This reminds me of a William Carlos Williams poem I had to read in the 9th grade. The teacher was a plump, smug rookie: 

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

I could just see Tubby trotting those weasel words on a roommate after mooching his cereal. Over the years I'd think of responses like

Listen you asshole

Do that again and

the next plum's going up your backside

and my dog will take a dump in your Birkenstocks.

One day, while wandering on the winding road to metaphor, I spotted an anachronism
hiding amongst broken sheen and mounds of red dirt with dead bare trees
and I thought to myself that this could be it.
I stopped my red metal wagon with hard rubber tires 
and picked up to assemble the makeshift easel lying partially buried in the ditch.
Reaching into a bag of jewelry I produced a few gobs of color
and the axle grease from my trusty if rusty carriage and mixed the medium
until the mash was mixed and the memes were a ghost. 
I peered through the glare and prepared my dirty red canvas
and I felt a tug at the strings sewn into my hands and 
began to brush and smear and elbow my way into a house of signs
as I wondered which wonders to paint. 
That was a really long and ridiculous to describe day.

I just saw a beautiful bluebird, perched on the edge of the gutter,
her plumage the colors of the early evening twilight sky.
My Mother loved bluebirds and sunsets.
I'm sure I heard her sing, and sigh.

Testing testing mic 123
Therapy session 
What

I must confess, I was one of those "why?" kids
Always with the questions, "why?"
Drove my Mom to distraction
What?
Bryan with a "why?"
Why, Bryan?
You're asking me?
Why me?
i answer from experience
"because"
B cause "why?"
Bryan with a "why?"
"i" notwithstanding
That's what

bad Jokes are like bad poetry
the punch lines are often spiked

So sad little sinew
That I knew you when you
Fleshed your tone from dust
Breathe the breath you must
Bringing forth the force through rust
Iron and red the will well within you

A man in his space, working with dead trees
Bones of trees
He speaks in terms of oak and poplar, cherry and black walnut,
maple and pine
Woody artful expressions like graceful and elegant,
rich and forgiving, ease and relief ...grain
Worn of hands and brow, the carpenter sculpted the shapes and shards
of tree bones, lived long and darkened rings
Of those he most loved, and refined their lines with the
solemn fusions he carried in his heart...

It was the corner of E.Colfax and Humboldt
Southwest I remember
Cold Thanksgiving
Colder that December
Small room off the side
shared it with my dog, a pallet, and a slide
down on the parallel lines
Offset beveled and conical splines
Rounded men by bashing rocks
falling down the mountain...

I was an ant at a time
when time was unbent
I walked my way through
the maze fate had set
but failed to note
the roads without end
the things that could have been
were I made to think of them
but I wasn't 
so there I was 
at the end
of a life well spent,
or so I thought, 
at the time

Verse Two Plus B Part and Chorus

Just trying to keep it real ya'll
trying to relate
Keeping light prescribed 
not to pontificate
Staying in the long view and living on the plain
a black and white stand on a pallet blue pain
 
(Let me proclaim! Let me explain! Let me exclaim!)

Been a hip hop life yo
a hip hop life
Changes come with strife it's a hip hop life...

A new way to measure wealth in other than accrued on paper
or cyber systems of increasingly artificial intelligence
might be in the satisfaction of status postponed until
a guy 
or a girl or
the ghost of either
or even neither
runs the express check-out
12 items max only please
No checks. No chokes
No bad puns.
Holy smokes.
So much fun
So little time

Max
