Rising Sun
Feeling land of the rising sun
Mornings call me awake
Shake sleep out of me
Sun originates from here
Zu-pang to Nihon
Where the sun rises
Feel a zen when I’m feeling Nippon
Want to tattoo samurai
On my skin
Shogun in my veins
I’m swimming with koi fish
Want to lay on Tatami
Under moonlight
Meditate my pain away
When I think Japanese
I don’t need ancestry.com
To tell me I’m from Mt Fuji
One thing on my bucket list
Turn Japanese
From inside out
I...

The next four years

Four years score
Or severe see

Suburbian Life in America
A normal Monday morning in America, circa 1960's
Mom's in the kitchen
Dad goes to work
Kid goes to school
A normal Monday morning in America, circa 1990's
Mom juggling three jobs
Dad's in jail
Kid comes out of the closet
A normal Monday morning in America, circa 2020's
Mom suffers from PTSD and can't work
Dad is a full time college student and can't work
Kid is allergic to life and anything outside of the bedroom and can't go to school
Mom's in the kitchen
Dad goes to work
Kid goes to school
A normal Monday morning in America, circa 1990's
Mom juggling three jobs
Dad's in jail
Kid comes out of the closet
A normal Monday morning in America, circa 2020's
Mom suffers from PTSD and can't work
Dad is a full time college student and can't work
Kid is allergic to life and anything outside of the bedroom and can't go to school

2024 November Poems >> the dreams of lady marguerite
No. 04
the dreams of lady marguerite
Tribute to Marguerite Curtin
Jamaican Historian, Publisher, and Friend
“If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf
that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.”—Michael Crichton
the love of trees, sophisticated hills,
soft-rippling streams, and fragrant daffodils
(among the thrills she calls her favourite)
ignites the dreams of lady marguerite.
echoes of windy nights under the moon,
shadows that lose their length at blistering noon,

I Wanna Be A…
I Wanna Be A…
So I’m just a rock star
Trying to get on the stage
Thunder from under the auditorium
Broken string that I play
I’m just getting started don’t tempt me
Sit in the audience and listen
Feel like I can be one of them
I can be almost as good as them
Good enough for me and then some
I can slay a dragon if you let me
I can be your demon if that’s what you want me to be
I can be a friar serving penance for the congregation
All I want to be is a rock star
I know this will not...

Colliding Mists
Colliding mists
Soar above me and crash
Sunset off of Japan
Time lapse the time rushes over me
Cascading down and up again
Tranquility in nature within me
I’m koi what I’ll do Mount Fuji next to you
Tattoo Rising Sun Samurai is me
Feeling Nippon American I am
Clouds roll by Godzilla me Tokyo
Take off your shoes before you enter
Sit down cross legs have some Saki
Peddle downtown Hiroshima
Kamikaze lightning in me

She Told Me That Her Name Is Vanessa
Mark went to Japan in
order to forget about
the disappearance of
his fiancé Vanessa
only to see her dressed
up like a geisha at his
best friend's house.

Red and Green
Red and Green
Red and Green within me
Sleep on a purple dream
Green relaxes me and me
Red is demon within me
Float on a puff of green
When I’m Red better watch out
Try to sleep Purple with you
Colors on Spectrum
Who is our audience that pays for it
Im Red and Green within me
You die for my former self
Im Autism within us
Everyone is on the Spectrum
Red and Green within me
Sleep on a purple dream
Green relaxes me and me
Red is demon within me
Float on a puff of green
When I’m Red better watch out
Try to sleep Purple with you
Colors on Spectrum
Who is our audience that pays for it
Im Red and Green within me
You die for my former self
Im Autism within us
Everyone is on the Spectrum

My kind, your kind
For Samhain
I hear words falling in a world
pronouncing them dead,
I watch as proud little letters
slowly burn on this modern soil
as those stay at home humans
setting up tables, their lips firmly
closed, and staying small, keep
on haunting steel and stone as
they passed down all that
once lived through them.
If you wish to believe this skin
was made to roam inside
those limited of spirits
i'm afraid you are mistaken
because my kind is not your kind,
i'm a wide...

Pulling PBS
Pulling PBS
Somewhere in Oklahoma
Clouds form and lightning strikes
Tornado starts funneling
10 minutes from my house
See trouble on the edge
Sit down turn the TV on
Hoping to find information
Put the channel of storm warnings on
And Amber alerts
Find just bars saying it’s not here
My so called leader of my state
Decided to cut funding for PBS
Trying to fight fake culture wars
Says their grooming our children
Looking for my ruby red shoes
To click my heels...

Wrong from the Start
(or "The Beast System Blues")
Wrong from the start
slow roads through this
brokenhearted
asphalt flower
business
strayed from the pack
into bits of byway passing
the gloomy pine
of a much maligned
interstate split
an eminent domain
for crooks & culvert-crawling
philistines and misanthropic desires
to decimate this boom car parking lot hole
with an off-the-grid wandering
a sprat-covered heath
for bulldozer sprawling

3 Amigos
Gino loved his music. He would make it on his laptop, he would record his vocals into it, and make sure that it's all back up.
Sitting in his room, making tunes on his ones, his Spaniard friend knocks on the door because she's shaking for a bong.
Gina was her name. She would buy weed from Gino every day before she started her shifts at work and became a slave.
Gino asks Gina if she would lay some Spanish down on a song that he'd been working on. What could go possibly wrong?
He calls his friend Rev over, who is a wizz on the guitar, with ginger...
