===LUMPS IN THE DIRT===
=======================
———————–
new brick walls…
new lumps in dirt.
Quadrangles are now triangles.
CHANGES, CHANGES, CHANGES..
Rec center is now 4 times bigger.
Construction everywhere.
CHANGES, CHANGES, CHANGES…
The new garage is really huge.
The new facades are really fake.
CHANGES CHANGES CHANGES…
ALWAYS CHANGING.
but,
The art hall remains the same…
always dirty, always grimy, always in need of repair.
MU’s wasted money…
Says the Millionare
as he passes through the
doors that bear his name.
———————-
Creativity stifled.
Funds are now dried up.
changes everywhere.

===REMEMBERING LONG AGO===
==========================
Gone are the days of wandering
around the Ville at night
Gone are the days of wandering
a camera without a light
gone are the days of wandering
paintbrush in my hand
gone are the days of wandering
throughout all of the land
running barefoot in the groves
through the pavement
on the concrete and the stone
10 years and more have passed
time pushes on…
History and Present Clash.
Time to begin the new song.
Time to follow the new path.
singing in the rain
watching the clouds again.
prisms of light and dark.
The greys, greens, blues, violets,
and of course the reds, purples, and
hazy darkness behind the trees so
brilliant red
Don’t forget the Oranges too.

=========================
==DISTANCE IN THE DARK===
=========================
In to the night
we shall traverse
far
and
close
only
a
flicker
of
light
between
a small dim yellow flick
or maybe a currelean dab
as the night screen closes in
with ultramarine and precious
prussian blues.

==============================
===LITTLE WHITE BUNNY TALES===
==============================
Where the fuck did that go?
Never God Damned Mind.
The cursing times…
Hide the tounge
The kids are near.
Hide the truth
Bring out the Lies
It’s Santa’s time.
Tooth faires sprinkling
different colored glitter
all around…
Why’s the colors different mom?
H377 if I know… Oh no…
I mean… darling dear,
oh me, oh my.
Let me tell you some more lies.
==========================
======================
=======GAPS===========
======================
Gaps between the poems
make you stop and think
times to reflect
times to remember
times to pause
and think.
======================
======================
=====SLOW DEATH=======
=======================
you are alive and well
you are sick and ill
the coughs of sick old
middle aged people
coming from their kids
all life is a poem…
REFRAIN is not far away
sound of the
busy bees working away
in their prison cells
those little things called
cubicles…
=======================
==========================
=====Cube cell hell=======
======ever binding========
======ever grinding=======
10 punch numbers worn off
keyboards dusty for years.
Counting down the days
til the weekends is here.
and freedom from these 4 walls
is clear… at least a while.
