g_d damn it

 

Holster your Hossanas

No need to pray for me
I got God covered
The Supreme and I
reached a late night accord
over cocktails
where I locked in future grace
in exchange for my foregoing
to ever spew
the invective GOD DAMN again
as he mumbled something
about blasphemy
and my dangling by a thread
eternal soul

Who knew the Lord
took our frickin words
so god damn literally?

Obstructed View

 

Can't get to your destination
when lacking adequate navigation

Stand on mountaintop high
to achieve proper elevation

For once view the forest
OVER the trees

The panorama is yours to see
in it's glorious entirety

Way beyond the rigid
self made two dimensional
landscape boundary lies
our oft limited vision
gets imprisoned by

Boomer Tuner

 

Here I go again
memory tripping

A common escape route
of my gray demographic

Driving through time zones
to nowhere in particular
calibrating radio knobs
for decent FM reception
seeking clear tune connection

And yet
all I got was a weird mix
of static and station overlap
that changed constantly
with each mile post traversed
as I drifted in and out
of antenna range

As audio chaotic as this
sound blender may have seemed
there was a random beauty
to this discordant symphony
and the required
knob turning patience
to participate in it

Today my vehicular
audio system
is satellite based
guaranteeing surround sound
Dolby Stereo perfection
no matter where I may be globally

I know this is digital progress

Blessed be the technology
of the ease of use 21st Century
but to tube and diode
based dinosaurs like me
there is something to be said
for the glorious imperfections
of scratchy old fashioned
manually adjusted
radio wave transmissions










The Missing Wheel

 

Here at Cafe Reverse
dessert comes first

Then the entree is served
and the appetizer closes the meal

On upside down plates
the raw food is dispatched
uncooked and unwrapped
by a pissed off staff
comprised of native born
American citizens
who feel these low end jobs
are
beneath
them

Perhaps immigrants
derided as illegal aliens
by those
of a prejudiced bent
who perform so many
thankless tasks
for subterranean wages
in our service economy
will not be appreciated fully
until their hard working asses
are gone permanently

Take Out the Trash

 

The great reconciliation will come
when both ends of the spectrum
and scared shitless moderates
can finally reach agreement
that their contingent is imperfect

When even the crazed
fire breathing zealots
can no longer stomach
or desperately rationalize
some of the sleazes on their side
The painful self confession
that they have team members
who are so morally deficient
and beyond redemption
they need to be condemned
BY THEM

Even if these cretins
share opinion positions
that advance the Cause
There has to be
a bad behavior Rubicon
good people simply can not cross

The driving force
of our much needed unification
will be the shared acceptance
that character matters once again

Off Point

 

Back and forth
on which path to choose

The old fork in the road thing

The chart tomorrow game

As the debate waned
the inevitable 
"What's the point?" came

My retort these days
is "Why does there have to be one?"

What is wrong
with a little pointless fun
that serves no purpose
but a smile or two
to help us get through
this boring
color between the lines life?

Sexolution

 

Heather the former feather dancer
was a professional dream teaser

She's a throw back to innocent times
when erotica was all in the mind

Sexy silhouette, sultry shadows
flirtatious winks, naughty show

Today the fantasy game
is all silicon based and in your face
with little left to the imagination

Grinding hard to lonely souls
for the currency in their pockets

While a withered Heather sighs

Pours drinks to the obnoxious pervs
and wistfully laments her lost art

Fool and Hardy

 

Dancing on a fault line
the soon to be condemned men
bluster on and on
about their invincibility
Totally oblivious
that come tomorrow
they and their arrogance
will be gone
Their tale of self destruction
will serve
as a future cautionary tale
to those of a reckless disposition
who of course
will put this warning on ignore
because this is what imprudent fools do

Count to Three

 

Prior to launch
take a deep breathe
and analyze consequence
of hostilities unchecked

Time has always been
the blessed peace maker
that not only brings thoughtful reflection
but the most powerful protection
to our impulsive 
knee jerk reactions
that threaten to wreck
fragile human relationships

That Girl

 

She fascinates me

And not in a mere sexual way
which I guess
in my developmental sense
is real human being progress

I just find her quirkiness
and humorous innocence
so very refreshing
in this contentious age
of smart ass cynicism

OK I gotta confess
she does ooze cuteness
so maybe
there is a slight

lusty component
to my carnal attraction
but more as a wholesome
holding hands
on a carousel
G rated concept

Hell Bound Soiree

 

That loud tapping sound you hear
is the desperate congregation
of soon to be fallen angels
dancing on the tip of a spear..

Our view below ain't very clear
but the blast of thermal heat
has a definite furnace feel
one would associate with Apocalypse..

Best spare your sympathy
for this soon to be charred herd
cause our fiery fate is well deserved

For we had many a chance
to gracefully exit
this Hell bound dance
but chose instead
to proceed with the reckless arrogance
of petulant children
oblivious to the consequence
which now consigns we brats
to be forever damned

Squeezed Out

 

As I slide into blissful unconsciousness

from the cobra squeeze

tightly wrapped around my existence

my final thought will be

if only I had tapped out

when I had the opportunity

this soon to be calamity

could have been preventable easily


All the signs

of a potential disaster situation

were staring me

right in my oblivious face


Though even if I had been

paying attention

I would not have taken

the obvious threat seriously


Pride goeth before termination

Change My Mind

 

The Boomer man
that I will always be
will never comprehend
pants made of denim
with holes in them
by design..

By design?

As in on purpose?
This fashion statement blows my mind..
And not little rips anymore
with teasing peek-a-boo intent..
We're talking huge gaping shredded caverns..
Showing more skin than thread..
Which is the prurient intent I guess..

And a trend I have never been against..

But why not just wear a short dress?

(Feel free to Google this torn clothing concept)
