Gravity
So…
I’m waiting on a bus
Talking to this strawberry blonde
w/ iridescent sapphire eyes
& silky snow white skin
Wondering why a she-devil-angel-rainbow-princess
Hasn’t been thrown my way
One w/ long sharp velvet claws
& wings that cut through
My self-centered indecision like razors
I’ve seen hints of her existence
Nestled brightly in the shadows
Of what some might call Heaven
She’s got wild waterfalls of hair
Where
Childlike dreams smile sweetly
In their sleep
Safe in the blanket
In the warm sunshine
Of her gravity

I’m Not PC
I’m not PC
I’m an equal opportunity offender
Don’t care about your race, class, sexual proclivities or gender
I myself oozed out of an amped up philosophic blender
My first act was to wipe off the stamp that said
“Return To Sender”
I’m not PC
Ask my boss… I’m more like PO-ed, tinkled
I mean sprinkled thru w/ bitterly amused
& more than willing to
test your tolerance for being abused
By my humor or my caustic dipped in poison well honed tongue…
when my little world feels bruised
I find the moment or it finds me
Heaven and Hell don’t need eternity
I’m not PC
I’m not white, I’m melanically challenged
My busted heart pumps blood that’s red
Thru my poisoned brain in my damaged head
& to top it off, sometimes my balls are blue
I’m an all American
Emotional terrorist built for two
The years are twisted and fed
By the number of times I shoulda been dead
& I’m smiling at the vague shadowy memory
Of some half-lived fantasy that reaches out for me
But has yet to be…
Then genitalia in a bear trap irony
Rudely wakes me from my dreamed of reality
At the supermarket checkout line
The tabloid headline
Assaults my whys and whens with
“Some of your co-workers may be space aliens”
I’d be more surprised if some were not, but that
Aside, what do I do with the time I’ve got?
Satanic Romantic Charming Alarming Comic Bit
Call it what you want
I’m still the same old dude
Pulling the same old shit
Making my life performance art
& calling myself a Poet

Beauty Dances
Beauty walks beside her
In a gentle sisterhood
She shines through mediocrity
With a sunshine all her own
I see her dancing
To a drummer I can almost hear

Hi There!
So here we are, meeting again for the first time… Because even if you know me, this is a side of me that generally stays home, doesn’t get out or travel about much. That being said, I’m almost house trained, and if you so desire, you can follow me through moonlit wanderings among living shadows to, into, and sometimes through days with unpredictable conditions, weather and whether not to return, undetermined, because I just roll the way I’m inclined.
