POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Concision and Paradox are my weapons of choice. I'm a haiku fiend and an imagist.
IGNORANCIES (SICK)
BELLIGNORANT:
Belligerently
ignorant: "All lives matter"
as racist defense
---
REPUGNORANT:
Yeah, I can see how
anti-fascism looks like
terrorism to you
---
MALIGNORANT:
An entity's state
when the stupid has begun
to metastasize

INSTRUMENTAL
I’m your instrument
You unlock crystalline grace
A harmonic chord
My nerves are tingling
Startled to have found such
Sustaining resonance

POETING
I use cleverness
as a soft pillow to lie
my head in and weep

my head in and weep

YOUR SIGN
In moments of conflict, your “Stop Police Brutality” sign, if properly constructed, can shield you from police brutality.

“TO CONTROL UNREST”
That is the reason
they are giving for escalating
things with guns-
the notional guard-
as if we should rest in this
time of wicked acts,
as if that is the
independence signed off on
so many years ago.

FIRING SQUAD
I am a civilian
and I hunger
for this election
like no other
I am a soldier
and my vote
is my weapon
unleash me
with one bullet in my gun-
if we all point
the same direction
we have won
and I hunger
for this election
like no other
I am a soldier
and my vote
is my weapon
unleash me
with one bullet in my gun-
if we all point
the same direction
we have won

SKELETONE POME
Tap-dancing skeletons
conspire, hidden in the closets
of our bodies

SAUCY PEPPER
She’s a scorpion
With potent sting
Hiding a heart
That’s not so mean
She knows she could
Eviscerate you
That’s not why
She wants to bait you
Sure she’s 🔥
But it’s good
To feel the heat
Under her hood
No femme fatale
Rather sincere
A taste and it
All becomes clear
She’s kind of kind
For something wicked
Try a dab of this
Fierce liquid
With potent sting
Hiding a heart
That’s not so mean
She knows she could
Eviscerate you
That’s not why
She wants to bait you
Sure she’s 🔥
But it’s good
To feel the heat
Under her hood
No femme fatale
Rather sincere
A taste and it
All becomes clear
She’s kind of kind
For something wicked
Try a dab of this
Fierce liquid

5/27/20 haiku
Ersatz clam shell pierced,
agape- bathing in juices:
a creamy peeled grape.
(FOUND A TIN OF LYCHEES)

I pluck her strings
she sings
the sound rings
and rings
from her
deeply
curved
hollows
it leads
and it follows
vibration, elation
sustained
escalation, till
tension’s release
and a moment of peace
before we assume
the position
again
PLAYING LICKS ON THE BAY LAUREL UKE

Stay for the witching

ROUNDING ERROR
I don’t want to scream at the top of my lungs...
I don’t want to slam the door...
I don’t want to wreck things...
99.99% of the time...
Is it enough?
I don’t want to slam the door...
I don’t want to wreck things...
