I GOT KIDS TO FEED
Ooh that chronograph would look good on my wrist
Though I like it, it’s really a want and not a need
I know I could walk around the office and flaunt it
I have the money for it but dang it I got kids to feed!
I’ve been a hankering to go on a long vacation
Go to Pamplona and run with the bulls in the stampede
But I’m getting a little too old for these shenanigans
I’ve been dreaming of skydiving but I got kids to feed!
Though I’m in a good place as far as income is concerned
There was a point when my family had some tough times
I had...

what a day!
the sun was out today
smiling like a child on
the last day of school
cars zipping past cars
oblivious to their
drivers
the sun was out today
as playful as a dog fetching
a stck in some backyard
brunch was a miracle
rainbow laying across
my plate
people laughed as the sun
shined down and spirits
rose like shipwrecked
treasures
the sun was out today
and curled up into a
ball like some great
orange tabby cat on
the blue blanket of
sky
...

My cup runneth over
I don't even want
A full cup
My rides been bumpy
And my hand already shakes
Stop pouring muthafukka
I said when...

Corporate Shenanigans
It’s an upsetting thing looking back it now
I thought I was just doing my job
But those of us who worked in subprime lending
We were part of that predatory mob
I had access to so many files
But I was just a paper pusher in those days
Get it from one reviewer and then out to another
I never really questioned every bonus or raise
It was a like a freight train on speed
Eventually the steam for the company ran out
And there I was, jobless for a while
Unsure of how all of that came about
Later on as the entire world went...

Middle Hand Man
I give them all, my
Middle of the hand
Those weaving together
The fringes of our morality
Scrawling down in stone
Our words before they sway
Those entrappers, tricksters
I do despise
Beware, you self-indulgent somber prisoners of exile
Beware, hunters of plastic thrills that patchwork their voids
Ministers pit you both in opposition, erasing grey areas
May they have spiritual immolation and be charred to ash
Watch out for the menaces
Militancy behind those smiles
Operators closely standing by
In...

We Need One Another
The earth was not made for only one race.
Every race and nation belong here.
Moreover, all human beings are equals.
No person is superior to another.
We need the Negroes and the Caucasians.
We need the Jews and the Arabs.
We need the Chinese and the Indians.
We need the Asians and the Eskimos.
The colour of a man’s skin does not matter.
Rich people have the right to life.
Poor people also have the right to life.
Together, we all make the world beautiful.
Every race and nation belong here.
Moreover, all human beings are equals.
No person is superior to another.
We need the Negroes and the Caucasians.
We need the Jews and the Arabs.
We need the Chinese and the Indians.
We need the Asians and the Eskimos.
The colour of a man’s skin does not matter.
Rich people have the right to life.
Poor people also have the right to life.
Together, we all make the world beautiful.

Merry Spring
I write when beauties step into my heart
and when the Muse unveils her very art.
I write when to a wonder, my soul leaps
and when the warmest of bliss is spilled heaps.
I write when Nature reigns and sends her scent
and when allured to my Self give vent.
That’s Euterpe of music and beauty
full, overflowing many a ruby.
And when poetry, a gift that beguiles
drifting, with no anchor, into the wilds.
And when in life, breezes merge with the storms
highest Selves emerge above bonds and norms.
And what is to the heart precious and dear ...
and when the Muse unveils her very art.
I write when to a wonder, my soul leaps
and when the warmest of bliss is spilled heaps.
I write when Nature reigns and sends her scent
and when allured to my Self give vent.
That’s Euterpe of music and beauty
full, overflowing many a ruby.
And when poetry, a gift that beguiles
drifting, with no anchor, into the wilds.
And when in life, breezes merge with the storms
highest Selves emerge above bonds and norms.
And what is to the heart precious and dear ...

The accidentals
Told a woman on TikTok
she saved my life
imparted her wisdom,
allowed me to
grow.
I don’t know her from Adam
but there was a calmness
in the way she spoke
rivers through mountains.
I think where I’d be
without her—
without her strange accent
comforting this question mark,
without all those affirmations
I’ve filled my brain with
reaffirming that wheels
have worth.
Some nights, I think of the ones
that came out of nowhere,
appeared from poems
book clubs ...

Among the Ruins
Far away
Beyond the north winds
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future
Eternal flame to the next of kin
Beyond the north winds
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future

Time-proof body
The strength of the body and the body of strength,
in a ballet of muscles and will.
Each gesture is a battle, an approach,
in the dance of life the eternal truth.
The body that pushes, that pulls, that reaches,
with the strength that comes from within, burning,
It is the temple of the soul, the abode of hope,
where every sweat is a seed.
The force that moves, that lifts, that sustains...
It's not just physical, but also mental,
It is the energy that flows and feeds.
That makes the weak a powerful being.
In the body...
in a ballet of muscles and will.
Each gesture is a battle, an approach,
in the dance of life the eternal truth.
The body that pushes, that pulls, that reaches,
with the strength that comes from within, burning,
It is the temple of the soul, the abode of hope,
where every sweat is a seed.
The force that moves, that lifts, that sustains...
It's not just physical, but also mental,
It is the energy that flows and feeds.
That makes the weak a powerful being.
In the body...

Put Them on Ice
Constipation is just like squatters living in my ass rent free
Until my bowels loosen and then I can push the shit out of me,
“If they ever tried that fuck shit with my property
I speak, if they refuse-then its baseball bat misery,
“To grandma, kids and all other grown folks
They will learn the new meaning of American lost hope,
“Fuck where they go, but they will not stay there another night
Go back to your country, walk it out or catch a Joe Biden secret flight,
ICE “Hello. How may I...
