LeftoversFrom the last mealYou made meKept me companyWhen you couldn’t. They tasted likeMist after a driving rainThat presses itselfThrough thin clothingAnd leaves youShivering.

Blinds
Does no one see the clouds roll by?Just took a snapshot on the fly,Trusting fixed positions lieWhen everything is moving. You depend on what you need,Feel naked when you lose your speed,Bless the chains but dream to be freed,Humans are improving.
Waking
Woke up halfway thru a poem,And nothing was rhyming.Are you afraid of dying, the boy asked,No, I’ll go on a little while. Walked to Kansas and backFrom my bedroom,Glinting light bouncing off the walls,Excavating dreams that made meMore than I’d been before,Wondering just how large the ego getsBefore it disappears. The boy sat still.Don’t expectContinue reading “Waking”
Gallop
And the day will comeAnd then will be goneAnd you did what you waited to doAnd moved on, And the reckoning cameAnd went just as fastBecause nothing no nothingIn this little world lasts, And you faced the demonThe moment of truth,But you kept on runningChasing your youth, And looking for somethingBeyond your noseThe shape ofContinue reading “Gallop”
Debt
Why do you say father And not the soil?Each minute particleTo consciously or unconsciouslySay yes to, but do we? Or do we preen insteadAnd abdicateKnowledge blindly passedTo the other particles So that no one can Distinguish his brotherTo say thank you.
Language Differences
Men report,Women engage,Gossip like velcroHook and assuage.Deepen the dialogue,Finding the matter,Undressing some falsehood,Or harmless natter? Men on the other handMonolog acts,Contract with business talk,Moving the tacks.How many achievementsThose were all mine,How many badges,For how much trying. Women use ground water,And circle their harvests,Men shoot their arrowsAnd only hit targets.
Small Complaint
I have this little ear thing,It makes me kind of deaf.If you would like to reach me,Speak not unto my left. My right-hand side still hears okay,Except upon occasion,When I don’t like the things you sayAnd need a quick evasion. I have this little defectI can’t remember words,Like ‘regiment’ and ‘labrynthe’,My speech is quite absurd.Continue reading “Small Complaint”
Cops and Robbers
Cops and robbers, C’mon let’s play!We’ll stand for justice,Save the day! The robbers can be black folk,Underlings,Who always seem to get away With some damn thing, Not planned by meOr by my heirs,Let’s see them try itIf they dares. We can hit a targetMake it dropThat’s what makes us Such great cops. A target’s a targetAm I right?NoContinue reading “Cops and Robbers”
The Mind of Faith
The mind of faithIs no mind at allIt is heart.It is giving overArrogance, greed, stupidityThe mind thinks it needs,Because that’s what the mind doesIt thinks and overthinksBut thinking is not is,Thinking won’t make it so,Thinking without heartWithout faith is useless lala,Only the heart can know.
No Difference
No differenceBut another day,Yet, if you blewThe dust away,You’d see the splendorFrom the gray,And kneel beforeIts light. Same cerealIn same old bowl,And what exactly Was your goal?To not turn toA kitchen troll,But energize The fight. Same samenessIs the product of,The safety netYou stand above,Securely fits youLike a glove,And keeps awayThe night. But oh, the EarthShinesContinue reading “No Difference”
