the innocents
what happened to George
Floyd was racist, those police officers
deserve all they get, and yet,
spare a thought for their wives and
their kids are left reeling
at the quite sudden turn of events

Flashing Bunny Ears
the end of a long, long school week
i get to go home and...
oops! no i don't
Trunk or Treat tonight
decorated cars
families slowly driving through
candy coming at them from all angles
last year
when i taught 6th grade
we were studying mythology
i was Medusa
i'd found a woven plastic headband
threaded the tails of rubber snakes through it
the snakes stuck out in all directions
everyone loved it
this year?
fuck costumes
fuck everything
fuck TJ twerking his fat ass in class
i'm...

Elegance In the Eye of Cartageña’s Pearl
Elegance In the Eye of Cartageña’s Pearl
Down from the misty mountains
Where she labored
Under the sign of the jaguar
Beneath the jade sun
Harvesting sacramental beans
Lemon sunshine streets
Of Columbian citrus dreams
Where native lady flowers
In rainbow dyed gown
And cinnamon perfume
She poses for pictures
With strange American men
An international diplomat
Who speaks no English
But knows the language ...
Down from the misty mountains
Where she labored
Under the sign of the jaguar
Beneath the jade sun
Harvesting sacramental beans
Lemon sunshine streets
Of Columbian citrus dreams
Where native lady flowers
In rainbow dyed gown
And cinnamon perfume
She poses for pictures
With strange American men
An international diplomat
Who speaks no English
But knows the language ...

Serpent's Work
We get poisoned by
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids
because kids our the future
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids

Little Hermes
My little Hermes
With that belly full of milk
Like little lions
When they drink from their mom
Let me touch it a bit
Please.

Shake the Vows
A needle pricked seamstress, bored
Stitching buttons on ventriloquist dolls,
Sewed wedding rings to tambourines.
And played a song of freedom
For oppressed housewives, and
Children of the walking dead.
Stitching buttons on ventriloquist dolls,
Sewed wedding rings to tambourines.
And played a song of freedom

the monotony of caring
There's nothing to do
and I sit still
like this anxiety won't kill me
Cause it won't
but sometimes I wish
it fucking would
so it can be over
and done with
There's nothing to do
and I pace the house
like all I'm trying to do
is get my daily steps up
I'm not
but if I don't move
I'll go insane
There's nothing to do
There's everything to do
I would write a list
but I've already cried today
and I've lost the will
to fight for moments
that...

Let Them Eat Cake
they roll around in their own filth
smiling with shit eating grins
they take from the poor to give to the rich
back ass wards robin hoods
I wonder about kids who are fighting
through the mud and through rain
seeing their mother/father crying
struggling to pay the bills with no relief
all our efforts seem pointless
when billionaires hold all the power
just remember, they can take your things
only you can let them take your heart
their biggest fear is a person who grows from...
