Random works that I have been working on
TOO HOT
Too hot to sleep
Too hot to think
So I will greet
The heat and be
LEFT OR RIGHT
Left or right
Blue or red
Liberal or Conservative
They are both
Sides to same the coin
In the American Body
Even though the feet
The lowest rung of the hierarchy
may move ahead
trying to get ahead of its neighbor
The hands
the manipulators
Stay in the pockets
Moving cash from one hole to the next
And when they get dirty
One hand
Always washes the other
COFFEE COFFEE
Coffee coffee the black queen
We suckle at the teat of your dark beans
To drive away the hunger of sleep
To steal the dreams that morpheus reaps
And the terrors that phobias pounds like gin
And for that service rendered what is the price we pay?
“My drones, I only ask for your loyalty” is what she would say
So clasp your hands together with cup to drink
and try not too hard to think
The day after all
has yet to begin
