Camel Races
awkward camels
trip out of the gates
and start their circle run
monkey robots
whip them faster
owners ride their SUVs
along the track
and we are on the inside track
in our bus, tourist
on an unpleasant holiday
bored, and wishing for it to end
no betting, no commentary
nothing to keep us occupied
except race after race
without caring who wins
and no connection
nothing at stake
if they’d cook the loser
and feast him up
that would at least be something.
Mates
friends for life
married young
end game win
Starting Line
how you doing?
now that is a starting line
said in the sexiest joey voice
you are jut asking for sex
the ladies know it
so it is all out in the open
just waiting for it to come through
Flim School
still out of focus
the movement
of two beautiful lovers
looks graceful
fluid, timeless, art
as we move closer
tones become shapes
and edges appear
art becomes dirty
and love becomes sex
Leaves
i’ll take my leave
and leave you all
to believe what you will
and heave my hoe
until the glistening snow
melts
and spring entrenches
then marches forward
to summer
love and sport and freedom
glory be to the one above
who watches us play kickball
at night under the playground
lights
after the mosquitoes
have drank their fill
and gone to bed
then in the morning the wind
blows
chilly
the leaves turn
and fall
until they are burned
or covered with snow
Mary Todd
mary todd
lincoln’s wife
saw so much sadness
it drove her to madness
spending sprees
and asylums
dead broke
in the end
like we all are
Valentine Love
love can be like a valentine
sweet and ephemeral
or it can be hard core
sex ground down dirty
but I think I want mine true
hurt love
down on the ground
on burning asphalt
with torn jeans
and bloodied knees
asking for another moment
as if that is all that is left
all that is important
that one moment
a touch
will live forever
Ghost
i believe
that ghost exist
and talk to those
willing to listen
but i’ve been too busy
lately and can’t hear anything
Fell
fell off the ledge
at a really nice home
and now I am falling
slowly toward a destiny
an unchangeable fate
that looks like it is gonna hurt
but the air blowing by
is so nice
and the smell of barbecue
is filling my mind
with good times
of camping with you
enjoying all beef hot dogs
wrapped in tortillas
with cheese and ketchup
these were the good times
when I learned to float
even in the most perilous times
it is these moments
that I am crushed by hope
my heart heavy
and aches everywhere
Ninjas and Turtles
i am afraid of both ninjas and turtles
they are both good at hiding
and fighting and biting
i just found a lizard
that I hope grows up to be giant
so it can protect me from the N and T’s
i only hope that my new lizard friend
doesn’t grow up to be blood thirsty
and try to kill me off himself
