Life Is My Mud

"Life Is My Mud"
 

What Is This?

"The Women's Auxiliary Of The PTA?"

Cars Sit On Their Behinds All Day And Pass Gas.

Sing, Skip, N' Hop To The Stop And Shop.

Wearing A Wedding Ring On My Big Toe.

Only For Show.

Don't Let Anyone Know.

Always Forgetting.

Forgiving Is Forgetting.

Living Is For Giving.

Give For A Getting.

Live To Forget To Live.

A Head Line Is Soon A Dead Line.

A Rap Was Once A Tap To The School Of Hard Knocks.

A Human's Bark Is Bigger Than Its Bite.

I Write Like A Chinese Cookie, Singing Its Fortunes.

Metaphors Are As Big As Similes In The Poet's Mind.

What's In The Writer's Heart Is In The Mind.

El Mundo Es Loco En La Cabeza.

In Other Countries The TV Can Speak English.

Feliz Años.

Jonathan Billet

Dynamics

"Dynamics"


Very Few People Know The Dynamics Of Mechanics.

Many Things Can Be Broken.

Rules Are Bent Not Broken.

Forks, Knives, And Spoons Can Also Be Bent.

When Burned Plastic Bends Quite Easily.

Steel Can Be Bent By Superman.

Water Can't Be Bent.

Moses Proved It Can Be Parted.

Jesus Walked On Water.

Only God Can Walk Up In The Air And Under Water.

Without Appearing, Very Quietly, Unlike All The Messengers.

Words Are Bent And So Are Prayers.

God Is Not Bent Nor Broken.

Sound And Light Can Be Bent.

Like God's Heart Even Broke.

Things Happen In Life.

Sad And Terrible Things.

God Prays To Us To Let Good Things Happen.

Please Answer God's Prayers.

Thank You Good God's Children.



Love You - Jonathan Billet

I Pass

"I Pass."

My Brother Tells Me That Rules Were Meant To Be Broken.

I Thought They Were Meant To Be Bent.

Our Father Tells Us That Bent Rules Were Meant To Be Broken.

I Mean, What Did You Mean, Arnold Was Caught Chucking In Miria's Anus Port?

Don't Call Me A Mother Chucker!

What Was That Crack About The Dog Not Excusing Itself After Yawning?

Talk About Manners!

Waiting Outside A Locked Bathroom For Eternity.

Is Somebody In There Busy Making His Living?

Going Steadily Smoothly.

What Were We Writing About?

I'm Confused!

Speak Nothing About What You're Thinking About.

Teach The New Dog Old Kicks?

Silly Rabbit!

"Kicks Is For Kids!"

I'm A Baby!

Fetch My Pacifier.



To A Fond One From Col. Corn Flake

Bomber Burning

"Bomber Burning"


Did I ever tell you the one about how my Texas bomber burnt?  Father who never told me he listened to any of Mother's music told me a funny one.  He was a medic stationed in Texas in the army during World War II.  He used to shoot rattlesnakes in the desert for kicks with his army buddies.  We once flew a model airplane propelled by gasoline in my backyard.  Something went wrong and it started burning.  I asked him what the most horrible thing he saw in the war was, late one night, many years later in Palm Beach.  He told me it was seeing a plane coming in to land that was on fire.


Love Billet 

My Shower's Flower

"My Shower's Flower"

Come To My Apartment For A Rain Shower.

I Implore Explore!

Stay By My Night's Light.

I Adore.

So Let Me Be Sure.

Let’s Live All The Minute Hour.

Will Never Sour.

Knock At My Door.

Dance With Me On The Floor.

I'll Love You Forever More.

Like Folklore.


To Billet's B4 And Always.

Traveling Around

"Traveling Around"



Traveling On Submarines And Flying Machines.

Living In A World Trying To Cope With Itself.

Smoked Crack, Jumped On The Tracks, And The D-Train Mangled My Body.

Dead Bodies Stunk Up The Apartment In The Bronx.

Brant Hid With His Friend In A Dumpster Avoiding Warring Gangs.

It Makes Me Feel Bad That Life Can Feel So Sad.

It's Like A Missing Chapter In A Book.

Astonish Those Who You Admonish.

I Am Yo Man Yo Man.

I Rap As I Fiddle.

Rap N' Roll.

Fiddle To A Dancing Stroll.

Nobody Knows Nothing.

I Am Smart I Know You.

Know Me Too.

But I Don't Know All Of You.

You Don't Know All Of Me.

We Don't Know All Of Each Other.

Ourselves?

Father's Mothers?

Mother's Fathers?

Sister's Mothers?

Daddy's Brother?

Aunt Uncle?

Uncle Aunt?

The Reflections We See In Other Mirrors?



"Billet's  Ideals"

Life Hurdles

"Life Hurdles"


Don't sleep in a car.
Live in a jar.
Take the B&O Railroad to Chicago.
Go swimming in Water Fountain's Well.
Bounding life's hurdles.
Ride on a purple stallion over a yellow medallion.
On a bus built for two with you.
You're inside out.
Right side up.
Left side down.
I see a speck of candlelit flashlight at a campsite.
Is that you?
Can't hear you talking in the forest.
See you walking down the path.
Swimming in my bath.
You fill my paper cup up at Lovely Mountain.
