Barred Owl

Art, Daily Life, Future Plans, mur, October 2015, Quick Thoughts, Random

This species of owl exists
in the Eastern United States
(North America,
for future reference)
It has ever since
humans began giving a shit
about where owls live.

They, as a species
struggled so hard
adapted so effortlessly
to their environment
that in a mere 20 years
they achieve Manifest Destiny
Greatest of American Dreams

Musta come on too strong
Gun to the face
Shock to the heart
When did it become
either/or, none two shall pass
Not a competitior
In the human race

Change is inevitable
Not always mandatory
Wonderland is where
Stories live in the dark
Ms Poppins is a pusher
I’ve seen the universe
In the pupil of my eye

Blindspot

Daily Life, Future Plans, mur, October 2015, Quick Thoughts

I float along the drift of this case where I met one guy while decorating the lights for a place I’d never been before it was time to see the people dance with wolves in the long night alone. Then the light shone over his shoulder twice before not seeing me sitting next to someone on the balcony making conversation with a girl who once hated my face is red from thoughts in my head about you in the arms of my care and innocence lost forever.

Do you feel it too?
I see you.
Vibrating
at my speed.

Making my way out of town.
I hope you get to know me before then.
The best thing about me is the people I know.

Fortuitous

Thank God!

You’re here!

Couldn’t do it without you.
Except
I got by this long.
Not that you aren’t captivating
Devastatingly
But honestly
I waited here so long, I had time to think.

Thinking, your delay allowed for much,
Just enough gestation to consider.
I don’t want to keep this relationship.
It’s a hard decision for any woman
To decide if the passion you inspire
at the first spark of your smile
Is when the commitment truly starts.

Communication is unreliable.
Even the body doesn’t know
If pregnancy is right –
until at least the 2nd trimester.
It took you 3 months to decide.
Exactly how long it takes
For me to deserve better.

Always for the best.
I don’t think your extra bags
Are going to fit in my new
lean lifestyle.
Feng shui and shit.
Not to mention
The obvious lack of appreciation.
The internal rhythm and sway
Human nature at its most primal,
Like torture and rough sex.

So cool

I look at the sunset
And say – that’s cool.
Do you hear passion
In the understatement?
My aching heart wincing
Pain from nature’s beauty.
Consistently unique colors
Smeared on temporal entropy
Like butter on dry toast.
I’m humming a melody
only I can hear. Monotone.
The chords are too weak
To support the structure.
Fortified harmonic lining
For her pleasure, at least.
Unintentional attention
Drawn to the sound itself.

Masochism

Made attempt #2 at a home bikini wax.

I resemble a burn victim.
A mostly symmetrical one, at least.

Ironically, the pain level is tolerable.
(I’ve had worse.)

Espress Yourself

Art, October 2015, P & H Cafe, Quick Thoughts

Madonna’s temple hangs in the thicket
Next to the halo, used only in emergencies.
Babies flirt with walking the runway
In heels made of wasted civil liberties
Locally sourced and organically grown
Garage bands striving for glory
Amid discord searching for harmony
Do what you love until you can’t
Then scrape together a Plan B
Like teaching or serving coffee
No worries about the money
Drawing in, creating kinetic energy
Negative space rushing to fill
The list of things to do before I die.

Chemistry

Quick Thoughts

I’m cray-cray in so many ways
There are terms and categories
Medicines and therapies
But what if we’re wrong
The thin line of brilliance
A tautly drawn tight rope
Drawn between madness
And the impossible dream
Will anyone choose to see
Look up from the doldrums
See beyond the Spanish Moss
Brightness comes from the sky
All the planets – Mars, Jupiter –
Only reflect light. Sun and stars
Light the universe.
If you aren’t shiny
I won’t see you.
Whatever that’s worth.
All this light
you’d suppose
Deflecting glares
Radiation safety.
I’d wear lead if
It came in chain mail.
Falling for a uniform
Dancing like I fuck
Part of the music itself
Inside me, find serenity
Forever in peace.
All men.

Communications

Art, Daily Life, October 2015, Quick Thoughts, Reasons for Things

Face to face is best
Except for bad breath
So many qualities
Not listed here
Keeping my cool
Abiding like a dude
Biding my time
Remembering how to fly
No more toreador
No more floor mat
No more fronting
The last screw
Was my last straw
Story taking shape
Characters aplenty
Time to move on
The beginning ends
Right as I started
Before I can decide
To change my mind.
