Blog Poetry Revisited


Letter to Becky G

(Partially by Trillion.b715_)

   I need the gym for music. I need recovery. I want to open a new gym, call it: Trillion the G-MAN's Workout Shop, Built-in Pool. For Money. I want to become a positive celebrity. Enjoy the pool and land weights, then back to the pool. I really want to own. Work out. Get my right leg back and a hip.
   You're a good luck woman, someone to fall in love with for real. We'll love in the same bedroom together, just like the beautiful islands, beautiful sandy environments, waves, rolling under your feet, fresh ocean water. Get my abs back. Get my push ups. Get a body champ. I want a mom who knows the weights.
  I take an excavator bucket made out of iron and teeth. I gig through, put in a new pool. Mom and family land. I dig it myself. Make our own food. We eat five meals of fish. Raise children into respectful adults. Be their own. We meet up. COntinue enjoying the new music. Get a job, to go along with the gym. Get a new Mercedez with dub spinners. Have a pool for it.
   Have a list of stretches. Learn about energy drinks. Get better. Leave those crutches alone. Get my mobility back. Mix with martial arts. Get back in shape for the new rap music put out there. Buy a Polaris Slingshot. Compare auto-cycles. Leave my driveable RV. 
   Did you hear about my plan? Miami. Italy. Nieman Marcus. New Espo hat, new designs, new bow-tie. New Gucci. Whole collections of hightop buckle. Low top too. Duffel bags of leather. I made it for my gym and my job, but also for you. Write back to me. Make me a happy man who is athletic. My malpractice lawsuit check will come, and we can make a trip. In the water, you'll see I'm a man who deserves a pool.


Ball Lightning 

(Partially by DANAE 123)

I HAVE SEEN BALL LIGHTNING
MY MOTHER WAS THERE
ON THE PHONE
AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG
(THERE WAS A SMALL STORM)
AT THE TIME I WAS SMALL
I WAS PRETENDING SOME
OF MY ROCKS WERE ARMY GUYS
WHO HAD DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS
THREE DAYS HAD PASSED
SINCE THEY LEFT THE CHECKPOINT
ONE GUY EVEN HAD A KNIFE
IN HIS HEAD HE KEPT FIGHTING
HE WAS ACTUALLY BETTER
AT FIGHTING NOW BECAUSE
HE WAS PART WEAPON
THERE WAS A LOUD HISS
ON THE PHONE MY MOTHER WAS
HOLDING IN THE OTHER ROOM
AND MY MOTHER YELPED
AND PULLED IT AWAY REAL FAST
IT APPEARED TO EMERGE
FROM THE SPEAKER END
AS A FUZZY ORANGE MOVER
I'D CALL A SPARKLER KIND
OF BALL-SHAPED FLASH
THAT ROLLED AND BOUNCED
TO THE WALL AND LEFT A SCORCH
MARK SMALL LIKE THE STORM
MY MOTHER'S EAR WAS SLIGHTLY
BURNED ON THE TOP
AND THE SKIN SLOUGHED OFF
I REMEMBER SHE WAS ILL
SOME AFTER NOT TOO SERIOUS,
BUT I THINK SHE VOMITED
IT WAS VERY QUICK
A FEW SECONDS OR SO
AND IT WAS GONE I WONDER
IF THAT'S WHAT MADE HER
DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE WERE ALONE
FOR A WHILE PEOPLE
CHANGE THEY GET FILLED
UP WITH A DISASTER LIKE THAT
A LADY FARMER HAD TO
FLEE THE PRESS SHE GOT
HIT BY A SMALL METEOR
MY MOTHER WAS MORE LONELY
THE SMALL SCORCH WOULDN'T
CLEAN OFF WHEN I WALKED
BY I'D PRESS MY TONGUE UP TO
THE SPIRAL ON MY MOUTH'S ROOF
AND REMEMBER BUT WE NEVER SAW
BALL LIGHTNING AGAIN
