August Poem 31

August 31, 2016August 29, 2016 ~ The.Richard.Braxton ~ Leave a comment

Tommy wandered his way over

To the fig tree before

Pliny began to speak.

 

I crouched next to Tommy

In the fig cave my body canvas.

I did not want to leave the protective

Grip of careful coordination.

August Poem 30

August 30, 2016August 29, 2016 ~ The.Richard.Braxton ~ Leave a comment

The night pushed me down;

I had to struggle for classical

Technique and realistic representation.

I’m not sure I looked straight

At the brick wall. It took so long

For my eyes to focus:

That was 464 BCE,

Now.

August Poem 29

August 29, 2016August 27, 2016 ~ The.Richard.Braxton ~ Leave a comment

The tree must have quest

To find out that going down through my feet,

A curtain open in the wings.

 

Rather, I opened the curtains stage

Left and the stage hands over

Here canvased the trees.

August Poem 28

August 28, 2016August 27, 2016 ~ The.Richard.Braxton ~ Leave a comment

And they were.

And they were making a killing.

August Poem 27

August 27, 2016August 24, 2016 ~ The.Richard.Braxton ~ Leave a comment

A tiny ring,

Smoke escaped his mouth.

He sat down on that rock

Next of smoke.

 

He held his breath and pulled another

Bag out of the back pocket of his toga.

 

He coughed;

A huge cloud of smoke lit morning.

August Poem 26

They said as long as he started strides

Towards his honorary diploma

At one of their campuses, I was eligible

To apply for the ability to work in 13

Unfamiliar schools during their class reunion,

Or I could take on a boarder as part of my research.

August Poem 25

Are you live and in most areas?

Autohop through commercials that

Feature the first puppy of your our showroom.

Melvin was sure the weed

Hadn’t needed a cut before

He could mousse a deeper hit.

But he snapped it a couple times

To knock off any old hairs.

August Poem 23

Stan you look like an

“All-entrants-will-be-judged-

For-originality” stipulation

Small print of a back pages add

From an old Mad Magazine.

 

Stan was dwelling the thirty feet

Between here and the known world.

August Poem 22

Xerxes’ son mentioned

To one department member

That he didn’t think anything existed

Beyond the brick of coins

For nachos topped with extra cheese.
