Mug

Just read your coffee mug

The one you adore

I bought it for real

At the surplus’s store

The poem says it all

Hope it wets your vagina

It’s written by a  girl

That’s makes them in China

I’d buy you a boat 

Or maybe a yacht 

Swim naked in the pool

And maybe get caught

Or we could stay home

Maybe binge a show

Drink coffee from your mug

Ill maybe give you a blow

Shoot for the Moon

Can’t figure you from that smile

Will she stay for a while?

Wonder if I’ve flipped my lid

Wonder why you misunderstood 

Gotta wonder 

why not shoot for the Moon?

It’s not to late

It’s not too soon

not too soon

Etc.

 There ain’t no distance 

I won’t travel for love

There ain’t a place I won’t go

Set me up and I’ll be there

There ain’t nothing left

I don’t care.

Warriors & Artists

Tell me how you cut through it all

Did you take the arm, the leg, the head

First for free?

Maybe the mind is how you play

You’re like a stray dog maybe

One with fleas 

you talk words

They mean noting to this 

We’re in a struggle comrades and

We must resist

Disappear

Well, before this device

bonded to my mind

Before it became 

that thing I had to find 

I had ideas…

About Humankind

And the end

of 

it all.

Now they have me

In an ocean of fear

Sometimes I wish it to

dis-

Apoear

So all I got and

Why we are here

Is driven by 

Some Bourbon and beer

No wonder now when

I go to sleep

I don’t hear the sirens

Not even a peep. 

* Readers note you stayed here and that’s special. So

…the idea here is to be sure that you will stop worrying about connecting with permanent things, which frankly is everything in our temporal (temporary) world. And if  you do that, you’re disappointed every time things don’t work out. Because you didn’t participate. You only lamely wished.

So then—then, if more of us tried, we might have a more peaceful little dot in the cosmos.

Untangle Mick Jagger

I found you in a place

I thought you would never appear

I got nothing left to do

But consult with my fear

About a soul like you

I’m caught up in your 

flex-a-biology

The way you use me as your muse

Fetched from your quiver each and every word

String ‘em up one by one

Together to amuse

Oh, untangle me from this spell

Far from my reach

Deep into hell

I’m now seeing

Like never before 

‘bout how things work

‘n how things go

Etc.

It’s Been A While

 I’m aware that I’m gonna lose you

I′ve known a while now

I've been trying on that feeling

I've been wearing it around

Or imagining myself

As the person that you need

Just to feel your quiet wanting

For something I′ll never be

′Cause I can't change myself

To suit you

Oh I can′t change myself

To suit you

Been steering clear of conversations

Where you might ask me how it feels

Like me saying it out loud

Would be the thing that makes it real

But I'm noticing it′s easy

Your questions few and far between

You've run out of space for knowing

What everything means to me

Oh why haven′t you left?

Why haven't I?

Oh why haven't you left?

Why haven′t I?

And I want you, I still want you

Expect I′m going to

For some time

And I miss you, I already miss you

'Cause we′ve been out of tune

For some time

It's been a while

It′s gonna be a while

It's been a while

It′s gonna be a while

Oh it's been a while

It's gonna be a while
