Spaces To Fill.
Spaces to fill
in the time I
have left to kill
in the span of my life
the bottoms of wine glasses
that taunt me
the blank pages that are
destined to be poems
that intimate clasp
of love expressed and often
the dumpster which could hold
all the accumulated crap
that is taking up space here
a helmet on the next flight to Mars
underwear that is sleek
enough to enhance all assets
and cause long lashed eyes t
o turn for another glance
bank accounts that are
a few scents above a skunk
file cabinets with lit matches
at the IRS buildings
shoes that feel like
warm mud and never hurt
a hand that wants long
walks and shared thoughts
in the silence of four
footsteps crunching sand
on a sunlit beach
a birdcage with a
singing parrot to harmonize
with my morning shower songs.....
the bellies of all of
the world's hungry children
filled with food that sustains them
till they can sustain themselves
a condom at least three times a week
and condomless at least three more.....
a blank check to a charity
that really helps people
an election ballot that doesn't
have a dick or a bush on it
a grave that isn't permanent
a belly sated with the
finest gourmet delights
a yard with flowers
of many outrageous colors
a jaguar with my very happy butt
sticking to the leather seats
the front lines of war zones
with child molesters and rapists
all wearing dubya masks
and holding unloaded weapons
a list of friends that
exceeds three pages
counterfeit money in
election campaign funds
execution dates on my calender
for bin laden's painful exit
a long talk with God at
his earliest convenience
Spaces to fill
in the time I have left to kill
before my span of life
is full and one last hole remains
please add your spaces to fill
in the comments box below
which is currently empty
and know the satisfaction
of fullfillment employed.
