Poetry. Yep, Just Poetry

Untitled (10/12/18)

Ask me if I care today

But only

if you’re seeking honesty;

For I can & will be blunt

like a downtown Denver dispensary

w/adversarial undertones

tied to sharp knives

just to dig under your skin.

Today ain’t the day for

sun-rays & laid back,

“nothing bothers me today”

response to the masses…

Today asses is grasses

& giggling psychotics can

get on their knees &.....

Because
Some days we want to quit, & say
fuck it, I give in.
But the little pieces of our soul
which was broken in bad situations says:
No.

fuck That.

We are here to play on!
So we say
play on,
to overplayed miserable marriages,
& do it for the sake of
forsaken children.
We say play, on
to power plays played by
erratic employment bosses
in un-winnable situations of
under-value & faux appreciation.
Play on lil playa,

see, we play for keeps,

so you can keep

lazy, foul,

excuse riddled reasons for

failure in your mother’s pocket-book.

Because it is not our job to

work harder for your success

than you will.

There are days,

when we wake and are like

fuck this, fuck that;

and other days

just before we slumber and we’re like

to hell with that; tomorrow will be here

with new sun rises,

new rotations.

But it is us, who will be

stagnant, or

falter.

It is us who will taste sweet flavors,

or savor the bitterness

of defeat.

So today I rock me,

uncaring with contorted face from

insufferable flavors, knucked deep

on my tongue.

Accepting my despair, but not

moving in, not getting

comfortable, not unpacking and

living there.  Just

having a small cup of coffee,

rising up from the hole

I created…

then moving on

Untitled (Completed sometime this month)

4:30, eyelids getting heavy

like they are

enormous boulders on eyelashes

Energy crashing; need

caffeine pick-up like

pick-up line partyers

use when nose candy

goes scarce.

But this ain’t about those stairs;

we get high in different ways.

Blaze up that app

& place peepers on

numbers representing

phat bank accounts.

We work twice

for the amount.

Don’t need no accolades

just make sure that

full amount hits direct deposit

on pay-days &,

that way, we won’t

have no problems.
