Non Binary
She said she wants
To be called them and they
She asked me
Mom is that ok
Yes baby girl
You can be anything
You want in this world
But I want you to understand
Today you make a choice
And this is in your hands
Some people will be confused
Some will be mean
And some may bully you
The people my age
Could have a hard time with it
I have always had
Two sons and two daughters
I may sometimes forget
I won't be mad at you, she said
So Mom, don't worry
If you get...
To be called them and they
She asked me

But I want you to understand
Today you make a choice
And this is in your hands

Some will be mean

Arise
Coming to realize that I cannot be anyone or anything that they want me to be or even I may wish or dream to be awakens reality born from fantasy's corpse, fertilized with the truth that never was or could be .

DRUGS POEM

Day Gone
Sun rays up and down
A day
It moves on and
Years can't change
They trying to be
Some place
The way
Where day go?
No time that stays
Day gone away
Sky gets high and low
All day
Eyes well up and
Tears don't play
They crying to see
Some face
They say
Where day go?
This time the same
Day gone away
When four o'clock
Is nothing well
And twenty times
Go back to hell
Day lose the fight
To cold and black
Where day go ...
A day
It moves on and
Years can't change
They trying to be
Some place
The way
Where day go?
No time that stays
Day gone away
Sky gets high and low
All day
Eyes well up and
Tears don't play
They crying to see
Some face
They say
Where day go?
This time the same
Day gone away
When four o'clock
Is nothing well
And twenty times
Go back to hell
Day lose the fight
To cold and black
Where day go ...

Visiting Parris Island
I looked for your face today
Searching a sea of green
Scrolling scrolling
I catch my breath
Stop and enlarge the view
That kinda looks like you
But not the right chin
Scrolling again
Maybe that one's right
He seems to match
your height
Is he my baby?
My wonderful son?
Yes today, I decide
You are the one
The one to be
my hope and joy
The man in the picture
That left home as a boy
I'm thrilled to see you
I can't control the tears
Yet, I have to be strong
This journey you've...

I woke up with tears today
but I'm choosing to wipe them away.
Instead, my heart and face will shine in a joyful display,
As I feel pride for my son
And give God all the praise.
Congratulations, Marine graduates.
Oorah! Semper Fi!
Hallelujah! and Hooray!!!

Snapshot Memory
After supper
I wash dishes
He bags up the trash
Soft radio waves play
One that we both love
And I laugh
When he sings
See him smiling at me
And I think to myself
This is how
It's supposed to be

Back At Ya
Howdy hey
I've come back to say
That I've missed all y'all
And I'm finally ok
I'm living again
I'm doing amazing
And feeling great
I've bought myself
A little place
Hanging out with the kids
Seeing smiles every day
And I've even found
My long lost love
The proverbial one
That got away
It feels like I'm standing
Inside a dream
Because I can't believe
All the good
That's happening for me
So I wait for the floor
To fall away
As the fear tries
To creep in again
To...

Just A Piece
I don't know how
it works for you
I see a story unfold.
Strings of characters
pass through and
locations, languages
conversations, all
take a place in there.
I am simply a phantom
passing through to
witness this moment
and take what I can
Grab words and descriptive, quickly!
Don't let them get lost
Repeat, repeat
Say it again
I need paper and pen!
So much is going on around me.
I must write everything down as I remember it before I forget
how it goes and , shit!
What was the next line? ...

Bye Bye Baby
There is a man
Who sits with his head
In his hands and rocks
Like a baby
But doesn't sleep
Because he
Keeps thinking
Things
In blood spatter
Repeating patterns
Questioning
Thinking things
Remembering
While he rocks
Deciphering and
Deciding
Questions need
Answering
Thinking and
Rocking
Getting no where
Sitting there
With his hands
And head
Heavy
Just like his
Heart and spirit
Weighed by the years
Spent traveling here ...
Who sits with his head
In his hands and rocks
Like a baby
But doesn't sleep
Because he
Keeps thinking
Things
In blood spatter
Repeating patterns
Questioning
Thinking things
Remembering
While he rocks
Deciphering and
Deciding
Questions need
Answering
Thinking and
Rocking
Getting no where
Sitting there
With his hands
And head
Heavy
Just like his
Heart and spirit
Weighed by the years
Spent traveling here ...

Likes And Desires
(Inspired)
I like the rain
Desire the smell
afterwards
I like reading
Desire a story that's
Captivating
I like singing
Desire someone
To sing with
I like dessert
Desire pie
Any kind
I like the Autumn
Desire colorful leaves
And Halloween
I like love
Desire finding it
Again
I like the rain
Desire the smell
afterwards
I like reading
Desire a story that's
Captivating
I like singing
Desire someone
To sing with
I like dessert
Desire pie
Any kind
I like the Autumn
Desire colorful leaves
And Halloween
I like love
Desire finding it
Again
