At the Beach
One day at the beach along the coast of the Jersey Shore.
There was an In Shape Man and an Out of Shape Man.
The In Shape Man said to the Out of Shape Man, “Look at me I am tall, strong, tan, graceful & beautiful.”
He went on by saying, “Look at you, your small, ugly, pale, weak and untidy.”
The Out of Shape Man was hurt by the remarks. He knew he wasn’t fit, gorgeous, or tall. It took him much longer to gain courage and talk to anyone let alone a girl. He had no self-esteem.
Girls flocked over to the In Shape Man. He would flex and show...

Rain.
One of those
Days when sea is brimming
With
Joyous tears
I render my soul
To krishna
Knowing the beloveds
Journey is a
Flight to
Florida flowers and birds
Of nature.
Butterfly with
Friends
Of rain and
Rainbow.
Eyes are pretty much
Sober and siberian
In angles of void.
Life pretty with
Red cap and card.

Like What You See?
"Like what
you see?" was
what Kirk's
roommate Brianna
asked after letting
him see her on the
floor with
those undies
on her.

So Competitive
Sometimes I just heat up Progresso soup and add some things to it...
I make all my own soups.
Okay, cool, I make my own sometimes too.
Do you make your own stock?
Uh, yes, of course (sometimes...)
Um hmm he says with begrudged approval
Do you kill your own chickens?
He's kidding right...
Yes. Yes, I do. I kill my own chickens!
Gawd.
I teach MY chickens to speak Japanese before I kill them...
Yep.

Sassy
Just got my hair cut
Here standing in the mirror,
One thing for sure,
One thing for certain…
I’m one handsome ass nigga.
Bitches keep calling my phone
But I don’t wanna hear it
Rather kick it with my men,
And Our Motto is
Fuck these raggedy ass bitches.
I can’t fall in love with these hoes
Bring nothing to the table.
Want me to pick them up,
Take them out…
And whatever we go do
They expect me to pay for.
Niggas wanna feel loved too…
It can’t just be me working…
Bitch, you gon chase me...

Once in summer evening.
We sat under
The shade
And played cowboys
Life rolls stilin watermark
West Coast of avenues
Green trees rolls for
Tea and pastry
Underneath a orange color
Bearing flowers.
We sang and danced
From the same time as well
We can do the homework
Once out of hospital
Trees frame beautiful
Button and butterflies
He sings in still crests
Of woods
Horse by an hour
Of woods
She loves her
Buddy blue
Lying beneath a lake
Trees are green and yellow
Hilling grills ...

Death Once Again
Death.
I once thought it was mine to control.
Mine to play with.
And you know what?
It is.
It’s all a game.
The pills,
The way they slipped down my throat that night…
I loved it.
I was playing with Death once more.
And Death was playing with me.
We danced and swayed,
My vision faded.
Then,
Like a snap.
My vision returned.
Back in the hospital again.
They tell me,
“Do this and you’ll feel great again!”
I already feel great,
In fact,
I feel, ...

Custard Fury
Custard Fury
By Michael McManus
In a kitchen embraced by warmth,
Air heavy with brewing conflict,
A man, cushioned by indulgence
Flaunts his inflamed visage, crimson-raw with anger.
"Mother," his voice, a narcissistic plea
Echos through the room, demanding obedience,
"This custard's too dense, an egregious flaw!
Lumpy, burdensome, a culinary transgression!"
His mother, a bastion of composure,
Meets his grandiose gaze, unwavering,
Stirring the custard with a practiced hand, ...

Nice Day For A Swim
"Nice day for a swim"
was what Sally said
before she had put
her bikini on
and went to the pool.
