Awoken (poem)

It’s a fraction of my soul, this hole  you want to control. It’s a distracting false role,  this whole you want a ‘protocol’ show.  I can drink away my whimsy  with cigarettes and whiskey. When they get antsy, take their kids to Disney  smiling miserably. But it’s a fraction of the whole soul, those they them The Man wish to control. Smile through the pain at those who get the gain. Some of us really can see the rain. Some of us, that’s all we ever see. You’re out there, My Mr. Somebody. But My Mr. Something heeds a bigger ring. I see the halos , and the bows, the fairies and the trolls, Rainbow Warriors & Indigos.  The price we pay is water, we failed  The Splatter Test , Father. Every day, every day.  I see them die this way. Olin’s bullets in the left hand, bleach in its right, we lose the battle  because we don’t even fight.  Our murders are entertaining. Our homeless are lazy. Truthers...

For Him (poem)

I have to take out the garbage, I have to do that alone because I’m on my own. The stars out here ain’t nothing, not like on an island. As numerous as grains of sand, but out there twinklin’. Maybe I wished you. (I wished for you) Maybe I dreamt you all up. (I dreamed for you) Because you’re off the chain, hook, and cuff. God, I wanna kiss you, (kiss you) even when you’re insincere; even when you’re not, I still feel you here. In my mind like a chime or a bad melody. I feel like a child every time you speak to me. (with authority) Can you teach me? (teach me) Your bad English too? (2?) I think I’ll know what to do, as long as I follow you. You make me crazy, (absolutely insane) you make me feel so alive, (cruisin’ my vein) that even in Ohio trashed, I see Hawaiian skies. (((and through your lies))) Lord, I want you. (I want you) Lord, I need you. (I need you) I’ll be so sweet to you because I’m so sweet on you. I’d thrill to squeeze your hand, get on...
