Out Of Reach Of The Ones Who Happen To Drive Her Crazy
She
looked all
over and
found the perfect
place to get herself
just out of reach of the
ones who happen to drive her
crazy which include her mom and
dad. Now, she could be able to get
a tan outside without any problems.

Put It ToThe Test
I am, inherently,
an emotional restrictor
as was my father before me
and his before him
keeping strong emotions contained
particularly anger,
indignation, and resentment
lest by their expression
I drive away a loved one or friend
for fear of abandonment
is a life-long obsession
But is it not
the most empirical
of litmus tests,
to measure fraternal devotion
when one can express
a panoply of emotion
love, fear, joy, anger, resentment, or grief;
to list a principle few,
without suffering...

The Inside Place
It’s a thing, right?
when we see our children
heading in a similar direction
as we did long ago
hoping that they listened to our advice
or at least take into consideration
the scars we bear
maybe it’s a trend?
One where we have to let them feel the burn
and let them learn on their own
because life’s lessons are more impressionable
when they are experienced first-hand
maybe I worry too much?
maybe this is also part of the parenting process
letting adult children find their own way
while all you can do is...

He Told Me To Stay Out Of His Room. Now I Know Why.
I walk into my
brother's bedroom and found this
porn mag on that guy's bookshelf.

Kalamazoo Kathedral
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Don't try and find me here
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
Someone tried to finger my rear
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Kathedral has no flock
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
The priest tried to suck my kock
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
My backside is red and raw
Last time I was in Kalamazoo
My aunt is a part time whore
Kracked-out, Kolostomy Konnection in Kalamazoo
Religion is never on my mind
Last time my mother got naked here ...

You Dare To Disobey Me?!
You dare to disobey me?!
You promised to love, honor and obey!
Instead, you're cheating on me!
You stripped and let another hump you!
And he happens to be my son!

Savage Daughter
There’s nothing like a parent’s pride
When they witness the strength in their children
When in difficult times their resilience comes through
Whether it’s a reflection in their upbringing
Or an observation about their character
And nothing makes a man more happy
Then to see his daughters thrive
Whatever comes their way
I know they will be OK
Because they have their mother’s toughness
Their ancestors’ spirit
And the freedom to be themselves

Grief Isn’t Always Complicated
I think I’ve been preparing for the inevitable
We all are
We talk about it with logic and reason
As if that will soften the emotional blow
I’ve been preparing poetry in my native tongue
So that she knows how much I appreciate her
How much we love her…
She once told me that after she lost her two-year-old
Back in 1950
She didn’t cry
Like some kind of numbness washed over her
That although she felt sorrow and sadness
Stoicism helped her manage
While still taking care of her newborn
We somewhat deduced ...

US the Oblivious
Confession
I've never been with my own kind
Wait a sec
Let me amend that
I've always been with my own kind
Seemingly contradictory
But not
Its paradoxical
Reality
As self evident
As can be
Firstly.........
G*D bless US
The Oblivious
those to whom
the truth is elementarily obvious
for Hetero-Homo-Lesbo-Transgendo-Sapien's
continued existence
We are ALL the same kind
ALL defined
when our parents entwine ...

Sorrowful grace today was hopeful
Visiting my kids for Easter
a road trip out of town
would brighten my mood
Back to my hometown
Good memories of my childhood
playing all summer and climbing trees
riding bikes and hanging out with friends
My hometown was much safer then
It's becoming a bigger city now
and rife with danger
There are still pockets of good neighborhoods
My mom lives in one of these
The houses literally look like the Brady Bunch house
The block seems stuck in the sixties ...

Down by the river
My one regret is the bloodline I derived from
I’m not a pedigree or a monkey’s uncle
My father is a penniless swami
My mother is a peace creep
We live up the river,
near a civil war battle ground
When there is a downwind,
the water has a polluted, toxic smell
A few years ago, I needed a pair of glasses
Never received them,
No insurance, no money!
My mother bitch slapped me a few times,
thinking that would help straighten my eyes out
Now I have short eyes!
Fuck, she’s dumb.

She Got Conned Into Doing Snuff Films
Dad kept saying he's sorry.
Their argument made her leave.
The cops found her dead naked corpse.
She got conned into doing snuff films.
