Stoopid Movie

The poem in its entirety is shown below, which unfortunately had to be abbreviated to fit the audio-visuals presented here.

Let’s watch a stoopid movie

……please ?

For the wait has been long

With kids and without song

That it wouldn’t hurt to see

Another Adam Sandler to take us out of our misery

It has to be

The stoopidest movie …ever

As stoopid as you and me

With eyes staring , yet not seeing

Within arm’s length yet not reaching

With words for pain to feel

Yet none to heal.

We cross paths

In the skimpy moat of a tiny room

Yet pass each other

Like distant foghorns

In this vacuum sea

I know you not …anymore

Maybe I can find you in the ridiculous laughter

Of “Dumb and Dumber” ..or whatever

And never mind the popcorn or your being polite

The icy silence hangs like a stalactite

Dragged by a string to a kite

That begs to be set free.

Maybe the time will come to confess

After all the laundry and the mess

That it’s your face by the front door I would rather see

Instead of this cell phone glaring at me.

But for now,

Let’s watch a stoopid movie

….Please ?

Heart Magnets

Heart Magnets
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

Heart Magnets have the characteristic of
repelling and attraction... flipping electric
frequency pulsing in the awareness.

They whirl and they dance... even in yearning, in
discerning, hugging and pushing...

Weighted in the gravity of clouded perception
thick with emotional ambition.

Time is the devil undefeated... his tick tock cock screws
everything.

Destiny is achieved one breath at a time,
sometimes with a sigh as the heart magnets
embrace but most often with the panting of desire
as the repelling characteristic carries providence surround you...

Just...just... just... out of reach.

Maddening isn't it!

OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP

I've not been one to tell you how to drive. It's your car, your gas. I'm here for the ride. Right now, it's up to you when we arrive. But this is what I'm seeing from my side. When fearing that we're moving way too fast, you panic, citing doubts and finding fault, as somehow, something here reflects the past which brings our journey to a grinding halt. I don't expect you'll trust me with the wheel. Not asking! You can navigate this maze. And though I cannot change the way you feel, I'm here for you. You have my faith and praise. Believe me, objects in the rear-view mirror are much more wonderful than they appear.

ON MY KINDNESS

When I consider how our income's spent as aimlessly we wander far and wide, or find receipts and bills you tried to hide from me, I wonder where our money went. Good reasons for each purchase you present if I object or whine or tease or chide. The swelling of our debt we've both denied. I'm sure we're doomed. Yet how can I prevent you buying things we simply do not need? It's my fault too, I know. I try my best to be supportive, yet our sorry state, I'm sure, grows worse each day with greater speed. In line I am as guilty as the rest. They also shop who only hold and wait.
