POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
.:Sought:.
Chillin
Like a Villain
No Hero -
Just a Calculating Zero
Least from the Get-Go
Nothing but a No-Go
Me? Napping?
Nope - never happened
Rope-a-Dope?
That’s for House Trapping
Like Mumble Rapping
Every bit a non-thought needless
Don’t need this
Our Mortal Affairs equated to Obama Cares
That makes for Trump-type Scares
Like mainframe be’wares
Like those
Weakened Geeks that
Hillary seeks...
The Ones Hillary Sought

.:Kill 'em Dead Zeroes:.
.
To all my
Cold-on Kaeperniggahs
Out here capping niggahs
Creeping figures; not knowing the time
The deaf, dumb and blind
Flakes imitating snakes adding to the block-on-block crime
Consider this...No time to be remiss
Seems like ::not:: any time soon that we’re gonna find Bliss...but
ain’t there enough stressful rigors?
Like life in Chirac with them itchy trigger fingers?
So much death hitting the pavement
On the pavement; teddy bears, candles, applied to each encampment
Self-Genocide? Adhering to death’s enslavement ...

.:Waterloo:.
YO, we need The Troop; this crime ain’t passing
Bet you a Clean Glass, Snyder’s Ass ain’t lasting
White Dodge-Red Dodge-Who’s Dodge in Crime
State Twerps as perps - Cruising
to D’Vine
So, stump them doobies - Bounce off The Stoop
All in for This Win... We’re that Grim Reaper Troop
Sure as hell keeping Justice, Keepin it calm in the loop - Yet
unlike Snyder, ain’t having it “known as ooooops”
Done heard from this case some Conflicting Tales - While from
here backwards been sounding like fails -

..:The Alcoholics:..
This Riff, one without a spliff
We’ll call it The Alcoholics -
Gotta nice get-well plan; lookin to install it
Every time we stumble - We won’t care who saw it and
Any road that’s rough we’ll mostly think to crawl it
Whereas most of y’all - y’all here for The Show
Probably for all y’all ‘Heads it’ll be Nod, Grasp & Go
Then there’s that few who’ll sit-up for The Game
The others? - They’re just into our name
But look here, y’all can forget about any tabletop glee
We’re just irregular folk, here onna drink-it-up spree ...

.:Joker Needs an Appearance Before The Water-Board:.
jacked up
somebody needs to
get smacked up
City of Flint -
America’s Chernobyl
Snyder, his state control
ain’t a thing about it noble
poisonin the water; damn what a mess
YO, free up the cash
folk want they pipes fixed
Goin on three years waitin while
hoarding budget perks
tryin to pass the buck onto
so-called experts
it’s a cryin shame the
way they do folk’s life
problems of the world, bad water
adds to strife
packaged water runs
just begin to fix the flow
a fresh start that
shows smart...

.:for Zaevion:.
Z-Man
Super-duper,
a real staunch Trooper
No, this not a reference to a Zimmerman
No, George, I’m talking Zaevion...a hero as in
Dobson...Him got robbed, son. His Life stolen by an errant gun
Wielded by a fool trying to catch one. Instead caught a case
Him a dumb one...Damn.
Three young queens - young lives were saved. Because heroes
stay on point even they might be afraid. They over-stand how to do
when a villain invades. Just like Zaevion when the
bullets got sprayed. Didn’t hesitate; when most might’ve caved

.:Out of The Hold:.
His were the non-hue men -
The ones venturing from sea to sea.
Drifting, sailing sauced into it for a fee, they with their mandates
afforded the destroying of families. These maritime calamities
boundless was their impetus for each far off shore; where
for sure God willing, nothing but score.
They, who enslaved were now here to explore
with powder in their guns and with their mighty roar, promising
none, not a one was to impede their tour.
But firstly, this Captain speaking to his staff; him ordering,
“Give me one, then one more and plump...

.:Muse Sick:.
Chaos absorbs this villain
His was a Creed that didn’t get fixed. Didn’t learn properly, now
craziness in his midst
Mesmerized by ruthless guys claiming pathways to The Real
Videos of his so-called foes wherein he can hardly wait to kill
Na’am, he had family, shared a nanny, but
that’s just part of what’s real
Wherein his twitter accounts have ‘em ready to mount
those battles having appeal
Muse...Sick and sick of lore. Tales of the ill repute
Him fanning fires along each shore
Everything in dispute

.:Simple:.
a few tokes, my jokes
she says,
(((“Oh Joe....YOU so simple)))
and
right about then..
I’m guessing who gonna stay nimble?
though she had me for a sec.. but
I’m not wondering why...
look, I’m nimble. I’m figuring, I can remain that guy
:::butt2myself:::
to myself, I just can’t lie
no joke, another toke I’m peeping with a sigh
twin dimples, the ones in her left & right cheek
indented temptation, oh boy
both sweet!!!
add to ‘em this beach, these burgers, some more that Ripple
this menu?...

.:Early Blurred:.
during re-heated nightmares
sometimes kids, the children
what they receive is a fool’s fire
that, along with some uneven &
unresolved memories
the catching of bad feelings
tightly holding onto them
and wanting not to, but
sometimes that’s
just the way it is
hoping that
someone with might
that they just might
might take the terrible away
the terror of the day
perhaps today,
maybe someone, anyone
they’ll confront what’s surreal
the knotted up experiences
the ones begot...

.:Off Divine:.
On the
vine; I wanna fall
And if I had a preference it’d be
straight up, bird-like
Like right now, except my wings
They would be useless things
Like faulty promises ‘n gold rings
But yeah, I wanna soar,
Falling up while I’m still sore
I wanna confess while stressed
Straight up, right thru a cloud
Wherein, my only stop
It would be the sun,
Wherein, I would light it up without the burn
But I would wanna hit it hard ‘n loud
As loud ‘n as hard as one can
Maybe then I’d be done
Thinking that
I’d won

.:Eros as Voyeur:.
Up against nothing; yet
what they mutually do is always for something
for him...for her...for self
charmed wealth, each an addict
she and he...get-going-to-go-at-it
2-to-get-what-will-eventually-wet-it
it’s the “thing” and the way it begets
::the facts::
mutual acts is what attracts
and they do have that passion cooker
him lurking to the side; a mythical onlooker
checking out the exactitude of charmed wealth
the displaying of good form in the form of good sexual health
this occurs without any miscalculating...
