Lipstick Redemption
When Christmas comes in Natchez, the biggest surprise isn’t under the tree. My friend from grade school sports a long ponytail with curls dangling from his bangs. So maybe he’s going for the Bohemian look. He has always been a non-conformist down to his shoulder-length hair.
So is it any surprise that we celebrate Xmas eve by smoking pot in the upstairs of his family’s Victorian house? He says, “John, hope this doesn’t come as any shock to you but I think I was assigned the wrong gender.”
“Don, nothing you could do or say would shock...

I'm In Love With Jason
Friday The Thirteenth
I have my sexy lingerie and my stilettoes on
Sipping on my Chardonnay while listening to my favorite song
Suddenly I hear the echoing ring of the telephone
I pick it up, who’s there
Freddie Krueger, your handsome Elm Street nightmare
Ahh...I’m sorry, I’m tied up
Is Jason over there again, tasting the sweet elixir from your lover’s cup
Yes, he’s the man for me, as you can see
He uses his hard machete in places I can only imagine in my dreams
That hockey mask when it comes off,...

Pig in a Web scene 10 & 11 (Meet Tommy and friends)
Scene 10:
Willy wakes slowly in a dim barn to the sound of muttering, whining, and shouting coming from a caged rat in a corner.
Tommy: Haveaheart… like a brain fart… hearty-heart, heart, har…. WHY GOD? WHY? How long have I been in here this time? I'm dying! Water! Food…. eggs… eggs is how I got here! I hate you geese! I'm gonna eat your babies! You hear me, you ugly birds!?!

A Gentleman
is not made of riches
or material possessions
strong or perfect physique;
he's trustworthy and loyal
dedicated and dependable
honest and direct
doesn't mean he can't make mistakes
but, accepts responsibility for choices
confesses them openly, never blames
A Gentleman does not play victim
during dire circumstances
befalling his existence:
he maturely adapts--
accepts that which
he cannot change;...

Remember...Remain Calm, Collected, And Cool...
Matthew Scott Harris...ARG
This, a near imp
possible mantra to apply
when this 2009
Macbook Pro went awry
triggering this enduser
to experience tidal waves of high
anxiety, which besieged this fie
foo fighting dirt po' pa well nigh,
who might need buy
another laptop, yet my
anorexic checking account
on life support, no lie
could not afford, (to sigh
phone even one red cent,
all because ordinary healthy
electrons deployed aye
did NOT see usual expected

Unfiltered Free Writing
Pray for strength, get tested. Pray for courage and get sent to the lion’s den. Why have I allotted more weight to the opinions and experiences of others when we all live beneath a firmament, in a mirage obscured by static? Where’s the balance between me and them? Do I have to choose a side in every scenario? It seems easier to be a fence straddle, but then I’ll be forever stuck up on that fence. Do I choose me? Isn’t that narcissistic? I am codependent not narcissistic. That means I struggle with an addiction to others, maybe the counterbalance is trusting myself after all. I don’t know what...

Destine
Fallen Angels building a ladder
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Working while singing a siren's song
Pulling the innocent from right to wrong
Cerberus nipping at their heels to move the herd
Hela wants to sing but forgot the words
Medusa cracking a whip to speed things up
Sisyphus has depression and he's in a rut
Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed, strapped to a rock
I IS ME, the vulture, tears at his heart
Gabriel's on...

Breaking Up
Some of the simplest things seem hardest to do
I could've spent more time or remembered, "I Love You"
Walking through life, following the same old lines
You giving me yours and me keeping mine
Simple conversation easy going at first
Soon emotions unravel ending in an outburst
There's a lot to happen between now and tomorrow
Things that can't be changed like hurt and sorrow
Saying, " I don't care if you leave"
Was more than both could believe
But loud mouths with tempers flaring
Won't allow compromise, no more sharing
...

Food For Thought
Food for Thought
Not speaking in reference to store bought
A feast to enjoy and pleasing to the eyes
A treasure island appeases for a tongue’s licking surprise
Belly as you lay
A silken buffet to parlay
Calloused palms gently caressing upon smooth thighs
Explicit moaning weakening outcries
Seesawing pelvic against the rotating anchoring tides
Shutting in pleasure of one’s bedroom brown eyes
Elevate my body, pass the stars
Venus’ pussy awaiting a tongue fixation from Mars
Ecstasy floating among the celestial skies ...
