'anniversary's dance' timothy r gates, 9/29/2008

cut the wrong way
laughed about the miss
supposed attempt
need for attention
after a dozen times,
only a brother pays attention
this too wanes thin

rocks in your pockets
gas stove on with pilot out
piano wire
garage closed, car, with filled tank, on
forty-five, aimed correctly
best: piss off a serial killer
divine providence blames this on...

'before i was cool' timothy r gates, 9/27/2008

before i was cool
i wasn't cool
i'm not cool
kids and adolescents think
i am
my kids friends do too
neither wives thought so
(why, then?)
professional artists, usually, don't
others do
others don't
let me see, i grew up:
playing my Martin Guitar
King IIb silver bell Trombone
(benefit of deals parents
made with god,...

'Beauty Falls' timothy r gates, 9/24/2008

Beauty falls
flies
sweeps across the sky
skies too
Beatrice never tires
of Dante's desire,
unrequited or not
Eros is not wearied
by Cupid's usurping, in some stories,
of his dispassionate passion
Beauty arises
resurrects
explodes exponentially
yet reclines
Gods and Goddesses
sing
jealous of this freedom
Sirens laugh incessantly
songs of delight
tempestuous only for the forlorn
Beauty...

'Appropriate equivocating' timothy r gates, 9/23/2008

turn my head,
'damn!?' immediately, explosive thought
'it's my girl from my teens?'
but i'm not in mine any longer
and, well, Lolita
just isn't appropriate
-inappropriate is rare for me,
and boundaries,
they're on the other side of the border-
(I wonder: Residuals, decades now, hallucinogens,
something I conveniently blame,
or I miss, or I vicariously jump into,...

'lingering taste' timothy r gates 9/19/2008 (inspired by another's inspiration)

the lingering
taste
pastes upon my mustache, chin
whiskers too
what i never
desire
to wash away
what makes me ever
smile
where others,
who don't know better,
ask me,
'why the smile?'
i chuckle
whisper,
'if you dare to hear,
i intentionally didn't wash
her
off
this
morning.'
(here, my smile enlarges)

'moon's looking' timothy r gates, 9/09/2008

moon's looking down
half-faced
wipe the lens
wipe your ass
moon's looking down
something in that face.

'Soar' timothy r gates 9/15/2008

Soar,
i would
if not for the burden
strapped tight
darkness' brightness
illusion
delusion
ascending
descending
mark time
it's that damn hiss, again
presuming my
I am.
Nailed,
i merely fly better.
Soar,
i do.
