"Dumb Ass"
is a term
I learned
from momma
as a girl,
she's use it to describe
the way uncouth-like men would curl
flashy, inconsiderate
sentences,
never minding
the hurt a careless, vacationing mind
underlined-FINE-
in HIS mind, and ONLY his,
of course, words spout, sputtering
uncensored by a mind, remember?
........ vacationing ........
.............. yes ........ well ........
lately I've thought maybe
I should take this nick-name-flask
out and dust it;
new inherit,
I dub you
"Dumb Ass"
................ ... how's that crown feeling... .........

Rose, what a delightfully wicked sense of humour! I love the chopping nature of this; I can imagine a conversation with that man, intersperced with grunts(!). A wonderful piece of writing; you have me smiling all evening!
I've tried hard not to treat women as though I am a "dumb-ass" and I think I've succeeded for the most part. I like your "slap in the face" style here. Thank you, Rosa. Love and peace,
Regis

Normal.. in fact lighter, cos I'm normally called worse things...
Love this cynical take on the types that deserve these crowns - Lord knows the world is rife with dumb asses. Kinda like mushrooms in the yard in the morning! Blessings to you!
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
