Clout's True Pull
I, I am nothing but a thing
Can you tell me how to get something out of nothing
Cause here I stand nothing but a thing
Created of nothing, existing for nothing
I oozed from the womb
Psych darkened and bent, force into my tomb
The world didn't want me so I demanded more room
Prenatal care ensured my mind set and doom
He needs this formula, cereal, and vaccinated shot
Collect his DNA before leaving the hospital and chip the bloodclaat
To ensure he's docile there's atrazine for food in the pot
Field run off into ponds and...

chicken dinner *
here
it is,
again
too close
to midnight,
i'm awake
and eating
cold potato
slices
that came
with my
chicken dinner
from earlier
in the day
maybe
i should
be
in bed
and dreaming
of more
luxurious
feasts,
but i
was raised
on
fried chicken
and potatoes.

Eat the Bagel
It was a fulfilling
and tiring morning
I had just left
the local gym
This poem is almost
pointless to read
But stick around and
maybe you'll understand
So I fell fast asleep
and visions arrived
A man in robes
looking so serious
"Please get up now,"
He says calmly
And looking up quickly
I see something
In his left hand
A single bagel
"Go eat one now,"
he says plainly
"Okay," I mumble quietly ...

Dinner is Served
What a delicious looking prime rib
it glistens like a gem.
Rubbed down with olive oil
and seasonings, such a tasty blend.
It’s baking in the oven
smelling quite divine.
We’re all staring through the oven window
and it’s looking pretty fine.
Its beauty is so pleasing
such an appetizing treat.
We just can't stop the drooling
let’s all sit down and eat!

I Should Have Eaten a Salad
Half a meatless vegie patty
sizzling in the pan
lunch shaped like half a moon
it can't be all that bad.
Brown with a meat-like texture
mm-mm good you'll soon see
smells a little like canned cat food
but better for you
and won't clog your arteries.

For the Love of Rye
The lady that ate too much rye,
oh my, oh my,
how she did love her rye.
Zero grams of fat
and zero cholesterol too.
No butter just plain bread,
oh my, oh my,
if she only knew.
She did so love her rye,
that's all she ever ate.
Oh my, oh my, oh my,
it just might be too late!
But eating all that rye,
no vegetables and no fruits,
nothing else in her diet
just plain dark store-bought rye,
oh why?
I guess it never crossed her mind,
that eating just one thing,
did...

Morning Senses
This sunrise
Is the best
Morning sighs,
The senses
Come alive
For the life,
A scent wafts
Of coffee
Steamed dreams,
Squirrels romp,
Leap and lunge
Airs above,
Honey taste
Melts in heat
Stirred slowly,
Embracing
Sensory
Discovers.

Wild Woman Blues Rewrite
Wild Woman Blues
Accordion swinging to mariachi
when he serenades her senorita blues
on Cinco de Mayo in his Mr. Cool sunglasses
like a piñata stuffed for fiesta
he sings the Zapotec of smoky Oaxaca
Deep in Chiapas blues
Can you spare a peso brother?
No, but my secondhand cigar smoke
Is free as a wild Yaqui maiden
High on Copper Canyon ganja
When the sun sets like a caballero
Ambling past her to the liquor store
Like a Spanish galleon in the Caribbean
Sailing into a Yucatán
Where plantain is sweet as the...

Poor Man's Lobster
Another meal to prep
looking for a new recipe online
chicken wrapped in bacon
hmm, that does sound mighty fine.
Seasoned with brown sugar
smoked paprika and garlic rubbed on top
a sprinkle of salt and pepper
now that will hit the spot.
It pops out of the oven
broiled a little on top
looking a little like lobster
this will definitely not be a flop.
Everyone is now drooling
ready to take that very first bite
when the dog comes running in
our poor man's lobster is out of sight.

Girl From the Vegan Café
Girl From the Vegan Café
Sinatra diner for vegan gumbo okra blues
Where waitress floats on scarlet pigtails
For holy salad days of youth
In checkered britches
A Bauhaus Bolshevik
With nose rings
Whose golden bands are nuptial dreams
She gazes at my ancient visage
Like Alice from a foxhole
As she grooves to the Latina
On the radio
Whose Mexican vibes
She remembers like the barrio dusk
Where the taquería sold tofu tacos
For two dollars a piece
And Pachucas counted chili peppers
While...

This Easter, Chicken?
Alas my poor Yoke is doomed to be fried
along with its cock or hen's albumen,
there was know way of knowing, I tried and tried,
but it had no chance, strutting Cock or Hen?
What? You egg! You'd spit your hot cooking fat
out, ouch, damned spot, you bellow for revenge?
I must now commit murder most foul... Splat!
a bust yoke, my fingers of toast descend
To a rapidly congealing egg yoke
perhaps I should've boiled the poor dead thing,
It's turning to be...

Not a Fan
I'm not a football fan
but I do like the snacks.
The cheese and crackers
smoked oysters in the can
summer salami and teriyaki bites
vegie sticks and nacho chips
mini burgers in the pan.
The goofy commercials
and maybe the halftime show
but I'm not a football fan.
Laying on the couch
listening to everyone holler and cheer
sweaty guys running around in tight pants
nope, still not a football fan.
