Gun Violence

Thunder clouds erupt from metal fingers

Spewing bitter hate candy

Leaving crimson petals in its wake

A black hole whose hunger, we can't sate

Nerds Rule!

We were mocked. We were ridiculed.

We were bullied. We were fooled.

But things are different in this school.

Because this time now nerds rule!

We bring the party. We bring the fun.

Calculator in one hand, comic in the other one.

We got the toys, the clothes, and the references.

When it comes to awesome we have no preferences. 

We heart Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, and anime.

We heart magic, science, and role-play. 

We huddle around grouped comrades.

We wear homemade death suits from head to nads.

Now I raise voice to fellow bronies, browncoats, and whovians.

And to fellow trekkies, potterheads, and sherlockians.

Let all around the blue globe know our culture aloud.

We are nerds. We are nerds and proud.

Pumped Up Puppet Jumble Tongue#9

Cereal boxes two-stepping down canyon

the sewer bowels of too many units.

Furtive rats scurrying to night holes

on boxed wheels escaping the vice, which

squeezes bodies too small without mercy.

Into tableau steps pumped up puppet,

ebony silk cover stretched over framework

skeins of black wool escaping constraints

of rakish topper askew, front at the back

lower half covering cinched by woven rope.

London Bridge is falling down, falling down.

Peg holders tied tightly in entwined cotton

in readiness for puppet’s getaway pronto.

Manikin is creator of names, abstract designs

spumes canisters of liquid mist on blocked cement

marking his existence, evidence of his prowess.

Golden dawn sphere in puffy blue quilt embraces

signatures misplaced in everyday places.

Long snake held by many liquefies artwork

units willing to work for valuable green paper.

Rats return in crammed wheeled boxes while

pumped puppet does Rip Van Winkle

for long time no see until next time he froths.

Petri Dish

accidents walking into verloving doors

colliding with too-good-to-be-trues and ain't-you-just-a-fools

what a mess! cultured stars in the Hefty garbage-bag nights

with an unbreakable pinky-swear to care take of crime

all and for once.

laugh with me:

coin-rattling incidences taste like moons with Hershey Kisses for craters and

the slight of hand leads to fortuitous happy-stances.

Iron of Ignorance

Knowing only one

We're bound in chains

But knowing many

We are free

Jumble Tongue #9

Sack the envy

A lackluster chain

Each link a hasty 

addition

A few inches 

Of length

Pride glows

In crown jewel 

Jubilation

Passing twin 

Honeyed palms 

Such as mine.

Kleenex Cultivation:

Operations performed to grow and sustain lung-full in-body prison rooms within an animal gel pool, if not, on the other hand, the strain of clinks built up by this theater.

The one language

Hennaed veils

Gold-red dresses

Breaking bouquets

Tossing the glass

Slaughter the flowers

Confetti the cows

Cremate the memories

Keep the body in your heart

Cry casseroles

Share tears

Dig fingers

Cut off graves

Humans are unilingual

No matter how diverse

When laughing

When crying

When feeling

Next of kin

Yeah, yeah we get it

Chipping off the old block

Tying my wrists bloody

Just to get a taste

But nobody listens

Hello father are you there?

Terrible demon wedged betwixt my psyche

No more, no less

Help me please

Falling echoes

Just another boy who can't swim

Running Swiftly 

Chased by venomous arachnids

Mama tried to keep me in her web

I used the spindles for kindling

Wake up

Another dead body combing through the dust

Whirlwind trip

Sanguine handcuffs 

Muffling the sound 

Another boy lost

Wild world drowning

Splintering driftwood I touch

Culture in my Jumbled Mind

Little worms sliding around

The fear factor is the challenge

But it's not worth the prize.

The mesmerizing prize get a lot of birds.

It keeps them on the ground with the worms below.

But the grand shining Sun waits for those who don't

And I will grab myself a bug

And slurp it down and I'll Sing.

I'll sing about the no worries I will (not) have for the rest of my days

It won't be easy,

But I will try to fight the hooks that come down

Whatever bait is on there is not worth the the sharp needle breaking my lips.

For that culture I will not take,

But the good meaty stakes is what I'll eat

And season blends is what I'll make.
