POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Sally the Salamander*
congratulations i said to you
on the day i saw you last
when we got our diplomas
our parents' proud faces shone
shiny diamonds in the crowd
bamboozled
our wine glasses clicked
empty promises were made
and we toasted to our futures
while eating salmon steaks on Ohio.
those were the days of old when
talk turned out to be expensive but
visions sold on street corners for cheap
we were looking for water then i think
the first time i saw you we were
discussing the situation of that homeless girl
who gave me her furniture as a...

Starchild
These are the Musings of Queen Cleopatra Kotromanic, known for her notorious sleepwalking:
January is gone,
Thirty one crossed out days since The Fall,
Thirty one stakes,
Through thirty one broken hearts.
Thirty broken dreams,
One long unrelenting Scream;
Fate seals the dream with a war-torn Freeze.
She withholds the key, then disappears.
A sleeping corridor Speaks:
"Now which way to go? ...

I sign my name like Che Guevara
Edward Scissorhands made me who I am.
If I had to blame anyone :
Stroke
Strike your own ego
Yessss, Flo...There's only one FLOW
And ONE Rider
You said it.
He said it.
SHE YES She
She
Sheera absolutely has to win this fight.
We are dialogue
Or monologue
If only i could remember
The missing lines
Token lines
Freedom rings in hearts lost in outer space
So I ask the one and only
Stephen:
In between the heartbeat
Space and time and you and I

Addiction
Where is the professor,
Is he crying his river to the bone?
Where is the friend,
Is she locked up mental case, shaming her pretty face?
Where's the clown,
Is he heading for home
Long day at the office?
I search for people, friends, meaning like a compass searches for direction.
But I do have a confession to make: I am dislexic (I can't even spell it)
Only when it comes to too big numbers
Only when it comes to finance, derivatives, inflation, elation
I never learned or wanted to learn how to operate a compass

A day in my life
Meeting 1
There we was back in the day
Two college girls: Sia and Bliss
Traveling down an open road
We stopped at a campground named Hiss.
Tell ya the truth, it was the three of us, but Candy Cane decided to sleep. Beauty sleep, not insomnia seemed to her a decent treat. The Sages, however, were awake and alert. They began a search for soul food within the depraved jungle-camp.
Here is where the Night Begins: Enter at your own Discretion, read a Sign on His lips. The camp was a forest and really getting dark. Bliss told Sia that their only Hope would...

hiya, heya, hey,, straw, not
Alice but
Dorothy would
Take me to scarecrow
Was I scared, of course not
The unknowing was pleasant then
Because I was following
Not leading
The scary part:
Choice
Which way fucking scarecrow?
Burn your ass
After u fondle not fuck Dorothy
But I think she really wanted Mr Tinman if he isn't taken
Been a while since I lost found Dreamcatcher
Whiteboy honkey nigger
Trailer trash I once thought
But Dorothy from Kansas
U certainly ain't no Auntie EM
Dickinson cross dresser
Rape talk about...

if u were to die
if u were to die i would have a nervous breakdown
i would forget everything i have learned about heaven and nirvana
i would feel so alone
a sheep among wolves
i would no longer want to live
be the first one follow you in death
i would forget everything i have learned about heaven and nirvana

The Blind Girl I Love, Janie
Guess howJanie, theblind girl, picks her partner?
First, she listens tohim (or her) speaking and if she happens to be interested in what is being said, she moves closer... If she gets the chance toget close enough, she takes a deep breath and if she likes his (or her) smell, shetakes the next step...She puts her soft hands upon his (or her) cheeks, closes her eyes (for aesthetic purposes), feels his (or her)facefor the right amount oftenderness...andthen sheputs her lips to his(or hers),tastes his (or her) juices in her mouth...
If she doesn't likethe first kiss, she leaves...
