Poem, Implied Oppression
Verdant Lip
October 21, 2021
can’t sleep, too tired, to slung back words
spoken late, repeat, stung deep refined
recoil, well oiled, palm slapped on track
linear acceleration well placed, erased
defib blocks ribs, docks breath, takes ashore
swift reft, reflight lost plight, slaked thirst
get worst, reflect elect each night
spill chart blacklight, delight wrenched herds
all verbs played out
vote sight

Poem, Nothing Wrong With Word Hork
Reframe
October 17, 2021
always write on migraine day
and if voice-to-text leads you astray
if you forget what you had to say
and the morning read lacks meaning
keep the bits that look like something
stir the pot, add some bunting
decorate – and decorate
it’s not too late to retaliate
migraine brain has had it coming
without disdain, no shame in punting

Poem, Implied Crass
A Polite Failure
October 17, 2021
brought my marker just to write
a bathroom stall perverse delight
but lost in thoughts of on with it
didn’t check, just had a sit
they say this time does come for each
and nothing solves one’s woes like bleach
* * *
And this, dear reader, is why I went into advertising - and got back out so quickly.
Poem
Conversation Rip
October 17, 2021
better to just admit I like the work with a conversational pace
as readily as the iambic motion and deep disgrace of conformity
entreating others, come swim in both seas, from slow swell
to river stands, tidal walls to greetings those combers of rain
in the small hours, hello-awake again, stepping out front
to speak simple words before lifting sheets to mend
slipping in

Poem, Teeth, Humor/Horror
Bad Plan
October 16, 2021
next special cleverness
what says we take more teeth than what we pay for
that one, gonna make a special effort
two point five inches
and we’re gonna dig about in faces for extra
bloody well not on
take yer dime
take yer own face t’ task fer low misdemeanor
an’ keep eating sugar-dinner
else dimes in a sack
next hack’s with a lever – two point five inches and a crack
to move the world
* * *
Just. Not. On.
Poem
Look, I try not to ask my brain what it's up to when it gets like this, and instead just stuff in more coffee. So far, we haven't killed each other.
Poem, Fear of Water
Named Revisions
October 9, 2021
front flipped cat climbs trees
leaps swan-graced to watery joy
drifts new between states
primates flicker warm
cheering laughter urging on
joining abandon
puddle dog swims fierce
despite their name desiring
shore’s clean sprung return
so sweet betrayal
high summer flags a-flutter
aspen leaves golden
* * *
Taken from life, water-cat leads the poodle astray with regularity.
