Only When the Rain Falls on Your Head
To the ears of the unhearing
Screams go unheard
Unnoticed
Like a whisper in a whirlwind
Only when the tornado removes the roof of the pampered and privileged
And only as torrents fall upon and tarnish a closet full of Armani's finest
and rain ruins that $400 hairdo
Will those who look away
Finally look at what was happening all around them all along
As the water rises higher inside the walls of a now roofless bowl that was once an impenetrable fortress
We,
who have learned to swim the raging rivers,
shall see if that...

Hypothetically
If I speak of sex
Yet, "Still show some respect"
May I place my lips on your shoulders and neck?
If I ask which touches
Bring you most delight
Will you tell me
And show me
On this very night?
Should my words turn brave
And I ask for your lips
Will your kiss trace the same path
As your fingertips?
Over my shoulders
Teasing my face and spine
Will your breath on my skin run my heart double time
If I ask for your touch
Would my wish be too much?
Will you place your hands on me
Cause...
Yet, "Still show some respect"
May I place my lips on your shoulders and neck?

1000 Acres For Sale in Burke County
There's a certain magic in wide open spaces
Covid-19
Cases spiking
Wondering who
the next victim might be
People hiding
Pundits lying
Panic
Hand wringing
Swearing
Crying
Closed in spaces
Yield more cases
Social distance
Wide open spaces
Cities
Cruise ships
Condos

A house

Whiskey Kisses
Evan Williams
in Peach
Crown Royal
I'll take it Straight, Apple, or Vanilla
Tennessee Honey
American Honey
Jim Beam
give me
the Devil's Cut
And, sometimes,
Kilbeggan
For those odd, international moments
not really a Jameson's fan
Ain't nuthin like the burn
Like the fire,
with it's underlying sweet
Like the way it sets my mind at ease
and my body at rest
as it melts away the tension of my day
Like bacon fat in a frying pan right before I slap three, crispy...

Civil, Not Civilised
I'm a civil man
I'm not civilized
Behind that word
The Wicked and Cowardly hide
I'll not ask another man
To do my dirty work
To strike blows
and be struck
Bear my pain and my hurt
If you touch me
I touch back
and I will not stop
Not seeking a saviour
Not calling no cops
I'll saddle my own horse
Gon stomp my own snakes
I'll handle my problems
Whatever it takes
I understand living
And I know what a life's worth
I'm a civil man
but if I dish it
I can take it ...
I'm not civilized
Behind that word
The Wicked and Cowardly hide
I'll not ask another man

Value of a Dollar
100 pennies
10 dimes
20 nickels
4 quarters
2-50cent pieces
Or any combination of the above
or one Susan B. Anthony
or one Sacajawea
or one George Washington himself
I learned to count before entering school
Could recognize and name change pieces by age 6
Learned basic math before learning to read
Made it a point to demonstrate my number skills to all the adults in my life every chance I got
Then one day grandpa asked me if I knew the value of a dollar

The Birth of an Outlaw
Too old to start making waves
But seen too much to keep going along to just get along
This is the Birth of an Outlaw
Used to be a Rightie
Now I'm SouthPaw
And if you've seen the Shit that I saw
Then you too
Might be an Outlaw
You see,
They shot that little boy dead
(Tamir Rice)
No more Dr. Seuss
Or tucked in bed
Body in the streets
His blood is Red
"My Baby!!" is what his mama said
They killed that girl (Atatiana Jefferson) in her house
She was babysitting ...

Callus on my Soul
Workn with my hands, leaves tough places on my hands after the blisters heal. This tough spot makes the next round of work hurt less, if at all.
Now a Callus on my Soul, comes after years of trying to rise, to elevate, to be at one with my Creator; yet banging, and rubbing, and scraping against a religion that does more to stifle my spirit than to bring me closer to the God who lovingly awakens me every day.

Big
Scary
Potentially dangerous
But harmless
Entertaining and thrilling
Cuz there ain't nothing to really fear
Few things are more emotionally painful, stressful, and draining to a man than having to acquiesce to disrespect or attitude from someone who is not smarter, or more capable, than he is and/or also cannot whip his ass.
I'm sure you've all heard that "Stress is the mind overriding the body's desire to choke the Shit out of some FukkHedd who desperately needs it!!"

My Body Remembers
The sight of you moves me
It calms and it soothes me
Sends flashes of fire
Like lightning right thru me
Excitement and pleasure
Beyond simple words
The sight of you thrills me
Like few things ever before
And each time you touch me
Brings back everything I've felt
from every contact we have shared
I look at you and I'm awestruck
You are gorgeous
Pretty-skinned
And shapely
And thick
When we're apart I close my eyes
to recall how the sun shone on your face
How you smiled ...
It calms and it soothes me
Sends flashes of fire
Like lightning right thru me
Excitement and pleasure
Beyond simple words
The sight of you thrills me
Like few things ever before
And each time you touch me
Brings back everything I've felt
from every contact we have shared
I look at you and I'm awestruck
You are gorgeous
Pretty-skinned
And shapely
And thick
When we're apart I close my eyes
to recall how the sun shone on your face
How you smiled ...

Slipping Into Darkness
Is the joyful experience of fucking a Black Ass Girl who loves you as much as you love her
Of losing yourself in a woman whose sexy skin tone is as perfectly dark as newly pressed asphalt
Shimmering black in a light summer rain
It is the sublime pleasure of being pulled into the depths of the most delicious chocolate delights
It is unequaled satisfaction
And the purest, ultimate ecstasy
From being submerged in the sweetness of the perfect brownness of Serena Williams
And the triple fudge magnificence of Selena Willis, born Selena Ruth...
