when my fuzzed
out past first
kissed
a blank leaf
of paper
with the tip of
my green
pen,
who foretold the dam
burst or the flood
that would..
soon
follow?
i’ve spit more
venom
than
i’m inclined to
swallow..
and with mixed
and mashed
results,
i’ve embraced a
calling to..
write nursery
rhymes for
adults.

..i underline ‘with mixed results’…not sure i’m yet an adult.

i stroke ivory and
hold each note
in violet,
i roll my tongue about
my mouth and spit
out the bees..
as must be done to
clear the way
for perfect
song!
if airway gets constricted
i’ll just hack a bit
to clear it,
and as each note
falls flat, ‘
i’ll..
++++
forgive it,
and..
keep on
wailing til
i nail
it.

paint tubes
are dusty
and
the brushes have
such selective
memory
once stashed away,
once the artist’s
grown
lazy or doubts one’s
own abilities to
harness
truth through
creativity.

hate to see difference dismissed
as a downgrade in lieu of
acceptance for the diversely perverse
brains and bodies overflowing
with untapped creativity
we are,
seems the former’s a rather
superficial surmising of
one’s worth and
ability..
++++
considering how
book smart we
think we
are.

i’ve a lust for loss
and costly
labor,
it streaks my screen
good and
dark,
a purge of art
for wild’s
sake
it over works
the heart,
and brightens up
my powder
face
++++
in the crags and
creases most
lacking
faith’s beauty
and grace.
