Dear Maxwell
Your juicy buns Turn my heart into butter, Oh Joyful Child. You make me want your sons, My heart is now aflutter, If only you were single. My mind has all gone wild, Look at those jiggling guns! The camera closes its shutter. My mind thou hast beguiled, My tongue begins to sputter, If you should love. I am now rolling in the gutter, For you have released the dove. With all the lust in the world, Dwight. copyright 2007 jonathan brandt ~ Add to Memories ~ Tell a Friend ~ Reply freshbaked daily

He would run a-pitter patter All across the lawn, And all would swear he never got fatter Until they saw him yawn. Alas! that he left his room And moved across the state, He must have a very large womb, For he hath birthed a plate! He went off to learn to swim When he was one or two, He drowned a friend on a whim And stuck him in the flue! Alas! that he could not be found When the po-po came to arrest him, He had stolen a dog from the pound And lived with it on a limb. When he turns thirty, he'll be a hobo Living on crabs and rice, He'll serenade tourists on his dobro: He'll only have washed his hair twice! walk down the deserted sixlane street lights polkadotting the asphalt steaming look up into the sky there am just dropped onto youreyelashes through rows of cars holding their breath look into windows and see peter&sylvie pouring over coffee andonthego breakfast the kid in the backseat staring out the window follow gaze see the baby in the caracross the line crying a man in a blue baseball cap releasing ashes from the end of cigar finally to let go and watch be run over by threehundredeighteentires before dis-integrating in the rain ~ jon © 2006 jonathan brandt ar^ts=c.(re@[m]sp sy$c-hed\el,icrh y*th:m> running in circles spinning a rush of dizziness in my mind a cognitive labarynth a library chat round books with round shelves a chain of rings floating down going through the lamps tables carpets getting lost in the solid grey below reach out and caress the sun its discharges lapping fingers vibration of soundlessness push that button and make the spring move the stars i ate you for breakfast and you tasted liked macadamia nut cookies with chocolate frosting i woke up and smelled you and you smelled like burnt cinnamon roll but i rub you over a grater to get the charred spots off and i feel a great sense of accomplishment i dreamt about you and i saw a banana seat bicycle rusted in spots but overall good i heard you on the radio and it made me cry i felt you in the washer a hand gripping mine a sense of security in a place unlooked for i met gretchen ross she told me to follow your heart but i don't know how to listen to my heart last night i had a dream i was on a spaceship soaring through the waste of space a voice came throught the loudspeaker heaven in five four three two one and i awoke i look at you from across the sidewalk and smell the air refreshed see your hair streaming down your face watch you blink as the raindrops hit your cheeks and slide down the side of your lips dropping off your chin to be broken into a million little pieces by the jagged bumps of the cement and realise that i love you that you alone can complete this circle that i would rather spend one lifetime with you than face all of eternity empty ~ jon © 2006 jonathan brandt nay, friend,
methinks this wicked peasant doth measure a mischance oft vile. not bad. yay magnetic poetry!... ~ jon © 2006 jonathan brandt yes, i know this doesn't even come close to slam poetry. or poems from slams. it sucks, but it gets^slightly better at the end.
here goes... the smoke rises in waves and curls. it licks the dust on its way by, coating the particles in pecan-flavoured soot. it gets caught in the updraft of the nearby flame, sailing into the air, its stransparent rivulets slowly decaying to join the weightlessnesses that are found so often in the air. the flame waves and twinkles into a thousand shaftes of gold and then goes out. not too bad, eh? ~ jon © 2006 jonathan brandt |
