Rg
Little Richard

Piano
Hit jangles
Time curves â€¦â€¦â€¦

From the early early morning
To the early early night
When I caught miss molly
Rocking
At the house
Of blue light
Good golly miss molly
Sure like to ball

extortion stems from hunger
distortion stems from a lack of confidence

ms tortion
i did her one heated night
last winter

did you remember to save
a little daylight
too late now

my memory seems to have a void

Ms Tortion

thank you for that dance
my plasma rushes

through my pumpkins
looking for a place of release

was that a rumba?

whatever your drinking

smoking

could you be so kind

to share?

what is your totem? Teach me the fine art of patience.
I know you are
charmed by my bloodlines

but lonely is not the same as crazy.

Miss Anthrope

I liked our tattoo negotiation.
I liked our soaked agreement.

When will you learn French for me?

I was wrong about everything.

fling a maple banjo in the backseat
feet tapping fingers snapping

girl with the hitchhiker heart
careens toward Big Daddy

pink bandanas + spine-broken yellow umbrellas

the truckers at the PIT STOP
spin beef no-necked head-tops

racing racing disgracing traces chases

He's sitting on his erotic rock
conjuring uncorked red wine and
studded dog collars

road trip Â neal cassady jack kerouac

ah, the beautiful, beautiful shared bride

Carolyn

two railroaded men in the bedroom

passengers a brunette with a night song
lip-synching to Tina Turner

visions memories omens
conspire and convene

in a non-dream in a fever-stream

a slipstream not far from Avalon

bluegrass lips chase each top note

be my man in Kentucky

bribes of Canadian whiskey

and doesn't she give good

alibi
which is not the same
not the same
not the same as a lie.

I did not know about this. Thank you for the post.
I really didn't even know this type of poetry existed.
Would be nice wouldn't it? Not to have any barriers or conditions to it, just write.
