Double Negative
Is a double negative always positive
I posit....N O...no
If we took all the negative things in the world
put them in a big pile
divided them
counted each side
would the result be even or odd
I don't know the answer to this but I assume(and you know what that makes us both) ....oh the hell with cliches
I assume that the answer would not be the answer for long
the way of the world is negatives are created
faster than positives even on slow days
such as this one....right here
Ok, maybe in math...but this is a poem
hmmmm....I wonder what double digression looks like
what about photography? ....I don't know
I am all digital now
anyway if a boink is negative......
what is a double boink?
in a double blind study where both participants were in fact blind
the boinker of the fist boink said to the boinker of the second boink
Mama said fist boinking would make us blind
and here we are part of a wonderful scientific exspearament
want some gum?

Love and Optimism Roll
When love and optimism stroll in the straw
the future is born without fang or claw
Where is there a negative love?
Who wants/needs it?
and its chemical glove
What we have is soaring sensational blithe
we live through twists, trysts and ti raids
Even so we carry our hearts on our wings
very song of very warm breeze
eating nourishment all of our days
from each other's marrow
not just our own ways.

November Narcissus
Four white fingers break ground
Lime green nails hunger scratch heaven
Each set bulbous...pots silver three
Narcissus blind to looking glass delight
Gold glory comes creeping night

White Hot Wonders
We look in to find white wonders
look out dangers unawares
wired to supernovae campsites
with pots of ashen grit
Turn up the volume
on my misgivings
so I can take back
the leavings of my soul
No fortune teller drinks here
No blind psychic sees the shapes of tea

Ellusive
There are things I want
I may never have
Places I would go
perhaps never will
Oceans to share
with someone
I may never meet
But I shall ever dream
and in my dreams
the waves are yours and mine

Theif Motif
I once asked if she was a monier
she said only if you throw me a boner
I said you're no bitch
'Make a girl rich
and pass the crown jewels on over'

Neck Romancey
I once fell for a girl
But I fell on her neck
it was such a lovely neck
So white and smooth
Why did she lie so still
She could have lied while running
when she died she clutched my neck
Like a hen setting her nest
I cried but loved her anyway
Right before she died she sang
'Oink three times to the Selig 4 you boink me
Twice on the pipes if you want me to blow'
Then she was gone...annihilated....killed like a bottle o cheap rum

Who Blows that Nor'easter
From Walgreen's Pharmacy
a pink stuffed bunny rabbit
that sings 'Jesus loves me'
for a frantic foster girl-child at Easter
(where's your occidental mind?)
hmmmm....Just what the DR ordered?
is a metaphor for what?
A holiday completely morphed
...but does it know yet?
One wonders what future forensic morphology
will show
No wonder God made adultery against the law.

Taking Away The Gloss
Losing my fancified way with words tonight
All in an effort to say
You are ok....well more than ok
Sometimes I just want to be plain
Let you know I still think kind thoughts of you
I could go....get mushy....but then the plainness suffers
So that's it....

Thanks For all the Ones you Gave
Thanks or all the ones you gave
I shall treasure them
since I know they came from you
That you took your precious (precocious) time
to read the blather I've lathered here
for you
I know each one was carefully wrought
made especially for me
anyway I would be remiss if I didn't thank you
for all your trouble
and yes...you are always right

If You Choose To Leave Me
I will not be sad
If only you will promise
Be as happy as you can
I never meant to hold you
Oh so very long
I kept believing in forever
When one ever was enough
Just one moment of your
Attention was worth
The universe
A line I never wrote you
That comprises everything
Everything you are that's good
Everything I hope for you
Please just prosper if you leave me
Forget me if you must
Just know there's a part of me
That's proud enough to bust
Just to say I knew you
Just to think that we were friends
Who could have been so much more
If we could justify the ends

Burried Most Of Me
Long ago I dug a girl
and called her my own grave
but I saved this little speck of me
I now give to you
it's really nothing special
but it's the part that wasn't used
it's a bit like string theory
running head to toe
containing parts of brain, heart
and the rest
You can have it if you want it
it is here for only one little thing
to make you happy every day
while never hurting anything
can't really do better than this
it's all that's left of me
I wondered if you watered it
and sang it some sweet song
if it would grow a me again
or float up to the sky?

Show
Moon crowded by clouds
Sycamore fingers spread
blackened veins to hide
cold night...one to fur the face
lamp behind the veil
who can tell

Yes You Are MY Hero...or is it heroin
You have always been my hero
With your brave and sullen face
scoffing at the world
afraid of no disgrace
And scoffing at religion too
while clinging to a twig
my dear I've never seen your hair
but I won't lift up your wig
I think you must have pulled it out
but really that's ok
worry has a way of giving back
ulcers for decay

Hot Love
Hot love
like hot dams
and variant spellings of horse
crawl into the bush(and blush)
creep like wild fire
sweeping prairies like tails(of a bay)
this is our story
telling itself to our gums

Can't unwish the world
You can't unwish the world love
it is this way for a reason
people wanted it so bad
every expectation is a prayer
desires spoken become
hopes treasured explode in jeweled colors
it will be this way till
the wish-tiller turns the boat
another way....onto shadier creeks
on calmer afternoons
in a simple place with room
for only me and you

Links to Treasure
On your inverted hills we played
on your crooked grass
between two serpentine trees
that seemed to let us pass
How good was alteration
needle moving thread
ribbons hugging close the trunk
our treasure hides right there

To Alienate
To alienate and never burp
That is the task for me
Come diving in from outer space
No name, no mission, no place
Eat you, your words, but leaving something else
There'll be no destruction in this wake
footprints of tears...yes....lei of love
and...ok.... a playful wink of scorn
but it was all written in the sand
anyway

It is a sound
When my single drop
Finds the stillness of your pool
When the ripples walk
Hand in hand....like us
To a waving grassy shore
Our certainty are words
You feel but never have to say
But look their clarity into my soul
while throwing out the key
