Baloney Hi Coos and Faux Cues Number 164 Ma Momtra

Category: Life

The kids scream momma all day long…

We could be having a good time

Without the mama present.

Still…

They begin their meditation momtra

“Momma, momma, momma”

And Dada ego says,

“You got lunch,

There’s no poop in your pants

We’re having a good time

Can you please stop calling mama”

The kids think this is the funniest thing

Dada asking the kids to stop asking

“Mama mama mama mama mama”

“Dada, you’re the silly man

Whose job it is to throw us around,”

The three year old girl says to me

The boy who will turn two

But does not speak

Nods his head in agreement

Then she said,

“Do you really want mama’s job”

I began banging on the pots

We all chanted for mama

Baloney Hi Coos and Faux Cues Number 163

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

I would rather be simple

And tell simple truths

Oh, that’s a lie…

I love my complications

My confusion amuses me

It keeps me guessing…

I exist somewhere between…

A simplicity and a convolution…

I have a big smile on my face

What’s better than that?

Two fish in seperate bowl

One hungers for love of the other

The other hungers to eat love…

They will die, desiring each other

And they will be happier

Then if they ever actually met

Baloney Hi-Coo’s And Faux Cues Number 163 – The Snowball Effect

Category: Life

I made the snowballs for the kids

They took the snowballs

And threw it at me!

Then they wanted me to fix

The snowballs that broke

When they threw it at me!

“I am not fixing

The snowballs you throw

At my ass

You have to fix your snowballs

And I will make my own

And we will have a fight”

After they stopped crying

They made their own snowballs

Then, we had a snowball fight

After they stopped crying

They made snowballs

And looked for other kids

To have snowball fights with

I sat on the sidelines drinking cocoa

Baloney Hi Coos and Faux Cues Number 161

Category: Food and Restaurants

My freezer is loaded with mistakes

Every now and then I cook bad

I eat a plate of the bad

Then I freeze the leftovers

I never mark the container

It looks like all the others

I just eat it again

When the bullet strikes…

It’s my version of Russian Roulette

Baloney Hi Coos and Faux Cues Number 160

Category: Friends

I like my sketchy “bad people” friends

They laugh at my dark stories

Both the real ones and imagined

I can say anything to them…

But I don’t…

Not because they are square

And would freak out by my humor

Like most of society

But…

Because they can misunderstand

And possibly could kill someone

Because of something funny I said

And then where will I be?

Instead of a dark imaginative writer

I will become a mere journalist

No… no…

I am happy with my day to day

My fantastical happy dark world

Can I help it if…

My biggest most accepting fans

Happen to be people living nightmares

They angrily say to me sometimes

“You gotta get out there more

And become a part of the misery”

I laugh it off, raise my glass

And say.”Salute”

We clink glass, drink and toss

Baloney Hi Coos and Faux Cues Number 159

-Santa’s Street Credibility

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

If Santa were in the bible

Would that have given him

Even more street credibility?

Kids would have proof he’s real

Santa would have validation

To believe in himself

He would be the bible “good guy”

And if he were in the Old Testament

He’d get the Jewish vote too

Not sure what I was after

Maybe that the bible is…

Up for review

Maybe it needs another edit…

Chris Rock “old school” oral tradition

Or just some weed smoking bowsers

Something, someone light like Santa
