Where the Wild Things Are

Diesel

Rocket

I am already tired
and then things just happen
9:30am
the fun begins
and
acetylene cannons rocket
out of proportion
stopping traffic
using up all the extra
energy
I might have.
Everything is at a standstill.
...
Slowly moving back
and waiting.
For safety.
Peace be still.

Diesel

New friends
always offer new experiences.
Brothers, sisters and friends
come together
and
drink
a lot
and have fun conversating.
It's nice when work and play
intermingle
so well
I haven't had fun like this
in quite awhile.

PapierMache

Thin strips
watery,
pasted over
to hide the color.
Blue.
Time taken out of the day.
Waking up early
to apply
thin strips.
Thin strips
watery
applied to canisters of hot air
to give shape.
Wait
wait
wait
to dry.
I try not to break my thin promises
I try not to hide my color

Getting out

I don't know what I am supposed to be doing
but I don't feel like being
in
I tried to watch "Mr. Show"
Didn't work
Slept through most of it
Sounds, color and fuzz exploding in my mind
Lazy afternoon
Rain and sunshine
intermingle
outside my window
but the television stays the same
The television
constantly
constantly
constantly
...
I am consistently amused
in my dreams
Laying in my solace
waiting for the impending
headache.
I listen to the stories
of other minds
of happenings when other people
get out
Go
searching or just
keep living

spit and conversation

No new details
Just spit and conversation.

Marquis de Sade

Breaking boundaries
Flaccid
limp
boundaries
Rebelling
Rebelling
rebelling
rebelling
Playing with time
playing with minds emotion
Playing with anatomy
Imagining
Imagining places
Imagining us in places
Imagining places
Imagining people
together
Breaking boundaries
Loving
Liking
But together
understanding
Erotically understanding
angst
tension
Breaking boundaries
and loving
and hoping to understand
One day

BASQUIAT

In my former life
I was Basquiat.
Everything was political.
Then i came back as a black woman.
Politics, politicized.

28 days

I sit silently
in hopes
that I break through this glass ceiling.
I am giving my self 28 days
to greatness
After that...
I haven't given it a thought
If I am not careful
I will become a jack of all trades
and a master of none.
Post modern
So dull
So gray
So I give myself 28 days
Then I re-evaluate
Gotta find so many things
amidst the rubble
of a life
where anything goes
and all is celebrated
I never wanted life to be like this
I never wanted life to be like this
28 days.
