jux tapose

you were a cross between
gandhi and jack lalane
who just passed awn
zsa zsa wating to go
or that farah and michael
who checked out on my birthday

being purposefully obtuse
well not obtuse but vague
making idiotic cross celebrity
references just to appear
wicked smart....

who uses ellipses in poems
as much as i do for you baby
or sumptin' like that

jux tapose i were to act like a popeye
to your olive oyl and al sharpton to
your jackie O....
just expose

Proud of Myself

i was thinking
a rare event itself
of writing a poem
expressing
the depth of passion
and innocent wonderment
the unbridled joy
dare i say ecstasy
of writing this thing
this little ditty
this minor poetic work
almost without using
any fucking curse words
