old news

Ode to the Toiler

Other worldly turn:

Wax museum,

statuettes,

wait,

dead of thought

one eye mesmorized upon

the craning arc

of laundry spins

Dryers fry high pitched melodies

Mimicking bubbling brooks

O settle, the hum of Mama's lullaby

blanketing heat

6 o'clock quiet Saturday

Ringless

torn expressions

strut, in the encrusted fluorescent bulbs (light)

Folding their bodies,

respectively, like bruised tin cans

Modelin

floured dirt hand prints

stained on pockets,

smudged into knees,

the boldest of coal rouge

Roadside Attraction,

Hop-pause

Clean and go

Change overflow

Toiler USA.

--------------------------------------


Not a dime a dozen

I'm not a repeating,

archetype, of another,

I am my own sing song time

my own happy go lucky aire

I do not subscribe to your

critical mumbo jumbo

looking to critique the flow of

my soul on to my paper

the movement of my hands

outta the deepest imagination

of my child's soul.

Everything is beautiful because it came out,

So remember oh remember

darling imagination

grow with water and wonder

indulge in curiosity and space coastin



----------------------------------------------



Bid me to buy. All nations sing out with one angsty cry.

More dollars, let's print more bills. Let's make pretend

we have enough change for all manner of frills.


------------------------------------


Standing solid

angels trumpet ablaze

I thought I saw God,

in your face that day.

A turbulent beehive broke open

and around the commotion

we stepped

eyes locked.

You unaware

chattered in my ear,

undercurrents of a lyrical flow.

Painting philosophy

through broken syllables,

crooked 1, 2 beats

and the world disappeared

one man

one woman your gaze trained on me

in your force

I stretched broken butterfly wings

humble tounge, thoughtful praise

I thought I saw god in your face that day.
