Carpe Didiliumn Calumny
The policy became it's own
/ contrived /
Honesty.
We'd lie like a rug.
Like a Niixonian carpet(bagger).
Dancing that Carpe Diem Mambo,
Banners flapping, cooksmoke rising
from the sizzlng barbeQue. ( Ah, BBQ
buffalo balls)
And don't forget, Kids under 12 re grt FreeBeer
Your meat, they's meat,
/ contrived /
Honesty.

Peach Rhymes with Reach
The majority of the year was spent in
t-shirts with my hair tossed up
I’m really behind on my laundry
I buy new clothes
and throw it away
Though we likely
felt a similar way
in 9 approaching 10
there’s still something sure
about the rounded
wholeness of 20
19 was the hardest year of my life
I probably sunk into white ceilings
and drowned in hot, fluorescent
lighting more than
I can count in 30 years
My mom would often say I...

The Double Image (Portraits)
I made you to find me'
'It doesn't matter if there are wars,
the business of life continues
unless you're the one that gets it'
-Anne Sexton
I went around in circles writing the empty vernacular,
writing it out in reams until it stood for something.
The dead heart followed along, musing me.
Why are the words so empty?
They echo, those words, rat-tat-tat and ka-ching
as the hills of my mother's bounty became flattened.
Each faint pulse of her heart, a wind of the ribbon ink,
and sentences...

Pretty Women are Smiling at Me
I don't know what it is
Possibly my new skin cancer scar
Is that possible ?
It's healing nicely
Looks like the remnants of a bar fight
Not the action I usually go for
Poet's are lovers and thinkers
I'll take those smiles though
Fucking cancer has to be good for something
Possibly my new skin cancer scar
Is that possible ?
It's healing nicely
Looks like the remnants of a bar fight
Not the action I usually go for

Uncle Mort
Ten years ago my family lost someone near and dear to our heart
Mort was a very strong and healthy man and was always busy doing things
He loved his family and friends and was always there when he needed them
He was always humble and kind no matter the circumstance
In 2009 his cancer got worse and worse and he started getting weaker
It was hard on the whole family seeing you that way
Though he always kept a smile on his face and never showed any fear
On the night before he died I had prayed that God would heal him
Sadly the next morning my mom told me...

Chemical State of Mind
I don’t work, I don’t fuck only eat and rarely shit
That’s why this year I’m on my third selfish-ass bitch,
“The life I live they truly hate it
Now grandma’s giving me an enema, because I’m constipated,
“The chemo for the cancer is eating me alive
Couldn’t make it to the bathroom now shit is running down my thighs,
“Embarrassed and words of comfort-I don’t want to hear it
Because my soul is hurt, sprinkled with a shattered spirit,
“Soiled clothes on the floor, shitty rag in the sink
Asshole naked on the toilet as I start to think, ...

Cancer Tribulations
In this day In age
Cancer is on the rise
And they say we know
More about than ever before
Saying they are getting
The best treatment out there
But there are still people
Dying from it everyday
Not just from the original diagnosis
But from the treatment
That causes a secondary
These people have been through
So much already
Their own body's attacking them
As well as the treatment
Killing cells
Making them weak
Wishing it was just over already
Some refusing treatment
Because of its effects
I...

Neuro
It's a comic and cruel twist of fate
that you went in for a brain surgery and returned
worn of heart,
and you're sleeping, all wires, monitors, white lines -
our dead pan humour lingers in my cargo,
I don't know what to do with it now.
And I sit,
six to eight hours from you
penning lines with less empathy than our jest,
more rage, more frustration, more age
contemplating who you'll want nay need me to be,
who you'll be as and when you wake.
I'm driving up Monday
back to Suffolk with all her ghosts, ...
that you went in for a brain surgery and returned
worn of heart,
and you're sleeping, all wires, monitors, white lines -
our dead pan humour lingers in my cargo,
I don't know what to do with it now.
And I sit,
six to eight hours from you
penning lines with less empathy than our jest,
more rage, more frustration, more age
contemplating who you'll want nay need me to be,
who you'll be as and when you wake.
I'm driving up Monday
back to Suffolk with all her ghosts, ...

watchful eyes
Tireder and tireder
He grows
He tries not to let
it show
It causes me to worry
That, he already knows
Its time to rest my love
I'll be here in the shadows
Watching over you
Hoping you'll be better soon
He grows
He tries not to let
it show
It causes me to worry
That, he already knows
Its time to rest my love
I'll be here in the shadows
Watching over you
