The Value of Self Knowledge
As I apply for a scholarship
To pay the intuition
For a well established
State Institution,
I’m reminded by a puff of smoke
Entering the hippocampus
That such thoughts
Must share a dorm
Meant for dueling patience.
Majoring in substance abuse,
Your councilor suggests
Laying off the hard stuff.
Bit on the nose
But you take her advice
Trading DSM-5 for
An anonymous substitute.
“Study for your UA?”
Balked the TA.
“Not Today,”
‘S what I’d say
If I hadn’t flunked out
Twice already – ...

So Much WEIGHT
I’m going to be a senior next year
Going to be an adult
Going to apply to colleges
Going to work harder
Than I have in my entire life
But I feel horrifically sad
What if
I can’t do it?
Going to be an adult
Going to apply to colleges
Going to work harder
Than I have in my entire life
But I feel horrifically sad
What if
I can’t do it?

Should have went with your gut
A boy and a girl from the university drive home through a bad part of town at night
She told him to go this way,
claiming this was a shortcut to the neighborhood
He didn't agree but listened to her anyway
At a stop light, a rock smashes their windshield
The girl is startled
The guy gets out of the car and takes a look around
There is a gunshot
The bullet goes into his left thigh
He screams and falls down
Two teenagers approach the car
They shoot the boy one more time
This shot is the fatal one
Right between the eyes

The Tragic Tale of a Young Girl's Body
She was young, just a tender age
Filled with innocence and wonder
Her body, firm and full of life's stage
But little did she know, she'd soon be torn asunder
She walked with grace and confidence
Unaware of the danger that lurked
Her beauty, an ever-present presence
But to the predator, she was just a piece of meat to be shirked
She knew not of the evil that lay in wait
As she strolled through the streets
Her mind filled with dreams and fate
But all those hopes would soon meet their defeat
He watched her from a...

Everything is Important
(and Nothing is More Important Than Everything)
Given the calculations and parameters I’ve set within time limits and resources
I am lacking in the stimulus and motivation to continue my education
Presently as my overall health and condition has been in a slow decline for years
It is no excuse to place a mental obstacle rendering me to a state of obfuscation
With that in mind, a fear of success has created a parabolical intellectual block
Anticipating a physical exhaustion with a rather unreal anxiety of the unknown
But it lies more in the...

Fear of Success
I had thought about returning to college for several years
But the fear of success had kept me in the dark for a while
“It’s too difficult, I’m too old, I don’t have the money or time”
All the excuses I had in my mind filled my heart with anxiety
But for far too long I was feeling I had hit a glass ceiling
The lack of a degree kept my career stalled or at a stand still
Until one day I decided to go back to the old campus
Seeing the buildings and students gave me an old thrill
So that day, standing there on the university campus

A Windy Monday
This morning I thought I’d reach out and touch you
But you weren't lying next to me
I walked outside and found you
I found you'd already left me
But soon I’d be joining you in the sky
Given flight by a murderous passerby
Tell them what you want about sorrow and regret
Show them what you think will help make them forget
Strength in numbers means nothing today
We've all been taken away and there's nothing you could ever do or say
The wind blows with such a hateful moan
It's a shame the rain has left us all alone
Short-lived...

blonde iconography
windblown art
of fifties photographic
blonde iconography
Biblical transfiguration
of pantie revelations
when spring breezes
skirt pleated cotton
in rippled reasoning
for the flirty sunshine
on a maiden sunday
when the clock counts an hour
that leaps like my heart
under her spell

Bubblegum Cowgirl
Bubblegum Cowgirl
She traces the seams of his boot-cut jeans
With the dominion of her ruler
Guiding him into her Sibylline sanctuary
Where bubblegum cowgirl
stars in spaghetti western
As the lasso librarian of route 66
With neon boots bright enough to read by
For the purple of her phosphorescent Stetson
That orbits her like a flying saucer
She zaps his gluteus with her wooden ray gun
Flaming him deep into denim blue ...
She traces the seams of his boot-cut jeans
With the dominion of her ruler
Guiding him into her Sibylline sanctuary
Where bubblegum cowgirl
stars in spaghetti western

With neon boots bright enough to read by
For the purple of her phosphorescent Stetson
That orbits her like a flying saucer
She zaps his gluteus with her wooden ray gun
Flaming him deep into denim blue ...

THE EXAMINATION DESK
It was the day of nine o’clock G.C.S.E math’s exam. We lined up outside the lunch hall like conscripts awaiting basic training. The black painted mesh of the bike shed was flaking. I picked at it. I felt sick. I snuck into the drama block to smoke a roll up. It made me even sicker. I came back, I took my tie off, and then my jumper.
‘Where’s your tie?’ said Mr. Clumper.
‘I don’t feel well, you don’t need to a tie to pass an exam,’ I said.
‘Rules are rules. Put your tie back on.’
