If I were a girl.
If I were a girl.
Would you shower me with roses?
If I wore a dress.
Could we get past prejudice?
If I did hair and make up.
Do you think I’d get your wink.
If I had high heels.
Would that mess with your ideals
In the back of a hire cab.
Would you let me purposely grab?
Tease all your foundations.
Titter your united nations.
So now its time for some drinking.
Not a beer but a cocktail for me please.
We can share stories.
About the war and what it’s like to be a man.
Then back to mine.

Sometimes...
words across a page
are stretched and pulled
or lopped instead
tortured on Procrustes’ bed
blood and body duly shed
sacrificed ‘til they become
a worthy fit
embracing shore
at last at home becoming moored
rescued in the sought for poem

Born blessed
I was born Black
Dark tone,
Extra melanin
And an afro
I was born blessed
Born with nothing
Enslaved, taken taken for granted
But like a Pheonix I rose from ash
I was born Black
Personified art,
Poetry and style
Wrote history from scraps
In this concrete world I rose between cracks
I was born Black
Crafted miracles from empty hands
Made a home from a shack
Made Vogue from rags
Leant to cohabit with rats
I was born Black
Adversity means opportunity, ...

THE PORTABLE BEAT READER
this fat ol' yellowed book
rescued from amid the flotsam of Goodwill
and my companion for weeks now
hauled everywhere like a bible
and inside live the ghosts
of ferlinghetti
and diprima
and lew welch
and corso
and good ol' jack kerouac
whose prose is thick as poetry
and ginsberg
and william burroughs
and almost all who haunt the works
of dylan and buk and kesey
(whose ghost lives here among them)
and many others who opened the gates
for those who came after
and those who will come
and so for...

a vanquish of dark with your certain light.
Theirs, is a rarity
born of an unwavering likeness
recognized by words
which morphed into
a shared religion
spoken to each other
in verse, haiku or prose
yet always
with a depth of truest affinity
conversations of a lifetime
done, by way of stanza
rolling lovingly into stanza
words that unite
their understandings
reassuring minds, bodies and souls
that loneliness,
now foreign
would forever be
unknown.

Word Rocket
I don't spit truth on a dare
I do it because I care
I believe that hope
is the ultimate dope
And that not with guns but with stroke of a pen
that world-wide revolutions begin
My poems are more powerful than the missile called a Tomahawk
if you read one you will know that's not just talk
Tonight I am going to light up the sky
and let this one fly
As sure as electricity comes out of my light socket
I am aiming for your mind with this word rocket
...

INTERSTELLAR COMMUNICATION
When I was a student at Cal
There were bookstores open at night
Near me I think were Barnes and Noble
Also Moe's
With Cody's not too far away
And don't forget Pegasus
I read books a lot more
Before the age of the internet
Of course back then
I wrote in forms
That could not travel to you
Quite like this

A Thousand Cuts
What’s on the lesson plan for today I asked?
The professor smiled and spun the wheel
It landed on snakes and arrows
That’s when suddenly I began to feel…
The barrel of my pen grew and soared then became a feral sword
With words ready to burn and slay in a progression of chords
A thousand cuts I once bled with dread healed and lead me here
Saying: I have to keep on fighting without the sorrow or any fear
I picked up the steel to wield the fire then protect and shield
The love I carry is a delicate thing to bare or leave unsealed ...
