Raisinettes
8-25-12

Raisinettes for breakfast doth suffice
In its contents of calcium in small quantities
Sufficient to step out of my hot bath
And get back to my poetic basics productive and efficient
Where the breakfast of champions in me is my smoke and coffee
Wherein I can know of my own heaven
Yet reminded to beware of such leaven
As the sun peaks out of a cloud that passes overhead...



Passed The Test
8-25-12

Putting a difference between knowledge and wisdom
In that such is my request today
All day in rhyme and verse
To be as a blessing in the disguise of such a curse
Knowing the contrast between seeing the facts
And this sagacity gained through hands on experience
With these situations serving as simulations and tests
To pass with flying colors
Looking back on how I looked forward
To those nights of excess
Renounced to cross the bridges
Into all that is Now....




My Dime
8-25-12

My hairbands were a dime a dozen
Yet such is the face value of the price of a bowl of Raman noodles
Sufficient for the purpose in starch and protein
With my saline and briny dosage of substance I intend to honor
My one Lord with today
When the hour of one rolls around again
All day with nothing in my hand save this pen
Observing riffs of a dime a dozen
Clichés condoned in that even these are real in that they are....





O, Is It?
8-25-12

O, is there really a joy
When one is converted
Turning from his ways of the brow of brass perverted
Or should he remain as he is and be filthy still
So that he might be washed clean once again
In this poet's devotion today in my tablet and pen
O, is it really a miracle when one makes a change
Or should he remain unjust still
And simply be just who he is in his own sight
O, is such a thing right in his own sight...
