clarinet



how is it
that she can
be so polished
symmetrical from
where her most
inner thoughts
take place
to where she
lays imprints
that produce
a following
of worshippers
who would offer
up their devotion
if given the blessing
to be within
her breathing space
to take in
her angelic presence
and hang on every
word that she exhales
as these words
play a
melodic composition
that sends you
in to euphoria

if only
chance existed

Fuck You

No, fuck you!
Oh the pleasantries
Of human interaction
Here is to hoping that things
will never change

waiting for sleep

 
When you have
Nothing but dreams
To depend on
And the thought of
Waking up
Gives you the sweats
It’s time

no more

 
i think i’m
the only one
as i take a journey into
those big brown eyes
with the extravagant lashes
clearing out the
ugly debris of the world

i
see my
reflection
glimpsing back at me

i appear euphoric

i’m in a warm place
surrounded by
adoration & loyalty

my head resting
against her breast
existing
with every heartbeat

but it all came to an end
as the lashes
made way for
 someone else

dirty whores!

 
nothing but
dirty little whores
on every street corner
in every city
around the world

selling themselves
to anyone who
will take them

to hand over a portion
of their morality
with a monetary donation
on the side

they will sweet talk you
whisper in your ear
what they think
you want to hear

they will do just
about anything
to materialize

they will bend you over
 swallow you whole

I could never be
a politician

it's a shit storm out there

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I turn
Every social media site
Giving attention to
   groups
grumbling about issues
who don’t have answers
To make the changes

Institutional racism
Free tuition
Higher minimum wages for
  On campus jobs
A coffee monster not
   Acknowledging the holiday spirit

Fuck him  Fuck her
Politics are now a dramedy

There is war
 Terrorism
Hunger and poverty
Most likely related to the
     The world disorder

I could be the problem
I am the problem
For not having the passion
   Or strong views
Others hold

For I’m just trying to
Keep myself sane
Raise my children
The best I know how
And make
  Sure I keep checking the expiration
Dates on my dairy
 Before I expire

life is what you imagine




I imagine myself
With no cares in the world
Money, women, whiskey and wine
At my disposal

Soaking up life until
It runs dry

Until I die of natural causes or
Die a result of my lifestyle

I imagine myself
A great writer
Adored and hated by all

I imagine these things as
I lay in bed at night
Staring at the ceiling
While my dog plays
Hide and seek with
The blankets until he
Finds the right spot

I imagine these things
Until my eyes grow bored

then the alarm sounds off
and it’s time for me to let my
dog out so he can imagine
he is free
