Poetry: Echosightings Vol II, MINEFIELD CARTWHEELS

Between Sex
Drugs and
gettin' too old
The slander
is dropping by the 
planeload
Pockmarking the
Field of mind robbing
This Peace of 
mine
But only for a moment
I spin the anger they try to
Foment
into reckless abandon
Unwavering passion
Relentlessly
seeking to fashion a
greater reality
From this fertile
Field of mind
Even if only to 
Restrain me
from giving them a
Piece of mine

Poetry: RUTHLESS AVENUE

One can scarcely dodge
the Sun
on Ruthless Avenue
where the Park named
Peace
groans under myriad
Pieces of carelessly tossed
garbage
The church upstairs is emblazoned with
a giant beer ad
"Enjoy Well Cold!"
like revenge
but few follow
that recipe
Girls in shorts and
skirts wound tighter than
ghetto tempers
Saunter by in their
honey-dripping
cakewalk
Crossing gorges of
refuse
through which human rejects  - among them a
wannabe reggae legend - wade and stumble
in their coke walk
Whilst those feeding off the
ego's neediness
cruise by imperious in ersatz
limousines
