Pick Pocket

she comes whispering...
gyrating her ample hips
grotesque flame color on her lips
trying to pull me down
to mount me on the ground
“while she picks my pockets clean.”

he comes whispering...
wares, innocent in his hand
trips offered, never leaving; you understand?
trying to get me so high
to lose the will to decide
“while he picks my pockets clean.”

they come whispering...
wearing those Italian suits
lying tongues sloppy and loose
trying to fool me to believe
their crock of hypocricy and greed
“while they pick my pockets clean.”

Sage screaming, “Who is really to blame?”
“Is it not self that allows
isn’t me the one taking final bow?”
“Trying to get just get on by
to shuck and jive, to stay alive?”
while our pockets are picked clean...



bleeding...

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"

Love,

Wonderful poem bleeding. I enjoyed it to the max.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
