PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i've got one eye open and two closed hands

explain again because i don't understand

i'll be late to your funeral

thus determined to be destined early for my death



shown to the closed casket

you know i wouldn't ask it

shell shocked so well i can't stop



slowly sank myself to some depth

can't crawl out now, there's no one left

painstakingly erased your name i can't place



this breath laid deep amidst the ridge

the sight of which might make me sick

once placed in, it takes alot out

then i'd never know what it all was about

-



just like james bond in a pond with lawn gnomes

the past reacts for our open

relationship

we jump ship with anchors in aweigh station

and ride a steam caboose with your sunday shoes on



side by side we cross stitch

i put on a stop watch and you watch this



inner to the outer spaced out your persuasion

to be what i know you have made

beliefs come clean like greensleeves

and make like your heart tree when your soul leaves



pulling at the coil

and we're moving slowly down

there's no one at the top

of the stairs now

-



it's no longer me. i can't quite see what i don't believe.

got to straighten out these edges

so they don't seem like sleeves.



what's it all mean to four foreign fortresses?

now i've got actresses to factor in these matresses

a spider with muscles rides past running hussles.

get on the next stop for the busses to brussels.



it used to be better back then

now only first

the problem's growing worse



you're only faking the closed eyes

to pretend you can't see this

-



my palm frond's gone when my lawn grows

and beatrix kicks in with the late mailers

wherefore art thou meat cellers?

and therefore our arts greet dwellers



i'm greased complete, but not east in athens

and some delete my priest inhalers

shrivel - come hither and weather my flannel

don't change the channel - i'd rather do battle



i've cell shocked the shell examined

and had it lowered to a great land

well, next the asians and a spanish planet

yes, you'll have that

i got it with a hard hat



gotta go farther faster, father.

if i've no dollar, then you go longer.

-



let me please rephrase sense in which nothing less

could quite come down right now - dead or alive

if there's one step two step three cottage cheese

we're factoring in the knowledge of spinning whales better



sleek hand i'd read a big red wrecked bandaged

and everything else is a little less damaged
