In the grand scheme
Of this push for change bit
I’m the business man with a soul
Character
Lex Luthor with a cold
And we can end scene
Because that line is a metaphor for deep
Shit
That might not be necessary for the rhyme
I just had a lot of time
Through a series of unfortunate events
At 3:28 p.m. I find myself in my mind
Sitting down at this bus station
So tired
You’d think I’d found a new form of meditation
Realising for some
That the planet is still quite large
I see it as a tugboat
But for many it’s a barge
Rolling in the deep
Shit
Peep this
I’m traveling
From one locale to another
The journey I’m on has me feeling
Like
“I’ve been around the world and I, I, I
I Can’t find my baby”
But I always know why
My life could … Continue reading

The Truth
The truth
She said
Told me
Myself
That I would speak said truth
Is it a dead truth
An in my head truth
Headphones on my head
In a lead booth
Where nothing will ever get through
So she’s the only one there saying
I get you
Wrong time and place
But I’m wondering
Will I ever get to
Touch you
Feel flesh to flesh
Panties are see through
Mesh
“Ease my mind.
Please me.
I’m waiting
For you to approach me from behind.”
I’m hoping to hear
Also wondering
Do you mind
If l speak of other women in here
This private moment we share
This skinny one with the right shape
Or the pretty one
With black brown hair
Or the one who’s on my arm
While the pants I wear
The truth she said
But is this the truth I hear
For you I care
Give me … Continue reading
100 Day Story: Day 00009
He liked surprising her
Catching her off guard
He thought to himself
That one day
Maybe not this Monday
They should give him an award
“You have that look on your face.
You just thought of a dumb joke
Didn’t you?”
He feigned hurt
After she spoke
“Many folks
Would laugh at those words
But I guess you don’t observe
High comedy.”
“Absurd
And aren’t you supposed to be at work.”
“Long lunch.
Thought you could use some company.”
“What did you bring for me?
I’m so hungry
I could eat Hungary.”
“Now whose jokes don’t provoke
Laughter.”
“Food first.
We’ll debate after.”
So he served her take out
Like a waiter
Anticipating
How long it would take her
But she was finished
Less than ten minutes later
He changed his mind about commenting
On how she’d inhale her
Food
“Stop looking at me like that.
I’m eating for two.… Continue reading
100 Day Story: Day 00008
She awoke languidly
She heard that word somewhere before
She thought it fit her mood
Comfortably nude
Next to her
He was in a deep slumber
Light snore
She won’t wake him this time
That would be rude
Especially after last night
Well
It started yesterday evening
Maybe it was the quality of the food
Or the way he spoke
Or his eyes
Maybe the way he dressed
Or what he said
Most of it jests
Jokes
To keep her laughing
Or maybe it was his last words at the table
Maybe they said it best
“You’ll never have to worry.
There are no others.
Rest assured
I know your value
Your worth.
I know that I am blessed.
I know in the past small things grew
And split us apart
But this is now
Maturity
That was then
Youth.”
Remembering that part of the evening
She smiled
Looking down… Continue reading
100 Day Story: Day 00007
She awoke early
He was usually the one
To do the early mornings
And late nights
But the last had been
An especially late night
Spent comforting her
Taking steps forward
Even if things
Weren’t fully made right
Besides
Her mother was coming early
And they
Meaning
He and her mother
Weren’t on the best of terms
Always only
Exchanging the best of words
Which was
Better than her father
Because actions were so cold
Not even acting
Would allow them
To exchange the best of verbs
So they had been
For a while now
Exchanging
The less of words
And some days
She couldn’t see
The point it served
With this knowledge
Letting him rest
Seemed like the path
Best observed
She let those thoughts go
Let them rest again
Looking forward to the short time freed
The things that might happen
What it meant
Etcetera
The rest and … Continue reading
