January 2015 Collage Poem: Novelty
Intact, these children dance and sing
Forward and back.
Forget hatred; make love,
but don't whore
Don't tell me the truth
Or look at the meanings
In between words
Summer is a salad of water
Blue eyes
People of all kinds
too many to remember -
Who cares?
I see new words in new directions
All new faces and self-reflections
A pill to pull back on modesty
Suck that crap in my vac
and you got kicked out of my pad
Rainbow dipped into an azure sea
It's gritty in the city
And was I part of a protest
or a carnival?

The Secret Line
Each individual poem is read out
Personal thoughts of expression are absorbed
The secret line a task given
Till itself becomes a written avenue
Close study reveals what memories linger.
