bartender – oh bartender!
mine eyes espy the glory of the ending of another day work
with no clue what role my efforts play in within the large scheme
and (psst) just between you and me…that new supervisor a real jerk
assigning my exemplary skills and talents what appears as a losing team!
no way out of this death sentence nefarious trap
except to drown displeasure downing booze or even house brand beer
which drunken state the only way to prevent axons and synapses to snap
and quickly cause tenuous grasp on sanity to become rent asunder and tear!
now, not a moment to delay
for this conga line employer manned gravy train
departs the tracks seven minutes to five – hip hooray
whereby i can anesthetize this sorely overtaxed brain!
these remaining 420 seconds tick by like the pace of a snail
to this myopic eyes the clock seems to reverse itself in time
this must be some cruel cheap trick holding hostage this randy male
whose manly fuels excitement meeting babes reason i be like busta rhyme!
hop on the bandwagon the aim
to get out from this cramped cubicle and make a made dash
for fermented elixir cherished like some infatuation with a female flame
which magic to forget cares of an uncertain world wrought immediate in a flash!
now the cogs, gears and wheels that turn, whir and spin
within me mental discerned centrifuge come to a grinding halt
as the modern day whistles blows closing time in that barely audible din
which means the motley crew will be heading to a favorite watering hole for ale or malt!
ah, that cool amber liquid of the gods soothes the palate and the tongue
nothing (nada even bling) compares to dulling the senses under the sun
sipping high proof fermented beverage worth price of a headache to be stung
come the morrow (being closer to week-end) flirt with getting drunk equals fun!
upon drowning sorrows that cascade like some emotional waterfall
inside thine own rocky mountain psychic terrain gets numbed by liquor
until the next morning will find frame of mind obliterated akin to a major squall
finding me embarrassed at previous nights’ antics that found me to laugh and snicker!
SCREED AGAINST SACREMENT
Protean nucleic processes polemic yield
explosive diversification
punctuated diversification
Stephen Jay Gould
Paleontological hypothesis
spawning sudden flora and fauna
competed against diametrically
opposed diatribe
pairing diehard Religionists
versus Doubting Thomists
which Creationist advocates
threatened non-believers
with damnation and eternal punishment
Brethren of God thru tongue did wield.
Pompous empiricists
fire and brimstone sermons
excruciating punishment of soul
claimants who refute
intelligent design theorists
will meet scimitar and shield!
Shana Aubrey Harris
Jack (be septuagenarian nimble) Feinberg + Bobbie Ann Thornburgh our beloved daughter took zeal gravitated to ye like a biological father and mother within penn valley common weal
yet upon returning home (three or so doors down), she bursts into tears the hue of teal
thus I (the de facto dada, mister momma, papa, et cetera) felt compelled words to write
in my trademark poetic trademark (johnnie come lately) style flush with sentiments trite
profound, yet all spring from thine heart for affectionate older persons energetic quite
whose unconditional love for this punim, who lacks the natural maternal bond from abby
who (pray tell -keep this hush) often exhibits psychological angst and acts rather crabby
but dons as her decked apparel an air of rare friendliness vis a vis via being rather gabby
giving the impression of a bona fide kind, mortal, openly receptive harris wife
boot when shuttered up in confines of this place she called a “prison” awash with strife
with venomous tongue that lashes at me, her family of origin and an insufferable life
greatly impacts on two darling progeny of thy loins who mean more than money can buy
whereby the prospect for any daughter/mother loving bond did long ago on the vine die
imposing on this average, decent fellow (although secular in belief) wishes to up and fly
far from daily despair evident to those who live under grievous downcast depressive state
with figurative forks of mick jagged anger in which seems to occur at more frequent rate
finding my fantasies wishing to be holed up with another to identify as a suitable mate
and dislike resigning remaining to many years with what might be a most unpleasant fate
whence the unpredictable invisible hand of “adam” or “eve” brought a neighbor to ease
this agonizing ongoing marital crevasse (growing inexorably wider) for thee to app peas
unmet emotional needs/ wants of one lovely lass as ye can attest as both play and tease
whose humble affinity for thee tender kisses and thy pugs + one cat, she seems to crave
since NO affection shown by spouse, who loathes mutter in law sylvia zison – how grave
and projections that this husband this marriage, he doth newt wish to save
yet remains steadfast here on account o me precious progeny until their departure
then a pleasant adieu, chow, fair thee well with his minimal belongings he will wave
which forecast PLEASE KEEP under wraps – thou the legally wedded counterpart
would not be the least bit surprised at such an outcome where ice cold feelings
betwixt us oft times, she utters only expletive filled remarks & hatred from hear heart!
