Force fed
An alphabet And dined On Pacific time. Enhanced by A plot of grass, This shifting mass Ran out of gas. So it seems, These laser beams And twice stitched seams Have found the morning. Don't cry, It's swarming. I hear the buzz Now just because I'm hoping. Enough of coping With second string. And another thing, I think I've earned What's now my turn. Now turning faster. The fasting chapter Comes to an end. I've got the bends, But never mind, It feels sublime. 3/19/20

Someone's coming.
Someone Who Scared you silly, Made you blue. Remember Marky? Remember Me? In the dark, he Came to see. Helen, honey, Here I am. Get my money, Then I'll scram. You look familiar. Yes you do. Maybe cuz I am you too. Let's go playing In the park. Let's chant sing songs In the dark. Someone's coming. Someone Who? Someone's naughty Through and through. Remember Marky? Remember Me? In the dark, he Came to see. Pick up a lamp Or grab a rope He's at the door Don't be a dope. He'll jog your memory. He'll chase your dream. Up on the landing, He'll make you scream. I hear you, Helen. Loud and clear. I am in body, That which you fear. Try to remember. I think you can. That glowing ember Just needs a fan. Brighter, stronger Braver, true. Recall the past Has room for two. Wake up, darling. Wake up, dear. No longer need you Hide your fear. 11/8/21 S1E29 Time is the enemy
Time is on my side Time is riding next to me On this rollercoaster ride Up and down we go. Dancing toe to toe. World that spins us round Finds the clock unwound. If you dream, you'll sleep. Go floating in the deep. A window or a door Go through and dream some more. Inside, The cat girl growls. "Come with me" In omnipresent vowels. The fluorescent moon Hums and glows. Chasing after, There he goes. Off to another date. Hold my calls, This one Can't wait. 11/5/19 ZONE S1E9 On a pedestal
He stands. Respect He commands. Time has tarnished, Dulled the varnish. Commemoration. Veneration. Clacky clack. Smack of balls Sputters through Cigarette halls. On forest felt And chalky blue, In the corner Waits my cue. Corner pockets. Winner’s cup. Fire rockets. Rack em up. Little kid And Red Roy Rogers Whose heart he hid. The tiny todger Now looks back. His shoes won’t fill The walls that crack The windowsill. Behind the memory Aches the song. His only father Could do no wrong. 04/12/22  2020, oil on canvases, latex on panels, 16x20", 14x10"
Fair?
What's fair? Without us here To smirk and glare. I see you here. I see you there. Contended worlds Of savoir faire. We plod and trudge, Nod and judge Why you're not us. Our live's a fuss Of busy nothings In folded order. Time's getting shorter With meanings shallow. Our hearts are hollow. They'll blow away. But yours would stay Content and self reliant. Because loneliness Is a giant, Free of tangles And nagging strangles. Just when we've found Your inner peace, You reel the catch, unhook and release. ZONE S1E8 What once was
Isn't now, Just because. When we were Fuzzy, funny. Still a blur. How it went. No longer What we meant. Who, they say, Fallen. Gone away. Where we used To keep lying. Lies asleep. The way we used To go, now runs Along the main road. Why I chose that life. I couldn't cut it With a knife. Where we all went Wrong. Expecting we could get along. How the roof came down. No support In that lofty town. What to do now? Raise our hands Above our brow. Why didn't I see before? Too young to open The other door. But i see it now. 4/`12/22 Rambling reason
Blinding discourse Open season Falling field force One more time For good measure Perhaps discover Buried treasure Nothing lost Something gained Say it loudly Speak it plain Words redundant Like a chant Over, backwards Wail and rant Hope does fall On blanket ears Catching open Hearted tears We pray that future Changes course The way a river Carries force Let's float on The current's strength And calmly drift Ourselves awake. 5/31/22 Peek a boo.
Coochie coo. We mean no harm. Don't be alarmed. Tap Tap, the door. Knock Knock, under the floor. Footsteps bump above. I've had just about enough. Now, we're in the soup. In the litter without a scoop. Everywhere, going round and round. I hear that beeping, telegraph sound. Shining lights up through the floor. Poking knives under the door. We'll huff and puff and pitter pat. Raise the fur of scaredy cat. Time to check under the bed. Anxious buzzing in my head. Up the ladder, through the roof. A teeny, tiny saucer spoof. Hello, my dear. Please let me in. So I can get Under your skin. Away with you! I'll see to that And squash you, Like a pancake, flat. 1/15/25 ZONE S2E15 Step right up.
Don't be shy. Devil may care Truth or dare. What a deal At these prices. Tuck and roll Those fuzzy dices. Bargains, Bargains Never seen. Step inside. Behind the screen. Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. If it breaks down, Just take the train. I drive a bargain. You drive a truck. My profit margin Won't leave me stuck. What next rolls in, I wouldn't expect. A ride that makes me Be direct. Like it is, Not what it's not. Give you the Biz On my lucky lot. ZONE S2E14 In the game room
At the club, Talk that matters Mad as Hatter. Conjecture coats The living dream. Things not always As they seem. Here today Was thought tomorrow. Premonition Superstition. Tried to warn you. Let me in. The future isn't What it's been. Look here, old chum, I must protest. The past lies back there And needs its' rest. Some be changed, While others can't. See me rave And then I'll rant. Tonight, professor's Heavy hearted. Hypothesizing What time has started. 1/11/25 ZONE S2E13 What I wish.
What I want. Tiger tonic, Bon vivant. A jaunty noose Of woolen hair, With scissor kicks And razor stare. Catchers catch. Catchers can. An aberration Also ran. Send me coach, Not first class. My shadow follows In the grass. A new advisor Side of life Against the brighter Steady strife. Well yes, maybe no. If we must yes, Then we should go. You're a lucky so and so. What I wish. Wish I was Just like you. Just because It looks so nice. Seems so right To breath easy And sleep at night. 2/12/20 ZONE S1E12 If I get up,
Jump! Open the door, He hits the floor. Under foot. Understands. Waiting, trembling, Spring and scrambling. What's next. The front door. I can't let him loose, So I scoop up And squeeze His warm, little shoulders. Outside we step. Necks crane, Eyes scan the street. Anxious in our feet. He fixates on a house Across the road. Maybe a mouse, Maybe a toad. Stretching towards. Eyes locked. Ears loaded. Over there. Right there. Wait! Something else Alarms and strikes. Bus screeching brakes. Now, we're a tangle Grip and wrangle. Clawing towards the door. Only instincts now And I know enough To let go. Not of love. 2/25/22 The smell of something
In the air. The silent rumble Of hope's despair. What we've done, We've done it right. Xray vision, Satellite. Ease your mind And put it where Wonders grow Without care. Your shift is over. Let's play cards. Alot can happen In forty eight hours. I tried to warn you, But no one heeds The old and ugly Simple deeds. Waves of sound And twinkle light. I wish I may. I think you might Find peace of mind In honor bright. Think of what Was meant to last. The future was better In the past. Flash of light, Brighter still Upon the exit's Window sill. 4/20/20 ZONE S1E14 |
