Crisp Fallen Aspen Leaves - by Bodo Frog
Incessant, babble of the woman caregiver, care taker shakes me
in my boots.
When I was younger trying to revive the muse that has continually
charmed me with her fairy dust.
Then leaves me to dry bitter fall orange and auburn yellow aspen
leaves in the yard.
He won't get hurt if he goes to church on a Buddhist Sunday, I
wish I could write for the paper.
I have so much potential unspent. Gunpowder stored in a chamber.
Covered by 7/8 quarter inch steel, riveted to alternating box of
teakwood.
A revolving turret, a magic show anticipatingly awaited.
A bayonet stuck through my grandpa's arm on midway by a Jap.
The yellow fever raises, keeps on rising, my bones ache for calcium
intake.
A black and white spotted flying cow , I bought at the cog railway,
souvenir shop.
Hours altitude later, the marmats scamper on a green field of mountainous
coverage, zipping down the hill, zig zag eight miles an hour.
The rail grinds up to the top of Pikes Peak like a Swedish clock
in slow motion.
Nazi hoards, the underwater wolf pack terrorizes my Atlantic, sinking,
ten million tons of goods sent to our island.
Blank bits of a coloring book cut out and taped to the TV cabinet,
as yet unfinished for a developing mind yet to color first.
"When we endeavor to fill a terrible void sometimes the void
consumes us"
Cheap TV, wisdom trying to fill the chasm.
My mind is like a frostbitten frozen expanse of Antarctica. Expansion
due to molecules separating , straining their hold on each other,
become wider than the original crystal, form and lock blue like
a safe.
Like metal in the microwave, no son, you can't make hot chocolate
by putting the bag in the microwave. The hot chocolate made fire
in the microwave , like a cd burn it foiled, cracked and fractured.
There is no more salt or flaxseed oil left for the lubrication
of my minds
inebriation.
Big red and white fluffy flowers plucked and placed in water floating
like hot candles in an antique bowl, and she never mentioned that
she liked the arrangement.
A quarter diamond engagement ring returned to the jeweler for twice
for what it was worth, for it was a simple act with a simple girl
that was my lover, loving against my soon to be wife, we returned
the ring together, cards fall down from the card house fallen, and
spread yet usable.
"What's your status soldier, are you still in the clusterfuck
or is the water flowing plenty for you to ride on out of there."
"Adult Swim" as a cartoon drama unfolds for my pathetic
distraction.
We play the Playstation as we play on the battlefield electronically
bombing
strategic sites of Islam, trying to crush the Koran.
Sucker punched at a party.
