I think you’ll find I am not a spill, Sir
Listen
I’m over the ‘s’ word
implying only
that these lines
were accidents
that this poem flowed
with purpose and grace,
filtering itself until pure
there’s no river here;
not even a damn pond
I don’t pour majestically
from babbling brooks of dreams,
paddling half-heartedly
in the shallow pools of cynicism
neither should I be compared
to dry rice
milk
a loose shit
on the way out—
I want my words
to strike the Earth
like a wet lamb ...

I can't call
what we had
as love,
you let me
into your bed,
making love
was never an issue,
we shared our bodies
we shared our time,
but
you would never
share your thoughts,
your feelings,
you left me on
the outside
each time
I was on the inside.

Snapshot
I’d love to take a snapshot
of the newness of the day –
that moment I first open my eyes
before thinking gets in the way
Morning holds such promise!
The dawn is on fire with hope,
like a rocket ship poised to blast off
to challenge the vast unknown
But alas, my brain insists on booting up
The chaos and trouble soon begin
Shadows are cast and plans are dashed
as countless memories rush back in
Where is the button to pause my life,
to stop the endless replays?
If I couldn’t remember my yesterday,
would...

My Sweetest Friend is My Enemy
When I was little I called my anger a beast
A beast that lived inside my chest and
Clawed within my veins and throat
I used to picture myself caging her within my ribs
At one point I looked closer and what looked back at me
Wasn't a beast at all, but myself
My rage, anger, spite has created my foundation
I worry often on whether I am a bad person or not
Because my anger is threaded throughout my being
I can't seem to set a can down without slamming it
I can't even embroider without imagining it is my skin or theirs
I don't know if I would...

The Four Year Shitshow and The Great Toilet Paper Shortage: A Review *WARNING*
(An Editorial Commentary with Walter’s Alter Ego…
…Wally, sit your brown ass down and let me address this now
Dear reader, this is an EXTREME CONTENT WARNING and it’s a bit comic
So if you have a sensitive stomach or a vivid imagination
The sick shit I’m about to spit, it might just make you vomit
Got Damn that presidency was a complete and total clusterfuck
That administration was a revolving door for a four-year full on orgy
A bunch in that political party got rawdogged and cummed on
Those motherfuckers were so nasty, it even disgusted...

Gloutons
Il y avait ce beau gros
Gâteau au chocolat.
Puis vinrent les gloutons.
Ils étaient trois.
Du gâteau il ne reste
Que quelques miettes, Juste lŕ.

Red, Blue and White
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
Blue signifies cool, wisdom, stability and serenity
One glows hot like war and desire
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
It can cause chaos to confuse and conspire
Losing the purpose of identity and integrity
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
Blue signifies cool, wisdom, stability and serenity
In the struggle to maintain a true and fair democracy
Some secretly connive to achieve more power
They spread lies to establish an autocracy
In the struggle...

Wrath
Visual Poem
Be leary of her wrath
she dances through flames
without risk of being singed
The fire recognizes
the fury raging within her,
taking her in as one of it’s own
But you, however,
will certainly be scorched
in her seething fumes
until her anger incinerates
Left with your heart set ablaze
and your soul burning
while she decides
whether or not to
mercifully put you out
Or stand back and watch,...

Nostalgia
Where has my piccolo gone when I was a young boy? Where have all the woodwinds gone that made me clap? Now barefootin' in nostalgia, but the mirror has cracked. Now I wander alone at night disturbed by the hypocrisy of make-believe ghosts and bellicose fools. Something just ain't right. But I found a shadow in the closet playing my piccolo.

IT MIGHT BE UNDER YOUR NOSE
I love and use a story I heard
years ago, the source I do not
know or the author.
It had been a beautiful and fun
day, the annual family reunion.
After the crowd had left for home;
a couple of families were staying
overnight with grandpa and grandma.
Grandpa had retired to the bedroom
to escape cleanup duties and take a nap.
Two grandsons with an eye
for mischievousness slipped some
Limburger cheese and went into grandpa's
bedroom and spread some in his mustache ;
soon grandpa aroused with a few curse
words...
