He was going to come unglued. A state they were accustomed too. Because Buddy did. Like a little kid. Sniffled and whined. Toked and dined. On the People’s dime. Sorry, little fuck.

No matter. No worry. We know what to do… No crying. No swearing. No struggling you. You sit down. You […]

Well we said this and we said that. Circumstances change Bud, that’s a fact. You go ahead, there ain’t no back. You’ll get it right in a minute. Feels like hell once you’re in it. But you can get out. No needa shout. Or flail about It’s just a wet sack Punch through it.

You hit the ball then I hit the ball then Billy Bob Smith winds up his driver Straight down the fairway and Stuck in your airway a Yay! For today You remember that round in September When life was so tender We touched and embraced and revealed Our humanity but Dammit he Thought now that’s […]

So when you walk too fast past the neighbor’s house, he attacks you. If you happen to glance when the neighbor is glancing, he’ll throw shit right in your eyes. You’ll get cataracts if you’re lucky. And the couple of times the neighbor’s woke you up in the middle of the night by stabbing you […]

Handshake deals. Buddy wouldn’t dare. One cough ina room. Stankin up the air. Currency nowhere. Ain’t no buttons there. No more sneezes. Praying Jesus. Please now save us. Not WHO gave us Motherfucking disease.

A shitstorm. When it’s norm. You conform. You have to… Running on your knees. Isn’t such a breeze. Soon, you asking please… Let me up. That’s enough. No more rough. I give in.

They look but don’t see. And boy do they get angry! Flip you off. Poison your dog. Cut you off, try to Pass, road hog. Talk too loud and smell too good. Similar dress to trailer park hood. Got no sense even tho they should. They got accreditation!

Trembling. Shaking. Mad with anger. Fucking hang her! Fuck him too! What dey do?! Come out some zoo?! Don’t you shit where you eat! Shit here on the street, Where everyone sees you And what you do… Because you are Les Fox.

His fingers wanted to graze his nose. Right after they scratched his arse. His index twiched as his nose signalled gold. His eyes cleared the space and in due course A calamity of horking, gagging and farting. Snot bundling, shit staining, spit dangling on long whiskers. And long lines of well wishers Who know you […]

Equal is not equal. Not as equal as could be. And freedom isn’t freedom until Some folks are not free. Cause freedom cannot be Something truly free. Wake up, it’s time a make monaayuh!

You hug each other A bit too long Your best face forward Nothing wrong With talking ’bout the future. And what it holds. No one wants to relive Those daze of old. Feelings into action. Thoughtful in your moves. Scratchin’ out the past. Maken new grooves. Sing a new song. Nuthin from the blues. Pull […]

Ya, you don’t know and You won’t go ahead And look behind it. No, you would rather grind it. Shave a little here, a little there. A pinky weight onna scale. Who cares?! Fo’ sho’ not you. That won’t do. So? Boo hoo… Expect it.

If you find you don’t like something. Wash it away. Flush it away. Spray it down high pressure hose. Aim the aych too oh, it goes. Body odor? Stinky arse? Smell like a rode hard put away horse? Flood that shit away. And dishes do not stay In the dishwasher.

Roses are red. Shit is brown. Get confused. Stank on clown.

The boss smiles at you. You smile back. Huh, you think. That ain’t whack. Smile in traffic. All way back. Smile spreads in you. That ain’t whack. Smile flies to wife. Cat and kids. Smile flaps elbows. Tickles ribs. Daylight softens. Smothers stress. Breathing easy. Smiles are blessed.

It’s sundowners son. The evening’s begun. You’re in for some fun It’s undone now. Fret and you fumble. All that you mumble. Under your breath. East facing West. Failing the test. But you are the best You can muster?

Call on buddy. He’ll help out. Buddy knows what shit’s about. Gets shit done. Right down to it. Never says we’re done, we blew it. Plodding, plotting. Every day. Outcomes bend to see his way. It’s okay. In the frey. Dude sees all from here.

I’m not good. How bout you? Don’t you think we’re getting screwed? Holy cow, they screw us over! We ignore and onward soldier March like marching Made things better. But it takes more Than one go-getter. Let them cry. The old bed wetters. Grumbling tumblers. Second guessors. You have sealed your fate!

Please don’t heal. Bleed me out. Splash my splatter all about. Stay you now infected. God please help it spread. Use me up so totally I never will be dead.

We’re half an hour out. Two weeks away. Bin three years since you did say I’m tired of waiting. What we waiting for? You moved some way so Now you are not waiting. Now you be debating. Which is the way to go? Because you do not know. Cause the time has passed. Just like […]

Maybe you don’t understand Just how crippled you are… When you wish upon that star… Sure, the star takes you away but Not too far. Not today. But… a little glass of whiskey. Couple cold beers. Whisk away all dreadful fears. Tomorrow blames your low set bar And whispers hey, what about your star?

You gave a shit. Too many shits. Tried to make all shit fits stick. But they’re too thick. They move too slick. You’ll get sick And tired.

They could not find it. It wouldn’t be found. Searched everywhere but It was gone. Touched his hands. Set somewhere. Looked that place. Was not there. Disappeared. Clearly vanished. Likely banished. To a place far away from here. Loser…

You can lift one thousand pounds. One thousand pounds. One thousand pounds. You can lift one thousand pounds. One pound at a time.

Negotiations. Were at a standstill. Someone gonna wind up In a landfill. Deals were broken. Lies were spoken. Wish I was smokin’ A wee bitta calm me down… People crying. Promises dying. No! Not trying! This new thing. With a dead ring. Don’t you bring It to me. I won’t! I don’t! Eat that. Do […]

They put a choke hold on his whine pipe. Took his sharing to the enth degree. Stretched his Savoir faire. Like they didn’t care. He was broken, it was sad to see. Then he rose up, off all fours. A maneuver that would open doors. He would live, thankfully. He would let the beggars see. […]

If his strength came from God, so be it. When the room filled with crap, He didn’t say shit. He didn’t punch the air. Didn’t kick or swear. He just stood there And took it…

He wanted me dead. I wanted to die. Split my eardrums. Why God? Why? Scratched my soul. Ripped at my heart. Crushing my will. Just for a start… Lucifer becons. Lookit those eyes! Think he’s done? Got a surprise… For you gramps.

He could see the sun In the middle of the night. He could glide through fear On a single strand of fright. He could keep his pie hole shut. Kept his cool thru if, ands and buts. As humans screamed into his face. Calmness iced with grace. Squinting at this place Brimming now with anger. […]
