I had a ball
I stuck it on the wall
That's all

zerothehero 04-18-2015 06:22 PM

ummagumma and
meddle blew my freaking mind
but gong blew my nose

zerothehero 04-18-2015 06:23 PM

that's not to say that
gong blew quite the contrary
syd barrett would smile

Elseware 04-18-2015 08:44 PM

He would wouldn't he
Life is crazy, on we go
I think I'll smile, too

i get hangovers
from sugar like i poisoned
myself and i did

Gilmer 04-19-2015 12:31 AM

I pound sugar, too.
Driving onward to abuse.
Why can't I just stop?

(Thanks for the hug, Else. Hope you feel better, too).

Gilmer 04-19-2015 12:50 AM

Yesterday I was
Unabashedly needy
I feel like a fool.

Always craving warmth
It is my Achilles' Heel
Always just beyond.

Gilmer 04-19-2015 01:07 AM

Thank you, Dee. :)

the movie Fed Up
will make you never want to
eat sugar again

food corporations
like tobacco companies
want you addicted

they will argue that
sugar isn't bad until
the people rise up

junk food should be in
a back room hidden like porn
not at the check stand

and certainly not
on cafeteria trays
in our children's schools

schools are training grounds
for obesity sorrow
and short painful lives

statistics suggest
we most certainly need a
so-called nanny state

like we do for meds
booze tobacco weed smack meth...
sugar is a drug

as addictive as
cocaine and anything else
out there and it kills

Elseware 04-19-2015 12:31 PM

I agree with you
We will include rotted teeth
"You are what you eat"

zerothehero 04-19-2015 12:33 PM

i am what i eat
which means right now i'm a fruit
soon to be elk stew

Elseware 04-19-2015 12:38 PM

My teeth are perfect
My weight is normal. Good bones
I am just lucky

I've eaten my share
Crave it steadily at times
Be the death of me,

Yet. Triglycerides
Run too high, sorry to say
What about my heart?

Elseware 04-19-2015 12:42 PM

PS I am toast
Tomales, chicken and rice
Salad, nuts and pie

Elseware 04-20-2015 04:02 PM

Life feels good today
I worked hard out in the yard
Now I sit down. Plop!

zerothehero 04-22-2015 04:50 PM

five years old standing
next to mom's dead body a
needle in her arm

private funerals
are for families whose shame
is stronger than love

i've walked a tightrope
over a sea of glass shards
but i didn't fall

i was just lucky
mom says i live a charmed life
no more complaining

my anger hugs me
like an old friend who forgot
i'm a deceiver

there is still music
in my heart and in the air
i can almost dance

Solarion 04-22-2015 05:01 PM

"nanny state" is here
addictions for all seasons
quite profitable

Elseware 04-23-2015 09:15 AM

I'm wordless, my friend
My heart knows wherefore you come
My sister. Cold. Dead

Her boy found her there
His own mother. Unmoving
Day before Christmas

OD'd on Oxy
Handful down. Forgot to breathe
No lesson was learned

I loved her dearly
She who was funny and smart
Gone now and for what

I got very drunk
I screamed, tore open my skin
In bed for a week

Laid her near Mama
Sang a song to send her on
And let the tears come
