The Balancing Act
she's so critical
measuring the measure
of every word
riding defenseless
on the fences.
for to straddle
means to decide
not to decide.
too much energy.
how much more
to balance.

"No Flow"
there is no flow
just a tumultuous rush
whispers are gone
raucous sirens are one
static and staccato
grinds silk and satin
the jaws of circumstance
overtakes yes and no perchance
there is no flow
there is no flow
there is no flow

"She Deludes Herself"
YES what could I have been thinking
my artistry is replaceable and erasable
retreatable and deletable
another's pencil
another's words
another's poems
can easily bed down
beside you
but the next poet
will not
be able to steal my
memories

Earthworms
the little boy
scurried down the hall and
limped into
his mama's bedroom
one of her three eyes blinked
"what now?" rasped
her swollen vocal cords
"the earth worms are back"
the boy fearfully whispered
"and they are knocking on my bedroom windowpane
scratching on the screens and roaring my name"
"is your window down?"
"yes mummy, but tonight
the earth worms have thumbs"
"nonsense" the mother wheezed
"go back to your own bed, go back to sleep"
the little boy ran sideways
down the hall tucking under
his extra half leg he leaped
quickly into his bed
pulling the covers over his head
"ha, ha, ha, what took you so long?"
whispered two earth worms as
they slithered in beside him
and a cool breeze fluttered in
through the lifted windowpane
"shhh, or you'll wake mummy"
the little boy began to go insane

Heartkill
the carcass
of her heart
lay like roadkill
on the highway
of her life
barely recognizable
as any human
artform
or
humanitarian remain
not discarded
not dumped
not abandoned
along the side of the road
but a woman
that had been hit
then run over time and time again
by 18 wheeler mac trucks
masquerading as men

The Ruination of Man
the clock no longer ticks
it hums
never taking that break
to gather the energy
to tock, it just hums
denying the moment between
the inhale and the exhale
no breath between the breather
this hum
is the ruination of man

Long Live The Arctic
everything was in reverse
no pills or electroshock cures
by a doctor, chiropractor or a nurse
could be prescribed to keep children alive
thousands were driven away in a hearse
wiped out in the span of a blink
humans were becoming extinct
just like the polar bear's Arctic home was about to disappear
man had no shelter, none in the east, west, far or near
man's food source began to vanish by the tons
gardens stopped producing beans, corn and rice
not a pod, not a stalk, not a grain, not a one
the mega stores all began to go
Wal-mart, Sam's, Kroger and even Oprah's Costco
the trees were leafless, thus no carbon dioxide
causing shortages of oxygen and a change in the tide
the moon lost sight of the flow of time
there was no guarantee the sun would follow behind
but when he did the haze was so hot
the few people left wished he would not
what were the polar bears, great white whales and bald eagles to do?
they captured the few remaining humans and began to breed them in the zoo
marking each cage "homosapien" closely guarded by apes
who mocked them and tossed them pennies,
who dressed them in spandex and super hero capes
there was batman and robin and the men in black
there was a cage marked "attention deficit disorders"
and a family of "Mexicans in a red Cadillac"
one marked with "authentic graffiti by gangs"
one marked "family of rednecks" with jokes written in slang
there was a cage marked "politically correct"
where the visiting animals took their hats off in respect
it had every kind, two of each
a pair with slanted eyes, 2 blonds that could yodel
two surfers that looked like they stepped from a beach
families of healthy animal tourists paraded by
as their cubs and ponies pointed asking why
"what happened to man and all he owned"
cried out a healthy baby panda all the way from Hong Kong?"
"Oh the answer isn't easy said the gorilla tour guide
but it boils down to greed, economics,
and individual rights they swore with pride to abide
there wasn't just one thing that did them in
bad fuel choices, addiction to plastics, war
its hard to say where to begin
there were groups that killed each other,
women died of aides causing fewer mothers
some became extinct due to designer drugs
poison water from oil spills, methane pollutants and drudge
my friends you've so attentive" said their knowledgeable guide
"i want to show you a secret place, but no cameras allowed inside"
upon entering the cave the animals snorted, bleated, tweeted, cooed, and peeped
at the secret place the guide had brought them to take a peek
huddled around a table like a c.m. coolidge painting
seemingly drunk and playing cards
was Elvis, the kennedys, dr. king, jr, michael jackson and that shakespeare bard.
the animals oo-ed and ah-ed and burst into applaud
"long live the arctic"
i sat up in a panic and screamed
then wept thanking God it was only a dream
i stumbled to my computer dejected and downhearted
googled, researched then donated to a website that said "help save the arctic"

"Cheer Me Up"
"Cheer me up" I told the mirror
"Cheer me up" simultaneously
the reflection said
Annoyed I turned my back
as did the reflection, then
she sauntered off and went to bed
leaving me standing
in front of a vacant mirror
sadly depressed and shaking my head

She Bleeds Out"
burgundy bulbous
meat
plopped down
before me
is it
animal
is it
vegetable
is it mineral
it pulsates
with a foreign
familiarness
it's hot
on one side
and lukewarm
on the other
it belches
and slurps
and snorts
at me
one eyed
hunch backed
trying to get me
to remember something
long, long, long
forgotten
it moves
when I move
it pauses
when I pause
it breathes
annoyingly
loud
raspy
wheezing
like an
asthmatic
"what is it?
what are you???"
"I am love
forgotten,"
she bleeds out.

"A Virus"
you infected me with a virus
now i vomit poems
i am over heated
with the fever of poems
my bowels are gaseous
with poems
my breath stinks
with poems
i clean my ears
and the q-tip is
coated with a poem
i blow my nose
and the tissue is
green with poems
and i refuse to
go to the clinic
for i love being
this ill
