Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition. ~Eli Khamarov, The Shadow Zone  Ode To an object

Memory Poem

 Marching off the field that day  Pride held strong and true

 Hands held high  Fist in the sky  Screaming the good news

 Alas we beat the champs of the past  the victory came oh so fast  like a the ball was in love  with my base ball glove  making the catch to steal it all

 We reeked of triumph  After the defeat of Goliath  A fierce opponent he was

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We were kings of the day <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> And we shall forever stay <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Champs of two thousand and two

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ode

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is my simple ode <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To my humble abode

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a two story row home <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">with brown cobble stone <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">as i walk to the black and white door <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">i begin to soar

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and walk into this place i reside <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a place in which i can confide <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">my deepest thoughts and feeling <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">while i stair at the black cellings

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I plop into my chair <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">as it hugs me with care <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and i stared at the wall <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and as i recall the paint on the wall <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is a pale light green

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And all this means <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is that i love my home

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fin

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Riff

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A total frickin' rock star from Mars.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">People can't figure me out, they can't process me.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't expect them to.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can't process me with a normal brain.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is it that I’m insane, or every one else is?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can’t control me I'm like a squirrel

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If anyone else had my brain, they’d spontaneously implode

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don’t ride bikes with handlebars because then I know where I’m going and that’s not fun

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If I ruled the world I would let everyone have the right to bear arm

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The would just have to kill the bear first

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don’t trust people, they always lie

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hate when people say I’ll call you late, I wanna say no you wont liar

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’ll end your life

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then eat your hands off your arms

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Or better yet your arms off your hands

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I rule the world I’m going to make Fidel look like a chump

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m so awesome the sun gets jealous

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’d light the world on fire just to watch it burn

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m ending this poem, like I would end you life

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Quick, without reason, and making no sense

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HA FIN
