The earth was flat,
until your hand
made it white
moonlit
round,
because you
are a good man,
kind and selfless.
 
 
~susan
 
 
 
 


From his chair with two wheels
a glance he did steal
at the one who had caught his good eye,
he leaned over to speak
in a voice that did squeak,
and took this chance to cop a quick feel.

She reached for her cane
since she thought him insane
then put it down as quickly as raised,
she leaned closer to him
and then on a whim
spoke with breathy cheer -
cop all the feels you care to
I’m impressed that you dare to
it’s the most sex I’ve had in 10 years.

toothless frank smiled bigger
and friendlier than anyone in the hall
his hand was warm as it reached out
to the huddled little girl in the big grey coat
she looked lost in that coat
with those steel toed workman's boots
 
but toothless frank's smile
brought her up out of that coat
and into the presence of other smiling beings
people who also called themselves drunks
but, they were all sober. and promised her.
she could be too.
 
toothless frank's smile.
 
 
~centime plus 
 

 

 

 
a smile
declaring her spirit
the soulest touch
of gentle
hands gracefully enfold
frailty;
'tis perfection

he used pinking shears.....
sharp as alligator's jaws
chomping sloppy
work. it was his final
editing remark. it meant
he couldn't read your
paragraph. it was the
final fate of bad reports.
it meant another draft.
 
it kept the rest
in line, erasers worn.
but i was drawn to the
drama of the jaws. the
humor of the paper
being chewed. i had
the best penmanship
in the class, but every
now and then i'd write
something worthy of
his swamp. for years
i wondered why, but
now i see..... it was
in admiration of his
creativity.
 
he could have used
the red pen. like the
rest, those bloodletting
grammar czars of
whowhatwhereand
when...instead he
chose to devour,
and most did not
understand, but i saw
it as a mercy killing.
