I have discovered that I can only write poetry when I am tormented, frustrated, fascinated or angered by topics. Poetry is a wonderful, therapeutic way to work through these emotions and come out the other side, no longer in statis, but with an ongoing art work.

I am
institutionalised.
A product of
my schooling.
There is limited life beyond these classroom walls,
for they are papered in the doctrine of mediocrity.
We know this
abysmal abyss of
assessment
is asinine,
Yet
We decline to address it

Address a letter to
the intended recipient.
Perhaps this one is relevant.
I prefer AS lol
Or
AS 5ol (asshole)
Numbered profanity
It is an offence
to define English
by numbers.
My fingers go numb
with the weight of paper
War time experiences A.S 109
Research criteria's
For crying out loud
it is ill defined
illusion
that the fusion of
assessment in English
is secondary to
paper fecundity
Perception
In my iiii's
The world is skinny and fat and fast and slow
When I was young it was fat, so fat that it threatened to flatten me, it was so wide that I could not see its end or end my footsteps, so I did not walk for a time
When I was young it was skinny, so skinny that it threatened to skin me, it was so narrow that I could not see its beginning or begin my footsteps, so I did not walk for a time
In my mid 20's I ran because the world turned so fast and I couldn't keep up and I tripped and in my early 30's I flew around the world not literally but on a metaphoric plane to the island of alchemy
Now the world is skinny and fat and fast and slow.
I can jog around its perimeter.
Although, I do teeter on the edge for a time.

So empty
souls
No grave
in solace
I tread
your steps
lightly.
My concentration
lightly comes
and dusts
your wounds
One band
aid
For
a
thousand
lives
