Two Uncomfortable Poems
-An Empty Revolver-
mine was a horror writers role
to make a plot
one with a vicious villain
a seemingly helpless victim
one that reached out
to all those crisis resources
only to be turned away
for lack of community funds
friends that under played their role
a few nights on their couch
to let her abusive villain cool off
or rehearse his come-back lines
how truly amazed he was when
she came back with a smile
or was it a smirk?
she eased into her routine role
apologetic for her lack of respect
surly he was right all along
she held her suffered pose
long enough to empty her revolver
nothing fatal at first
one to the villains gut
one to each knee
(that’s three determined shots)
then one for each "PLEASE?"
number six..Finale
-Silly Putty Girl vs Master Baiter-
Round 1
" Hello,nice to
meet you ."
"Uh hi…have
we met…?"
"Nice shoes!"
"Why thanks
I just bought
them…"
(Whoa!)
Flag on the play
he was there
when she got
them at the mall!
Round 1 to him…
Round 2
"Hello …you look
familiar."
"Really?Have I
met you before
somewhere?"
"You went to
Duncan Myer
High.Right?"
"Yea! I did
did you …?"
"Yea …Go Duncan
High Rangers!"
( Whoa! What a hook!)
Flag on the play
she has a class
bumper sticker
on her car.
Round 2 to him.
Round 3
"Hello we haven’t
meet yet."
"I’m sorry how
sould I know you?"
"I’m a friend
of Inez."
"Oh I know her
too…"
(Whoa!That was
a smooth line!)
Flag on the play
she picks her friend
up from work every
other day and
she wears a
name tag at work
Round 3 to him
she is putty in his hands

human and its nature..
variables....i like in these writes
that its clear cut and viable
staple understanding
personas and characters
our world still strives to believe
in old value systems
and behaviour codes to morals
and expectations..
and then
the real is complex and
twisting outcomes
subtextual meaning
and vague controversies
where I like...
beneath the mists
I like the style of your writing
very direct
the metromone methodology
(dslextic)
still this is sharp
and on track
..
Thank You
