The Diversity of Mr. J
Drugs
Took me so long to understand.
Using that crap, tools of
destruction. Made me unable.
Using inanimate objects
clouded my intellect and logic.
Forced me places. Made me do
things! Stopped me from loving
and sharing with others.
It catapulted me to the
realm of the dammed! Unable to
be what I could be. Caring,
giving, compassionate, free!
Fortunately, now I see! My body
clean and unadulterated. The way
I was created. Presenting my body
to God, as me. Clear of mind,
conscious of self. Free to be,
with no unneeded help,
from outside myself!

Farmers
The houses surrounded by
quaint irrigated fields. The
fields provide.
Up at dawn, sleep by dusk.
This life, they live for us!
Quiet meals, lots of conversation.
Doing what is needed to fill
the stores, insuring we buy more.
Thus, the backbone of this
great Nation! The kids, early
to bed, early to rise, at every
house in this quaint countryside!
Till the soil, seed the ground.
Producing food year round.
Life as such, handed down.
Such a life, we don't understand.
Help us appreciate the Land!

Indebted
For Shirley
It was you who taught me.
About life, about love.
You stuck by me.
Until, no more could you take.
Until, your heart breaks.
You had to escape, mental rape!
Our love real, our smiles,
our joy.
Even after all the pain.
We will always be!
Even though it couldn't last.
I was too fast, too slow.
Couldn't see you were for me.
You had to set me free.
If not, I would not be!
You are my past, my pain,
my unwilling Savior!
Our love was not in Vain!
From You and I sprang,
GENERATIONS.

Husbands Awakening
While talking, things got clearer.
To keep my friend, I need to make
amends, be more emotionally
available, matrimonially stable,
more in touch with us. I will read
Ms. O's fabulous magazine,
listen to Dr.Phil, have date night,
not verbally fight. Cause don't
want to be unfamiliar in bed.
A part-time husband that is what she
said! Lord knows I don't need that
insecurity swimming in my head.
So, got to work, can't watch so much
T.V. in bed. Got to get those action
movies out my head, learn the things
to never say, can keep the peace that
way. Keep our sex drive alive. Without
good loving we won't survive. I will
tell her she is glamorous more often,
thus keeping our love out of a coffin.

Just Because
Kiss a baby,
Buy a new dress or some shoes.
Go on vacation, get married.
Make love, bake a cake, sing a
song.
Dance in the rain, run, jump,
skip.
Read a book, write a book!
Tell your children you love them.
Show your parents your love.
Do a random act of kindness!
Learn to fly, go fishing.
Watch a movie, listen to music,
eat ice cream. Watch a sunset.
Get a massage, color your hair,
buy a new car, sit under the
stars,
wish upon a star!
Live, laugh, love!
And when queried, Why do you
do the things you do?
Simply reply, Just Because!

Jennifer
That name, that face!
I will never forget you!
The smiles, the tears,
the way you made me feel.
Your walk, your talk, the
carefree way you brushed
the hair from your eyes.
That time in Liverpool, the
nights we danced. The
shopping at market
in Banbury. The rides in
the Mini, across English
winding roads. The
afternoons of Tea and
Crumpets. The kisses! The joy
and yes, the final Departure!
I will never forget you!
You are in fact embedded in my
mind!!!!!!!!!!!

Night, Night Baby, Night, Night!
For New Parents
Night, Night Baby, time to go
to sleep. You have had a long day.
Running around, in your walker.
Eating all those crackers. How do
you drink all that milk?
Crying, trying to learn how
to walk.
(And after Ms. Jones
was all up in your face,
you threw up, all on her!)
You fell down in the sand.
I think I heard. You say ""Da-Da""!
You have had a very long day,
I must say! So,
Night, Night, Baby! Night, Night.
You go sleep now. Cause, you
sure wore Daddy and Mommy out!
Pleaseeee!!
Go Night, Night, Baby! Night, Night!
You go Night, Night.

Mental
Sometimes my mind goes.
I think of far, far away places.
I disoblige against myself. What
I want to do, I do not do.
I am but a marionette in the palm
of my subconscious. Painting a picture
without control of the brush.
Statements are not foregone,
but spontaneous.
All that can bring me back to reality
is your voice. The sweet, melodic
sound, releases me from melancholia.
Back to life I spring! Ready to
do what must be done. Ready to
handle the coming tides of mid-week.
Fore, it is only Tuesday! I have
four more days to battle myself.

Uncle Nate's Ice Cream
For Martha
There never has and never will
be anything like Uncle Nate's
Ice Cream! We couldn't wait,
just to get a taste! A taste,
of that home-made cold (paste).
Real milk, churned and churned,
in the basement. Sitting in
ice, "Freezing and just a
a Teasing"! My sister and
I would fight over the first
scoop. That taste, that rich
creamy frozen delight, was
out of sight. Not the store
next door! Not Ben and Terry's.
No Black Walnut, or Cookie Dough!
None of the Nouveau Creams could
even be as Mean as Uncle Nate's
Home Made, Frozen, Real Milk,
Basement
Ice Cream! It would make you Scream!

Puffer Fish Land
At the local aquarium,
didn't expect much.
To my surprise, introduction
to Puffer Fish. I watched
child-like faces, seemingly
innocent. Childhood vaulted
back to me. Their big eyes,
like mine, seeking.
Watching them, in wait,
buried in the sand, reminded me
of hide and seek. They lurk,
they jump on easy prey.
Saw myself jumping, yelling Boo!
They beg for food, knowing the
keeper. I begged for cake and
Ice cream at night, before bed.
Territorial were they,
killing the weak. I recall the
bully at lunch time.
