Dirty Dogs...
Dirty dogs are best
don't have to teach them new tricks
they know what to do
don't have to teach them new tricks
they know what to do

snakes
There’s a Norman Rockwell family,
classic family of four --
They’re smiling aggressively
from the calendar on my door.
Maybe it's your family
Playing nice over yams and pies
Smiles flashing manically
but never reaching the eyes
Let's not bicker
Pour the liquor
Blood is thick
the tensions thicker
It's our own familiar brand of crazy
So we do whatever it takes
There's dysfunction
In the gravy...
Hey baby, pass the snakes

dear dup
it's difficult writing this knowing this has been home for five years where i have shared my experiences with many of you, letting go is hard but beginning a new journey can also be beautiful.
i understand i was more of a quiet member and some may argue that my form of writing isn't considered poetry at all, but it was always a joy to return to a place
where i could share and read endless experiences from different walks of life, even individuals that have turned into life long friends and share a space in my heart if they wish to remain there & i believe those...

Someone Exploded
put first things first
priorities
that's this month's social emotional learning focus
on a good day
five or six kids connect with the lesson
the rest sneak Cheetos
and draw pictures of dicks
this morning
was no exception
until suddenly Ahmad
ran frantically for the doot
fanning his face furiously
I'm sorry
he tells me
but...
someone exploded
Eww, it was Naqiyah says Jeremy
No it wasn't you black monkey!
shouts...

Ozzy Osbourne, Voice of Reason
Ozzy wants to go home
says the gun violence in America
is *ucking crazy
he wonders how many more school children
are going to be killed
how many more concert goers open fired on
like in Las Vegas
he's "fed up"
with people getting killed every day
Ozzy Osbourne has more sense
than half of America
"There's nothing united anymore
about the United States"
wisely states the former Sabbath frontman
with an unusually wild past
"America has changed so drastically"
Eccentric old Ozzy

The Ten Commandments of DUP
thou shalt not be a twat
for a twat is a person of great stupidity
thou shalt not be a troll
for a troll only lives to manipulate
thou shalt not be a prick
for a prick is full of nothing more than spite
thou shalt not be a bully
for a bully is someone who hides insecurities
thou shalt not be an ass
for an ass only talks shit with no explanation
thou shalt not be narcissistic
for you will forever be left playing with yourself
thou shalt not be a shit-starter

Where is the moon
It should be full
No shadows
Yet spirits pull.
Evil that lurks
Cautious and confused
Cosmic forces
are amused.

Chaos
people love being used
by a man in a suit
worldwide hysteria created
for ones own benefit
the story of time
promises made
for you to keep wishing it to be true
relinquishing control
hoping for one day euphoria
but lies is all you'll ever get
political tactics
I’m beyond you!
domestic madness
I’m beyond you!
propaganda media 24/7
I’m beyond you!, beyond you!
(BrInG oN tHe ChAoS!!)
get down on your knees
never questioning the abuse
distorted history from a story book ...

The Epilogue
I was borne as a sketch
A rough draft...skitted into a script
Lingering..languishing
In the aftermath of ingenious engineering
It's an uncanny thing
To co-exist within the { con-fines }
Of salutations and lamentations
I knew rite from wrong
From early on
Intuitively
Chasing an itch
I could never scratch....beneath the surface
Of my dwelling
{ human conditioning }
Sure has a way of taking its toll
Upon the Soul ...

My Life Through My Eyes... (Proverbs)
I am stiff, sore, my ankle is a tad swollen, but not as painful as it was hours ago.
I surprised myself on 11-06-22 with sheer determination after fracturing my right ankle that resulted in a medical leave of absence for six weeks from my Nursing Administrative duties, and my second place of employment as a Behavorial Health Counselor, the setback to run in Ohio, a marathon, which I have not missed in years, and physical strain and pain when training for the New York marathon under limited mobility of a leg.
Then the physical therapy sessions three times a week,...

Prophecy Of The Gun
it was the immaculate conception
inconceivable as it was
me being birthed from the womb
of man's ideology
motherless
never nurtured from the essence off her femininity
an umbilical cord just a figment of
my sentimental imagination
i arrive as a prophet in my own right
and though i have not walked on water
i have ceremoniously baptized countless
in pools of their own blood
for i am the axis upon which
fear and love revolve around in perpetuity ...

Because the Night Belongs to Lust
Black shirt moon unbuttons
Hooks of the gallows,
Dreamers tighten the noose
Taut is the breath of night-rope walker,
Arched Angels bend arrows towards
Moonbeams,
Quiver o’ mouths
Lip-synch spectral
Voices to split her atom
Guttering flame of red negligee,
Dark roses to midnight burst open
As fireweed splays woodland.
Rhythm-mortis...
Hooks of the gallows,
Dreamers tighten the noose
Taut is the breath of night-rope walker,
Arched Angels bend arrows towards
Moonbeams,
Quiver o’ mouths
Lip-synch spectral
Voices to split her atom
Guttering flame of red negligee,
Dark roses to midnight burst open
As fireweed splays woodland.
Rhythm-mortis...
