POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am Jermaine Isaiah Duncan from Bowie. Poetry is my blood
The Whistlings
Against the Whistlings
of Being a Beauty
death circles the music of black wounds
Rumble vision
Savor life’s flesh drift
Oh, the bones
They hurl our mother’s body
Into our dreams
Wet and sticky
of Being a Beauty
death circles the music of black wounds
Rumble vision
Savor life’s flesh drift
Oh, the bones
They hurl our mother’s body
Into our dreams
Wet and sticky

Working In A Nursing Home
This one time
I stole prescription medications
From a terminally ill cancer patient
When I was working as a male nurse
I’d water down the morphine
And save it up
To get a full dose
Then stumble around
Doped up caring for elderly dopes
Rendered stupid with age
Wreaking of piss and shit
I didn’t have no regrets until this one day
When Old Man Hickums says to me
Jermaine... I hurt. I hurt so bad
And I wondered, is this the illness
Or the watered down morphine
Or some combination of the two?

Chicken Fried
When I was a pup
My daddy took me to the circus
To give the the old “birds and bees” talk
About the differences
In women’s pussies
It was a couple months after mom passed
And I relished the chance of having some father & son bonding time
As he was often gone
Banging strange and blowing lines
As one does when suddenly back on the market
I asked dad if I could have some funnel cake
“Not for 5 dollars,” he said
But I offered to throw in my monthly allowance of three bucks and he shrugged his shoulders and said “Go on...

Mango Chutney
Dear Coconut Shrimp,
I ain’t saying you ain’t tasty
And I ain’t trying to be nasty
I’m just saying you’d taste better
With a dash of my Mango Chutney
Sweet and sticky
Translucent and delicious
What say you, my precious?
Care for some Mango Chutney?
Cover yourself
From head to fin
In that sweet chutney
That comes from within (me)
I’ll eat you up regardless
But a little bit of flavor
Didn’t kill nobody
Sincerely,
J.I.Duncan of Bowie
P.S. I got other dipping sauces if...

A Woman’s Work
Nowadays women get very emotional
When you suggest they good at some things
I ain’t saying you HAVE to do nothing
Look at me? A man writing poems?
Kinda gay right? Well... as a matter of fact
Yes it is! I’m a gay man.
But even if I wasn’t, would that mean I can’t write poems?
No... it just means I gotta try a little harder
Jesus gave us gifts, but they different gifts
Women lifting logs?
It’s not as easy for them
But it’s not like they don’t have strengths
Women are AMAZING at some things
I know this well ...

The Mountain
I’ve got mountains to climb
I’ve got eagles to fly with
I’ve got fires to walk through
I’ve got time out of mind
I’ve drank oceans of sorrow
I’ve made plans for tomorrow
I’ve written novellas
For all of the fellas
But I still have poems to write
And paintings to paint
And first time lovers
Who wait to discover
The flavor of sweat
from my taint
So Carpe Diem
Let’s get down with James Brown
And reach the apex
Of our dreams Tonight
I’ve got eagles to fly with
I’ve got fires to walk through
I’ve got time out of mind
I’ve drank oceans of sorrow
I’ve made plans for tomorrow
I’ve written novellas
For all of the fellas
But I still have poems to write
And paintings to paint
And first time lovers
Who wait to discover
The flavor of sweat

And reach the apex

I Know Why The Caged Bird Flings
Quarantine
Every day, exactly the same
Jerk off to off kilter Internet porn
Scan the computer for viruses
Rinse, repeat
Log on to Facebook
Racists everywhere you turn
I got nothing else going on
Lemme flex a little
Prepare for Jermaine’s brain dick
It’s gonna violate some simpletons
In their God shaped holes
Now back to internet porn
Can I hold an erection
On this stepped on cocaine?
I’m gonna try
I ain’t a quitter
But I gotta get some sleep
And I got a long day tomorrow
Doing more of...

Jermaine’s Pain
Misunderstood
It seems I’m always
Misunderstood
Try as I may
I’m Misunderstood
Ain’t that a shame?
Misunderstood
My words are
Misunderstood
Gone too far
Misunderstood
But this is poetry, Dollface
Hate the player not the game
What’s so toxic about having a cock
That Jesus made a little thicker
You speak of truth
But you lack the courage to dig deeper
And wanna crucify a brother
For tackling hard issues
I’m no stranger to oppression
But mark me, sugar lumps,
I’d sooner...
