Here be 7, 8 and 9 of 14 poems I read last Sunday to maybe 20 people.

Vérité

According to community owned reality
you can’t boil watched water
or save stitched nines in time
but clean underwear is next to giddiness
the first squeak gets both the oil
and the fast bed early rise prize
while money parts fools with ease
though not all the time
in a government of the eatable
too often beaten
by bad breath gift horses
in homes housed unholy
some Simons so simple
made to drink water
roll lone moss unstoned
in gelded gold glitter
their beauty self inflicted
skim deep disturbing
carpe per diem
in well ending wallow
back bridges burning
too many egg baskets
in forests unfallen
for sometimes the right hand’s just wrong
when tossing apples at doctors
too easy to get gone
the do down done diddled
bathwater from baby
to soft pillow the conscience
on single step journeys
where the weak shall inherit our mirth

Our Daily Scaffold

We’re but a game of hide and meat
deceptive fog bequeathed by heat
to cheat the sheath of self by soul
to eat and propagate our goal

We rise in wonder, wander off
our reason tries with labored laugh
to catch our lies of lip within
and patch our eyes of if and when

World Warp Weave

Maybe so maybe so I say
to your bob and nod and nay
but for quick fur instance
if a cat got cash
you be trash or interest?

It’s the moist mark of the past
the old glow gone glitter
that makes new the now
this wow pow ow now
of lies allowed and certified
by clones of clowns
who not alone
abound in corporal service.

You choose your lie
eye line your why
and Zen the one you worship.
