A Day in the Park
I think I have more
More fire to light
More poems to write
One more for tonight
I've worked out the kinks
This prose will be tight
Well not all the kinks
My balls crave a bite
I sit on my ass
Cheeks leaving a mark
I breathe in the grass
I love this new park
I catch a few eyes
They can't help but wander
I cow brand my thighs
It makes the crowd ponder
Why oh why,
Would a young lad adore this
My nuts store passion
They do not store piss
I move the hot iron from leg to my cock
In the same...
More fire to light

They can't help but wander

Plastic Heroes
There are no more heroes anymore
no role models to follow
no one to look up to
the word hero has been terminally devalued
its meaning truly lost in over-use
apparently we are all heroes
If we wear a COVID mask we are heroes
if we practice social distancing
if we abide by the narrative
if we shop in a supermarket
if we eat in a cafe
if we wash our hands we are called local heroes
If we do shopping for someone elderly we are heroes
if we great each other with an elbow bump
if we do not hug we are...

Just Ask Pam (a bit of nonsense)
i'm very creative, i am, i am
i'm very creative, i am
i'm as creative, as a puppy in a pram
if you don't believe me, just ask Pam!

individual lines
(i am) King of my castle.
i have the destiny to dethrone.
All the heroes inside my head.
i thought them lost, but found them dead.
---
This housing has built walls within me.
Echoes of empty laughter.
We have struggled until midnight.
new-wisdom lucifer in the morning light
---
the moment i walked out of the room
a prison constructed by sky
we will never leave beyond these clouds
we will never leave, leaves me proud
---
salted waters for boiled seas
undertowed from buoyancy
---
heavy eyes with teeth...
i have the destiny to dethrone.

The Lazy Poem
Poem Prompt By Bruno Mars
The Lazy Song
No excuses for the tone… too lazy to attempt to care
Just another stupid lazy poem
No thoughts to keep anyone warm
Today I don’t want to rhyme, I did not even want to write
I wanted to see how far I could push my mind to make no sense
Tired of being right
Polite
Courteous
I want to be just downright selfish, have the blissful feelings to see what it would feel like to be callous for just one day
Tell the world go and fuck itself
Sorry
See, when I speak, I just...

How lucky the man
has Trump for a friend...one person
on whom he... can never depend.

Going out
I sat alone at the table waited on by a lab technician in a hazmat suit.
The kind of situation that would seem normal
if I was ordering weapons-grade uranium to-go.
His muffled voice could barely cut through the triple layered protection
designed to keep him immune to even the wrath of god.
A few awkward chuckles and invisible faux-smiles later he was on his way
to the reactor to retrieve my lunch.
I notice the only other person bold enough to brave the new world
like me a few tables to my right.
His gaze is sharp and full of intent....

A Dusty Swoon
I sometimes feel
That i am a tragedy
Awaiting to become
A greater tragedy
Of what
I already am
But not
Tragic enough
To inspire
The likes of Shakespeare
Swoons
Then exits stage
Of an empty ramshackle theatre
Apart from a sweet old lady
Knitting
Lost in her own thoughts
And reverie
The stage
Is no longer
Set
As the dust
Remains
Undisturbed
The stage needs a sweep
Not a swoon....

The New Normal
and its confusing linguistic consequences
She says Hi at the checkout,
no idea who she is;
I like your mask, she says.
never been good with masks,
outside of Venice,
or a spa.
Did you make it yourself?
Struggling to match voice to eyebrows, I say,
There’s a seamstress in Oliveira,
the heart on my sleeve in a pickle.
How long does it take to forget
people’s faces?
How long for
the word face
to become obsolete?
Some day we may have to swap face for mask
in every sentence and phrase. ...

instructions to the game
roaming round
the pitter pats, making sounds
electrifying energy
explosive pops
illuminating my dark.
to the speed of a hummingbird's wing
so to a kitten's mock
the piercing of a serpent's fang, riddled shock.
offset the duality
bookending the plausibility
in what, i take stock.
the narrow of the most narrow
moreover a needle.
still hearing the sounds
motionlessly now
yet still roaming round.
so this is meant?
literary nonsense
utterly spent.
prolific in jargon
repeat that... i beg your pardon ...
