blurry daze of half-witted solemnity
blamed on insomnia and life-changing events
beckon my genes to unwind their constituent strands
before they unravel on their own accord

Poetry by Robert Dawson
Shower poem 5
While modern communication
Works well in most situations
It increasingly shrinks
Until one day a blink
May signal silent affirmation
Shower poem 6
Ginger and Bob said hello
To mysterious Jamaica Joe
Raised on a blue mountain
You might think a wild one
Surprisingly, though, quite mellow
It's not as bad as it seams.
sometimes
when the world
falls apart
at the seams
you realize
it's just
your zipper
Survival is obnoxious
Survival is obnoxious
Everything tries
Until it dies
What a surprise
Analog apologies
I'm not sure
how to prove
that I Loved
my grandmother
I can't upload
her kisses and hugs
to Facebook
positively disintegrated
positively disintegrated
into the empty form
of entangled enlightenment
valentine's verse
my heart goes out to you
my one and only
executioner
which is heavier
which is heavier
a room with no view
or a coat full of stones
satin earth tones
satin earth tones
with flower patterns
suggest sadness or death
and you can't cut your hair
like a bob on a jane
it says i give up
or live with my grandmother
i plant new ideas
i plant new ideas
and watch them grow
in caffeinated mud
ninety-nine percent
ninety-nine percent
of the tents made in china
occupy wall street
A gentle breeze
A gentle breeze
would snap my limbs
if they were not bound
by desire
Two lovers chatting
Two lovers chatting
Ineffable pillow talk
On sticky keyboards
Coagulating passions
Strength and endurance
Coagulating passions
Whey on my mind
Hundreds of friends
I like to say
That I have virtually
Hundreds of friends
Inside a forced smile
Inside a forced smile
Schedules reappearances
Timed with agendas
Until we forget
Life is hard
Until we forget
And then it makes
A lot of sense
A serious sonnet
Such soft allure mine eyes could feign resist
Till light denied belied thy faintest glow
And feeling touched a pursed lip to assist
Resistance by lone vote was overthrown
When suddenly a furry yellow thing
Grabbed hold with its hind legs as if for life
And eagerly began to hump in sync
With ours a trio's bestial delight
Though struggling to free our furry friend
Proved insurmountable until we ceased
We found ourselves yet able to pretend
That of the three we were the only beasts
Thus soon ended a brief unplanned affair
That ended with a mouth of yellow hair
Smile a simple smile
Smile a simple smile
Wave and say hello
All the while thinking
Of hidden lies below
