Heavy - a poem

go ahead
           plant your garden in the back of a theater
           a place where performances,
                                                         are pelted by tomatoes
                                                         and seeds seep,
                                                                     deeply into
                                                                     the divides
                                                         of the floorboards
                                                         as cracks began to form
             where potatoes, with their heavy skins house
             small boulders of starch
contrast.

A Trio of Warnings - Prose Poems


Ignorance
A solicioutess microscopic morsel began to eat at her audience for no other reason than to rectify the spatial deformity between it and its world.  As in darkness the being has but to eat the last of the world and then it enters the vacuum of space.  In the back of their minds they developed a certain attitude about the darkness they were living in.  There was nothing.

Arrogance
Too many kindergartners named the source as a white supremacist with skin as red as bloodied snow, the children demonstrated in the streets, picketed non-violence against the savagery of murderous Santa clauses who did not know how to eat the fables told them by jezebels that sang with food down their throats.

Pestilence
A bird flutters as it slinks overhead slithering as it warbles and waddles along icy patches.  Divided by atmosphere secure in its lack of oxygen spaces where men died to intercept and kill it.  Some succeeded most did not, for the fowl are more agile than the foul stenches of steam that escape from the rectum of cavities burrowed in earth’s crust.  Kidding themselves that the odor of their boisterous arrogance would attract with audacity the beguiling beautify that bewildered them eons.  Even those God’s envied the feathered, casting them down to create a kind with arms of flesh, and hair scattered in patterns upon their lumps.
