"Runner-up in the Open Community Poetry Contest for the period October-December, 2010"-ed.

 

 

From the nipple to the cigarette

From the bottle to the beer

From the garbled bubbles of infant communication-

To the loud vulgar words that spew today.

I am what I am.

I will not write you a love poem.

It is a tedious process

and not worth the time.

My time would be better spent

describing the beauty of rose petals

or recounting conversations over cigarettes.

I would rather walk through a park

feeling the snow crunch beneath my feet

watching children wage war

with weapons

Public swim session at the community pool

Azure liquid thinned by pee and drool

Beckons a dinky passerby

Choked by grot collar

And ‘can I help you’ tie

While yet married to a dish
the spoon ran off with the fork
to elope into a knife
cut-throat marriage-
going feeding porkishly
at Las Vegas buffets
and drinking glass
after glass martinis and wine-
gambling the night away.
