sheets of tired shingle lain overhead
keeps the elements at bay
what else can
be said
this is a place
that grows on the mind
a deepening chill spot; a place to sip time
to savor that taste; to garner one’s worth
to access one’s mood; each
fueled moon’s birth
whereas the...

just about; almost brunch time and
he’s about ready to
climb & dine
he works the dumpsters; the boxes
the ones by the back doors
strictly Styrofoam
forget them apple cores
partially inside, almost
down on all fours
no vegan, no begging
this is about that leftover bacon
maybe some half eaten fish sandwich
a salmon search, one he can manage
that tartar sauce; he’ll act like he’s famished
maybe cops a few from the fat cat who’s full
that’s his best bet; usually
the rule
meantime it’s...

two wars
10 plus years
that’s alotta damn tears
alotta bud, alotta beers
the way it went down
the way the treasure got spent
the way the facts
the way they got bent
all of it.. how it all went
~that-a-way~
and now its the fade away
and some would say
some went above and
beyond the call
some of ‘em, we just
watched ‘em fall
slouched over here & there
ain't none of it fair
tripping along the surface
looking ill-advised and nervous
this set, this deal
