Vicky
I left a hicky on her neck.
Back in the city,
I wrote my number on the cheque.
Very risky,
like tempting Russians in roulette.
Plenty sticky.
Oh Vicky.
Chest of might.
Catch of delight.
Eye sight’s over-pleasured,
break my dyke.
Pluck the brains back of the matte black
barrel, left a crack in the bone marrow.
Narrow to the skin whack-a-mole with
her cherry, bluntly asking her to marry…
Hadn’t crossed my mind that instead I had to bury…
Dirt meet my shovel.

Obstetricy
Some worth is established at every birth
as that's the rule of nature on Earth
with viability the keyword there,
and when once the lungs first fill with air
the newborn take their preordained form
with no regard for a genetic norm,
since by double helix twist decree
I will not be you and you won't be me
in the reproductory guarantee
where life itself loves diversity!
And the proof is there if you care to look
beyond monocultural gobbledygook
so often composed by the blasé mind,
as if confined within its own behind, ...

Loss
On a Tuesday morning in a tenth-grade math class, Sally smiled and held her paper up to her friend Jenny. Jenny gave her a thumbs up, pleased that she'd helped her friend overcome fear of math.
As the two of them shared this moment of elation, one of their classmates entered the room. The scrap of desks on the floor and screams filled the air, but Sally didn’t hear. She sat transfixed by the instrument of war pointed at her chest. She thought the boy was a friend, but today, she didn’t know his face.
Sally said, “Please wait.” She didn't recognize her...

AMERICAN SHOOT 'EM UP
dreamed
i was somebody
for a minute
like i held the keys
to the goddamned
kingdom and even
my sweat was holy
and it was real, baby,
and i just walked in like i owned it,
knocking that shit down
like i don't know what
my bullets rippin' right through
and them scatterin' like birds
and, man, don't act all high
and pious like it matters
when nothing goddamn matters
in this shit world
but politics and money
and your horse shit
so-called liberty,
not even this
(59 unique words)

no more dolls

by middle school
childhood is not just gone
its obliterated
an eighth grader

he's showing his friends
one of his besties

this goes on

The List
The prime minister of Jamaica is seeking help from the US to track down and arrest criminal elements in New York who are shipping illegal firearms to Jamaica.
He said that he would give the US law enforcement a list of names of persons in the United States who are involved in criminal activity that affects his country.
That idiot should also make a list of names of persons in Jamaica who are wrongdoers and put his name and the names of his colleagues at the beginning of the list.

Prophecy Of The Gun
it was the immaculate conception
inconceivable as it was
me being birthed from the womb
of man's ideology
motherless
never nurtured from the essence of her femininity
an umbilical cord just a figment of
my sentimental imagination
I arrive as a prophet in my own right
and though i have not walked on water
I have ceremoniously baptized countless
in pools of their own blood
for I am the axis upon which
fear and love...

The Revenge of Atom
Eurydice, nicknamed Dizzy, was growing concerned about Edward. He was her son with David Wallace, a successful music producer in Los Angeles whose parents had operated a renowned chain of restaurants. And Dizzy herself was the daughter of a media giant and a minor aristocrat, so what infernal circumstances might have befallen young Edward, a physically and mentally healthy lad of 10 who lived most of the year not a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, were a little obscure.
But Dizzy was a sensitive woman who saw the petty cruelties of existence everywhere, from the checkout girl who gave...

Grade School in the Great USofA
Boys, what would you do if a classmate brought a weapon to school?”
“Run away and tell a teacher”
“Would you try to talk to the student about it?”
“No”
“That’s right. Don’t draw attention to it. Just quietly tell a teacher.”
“Why are we talking about this?”
“Because a high schooler brought a weapon to school near here today. I just wanted to make sure you know what to do…
what about if you hear from a friend that somebody brought something dangerous? Just a rumor & you don’t know if it’s true?”
