Man Eater



She approached me after a workshop...

Introduced herself by her name...

She said I knew her family well...

And that our history was the same...


Against my better judgement...

I allowed myself to accept her bait...

I tried to move with caution, but then...

She invited me home to mate...


She said she’d be my lover...

She said she’d be my best friend...

She said she’d be there with me...

All the way until the end...


She said she had emotional sobriety... 

And all the tools she learned at school...

She talked about rigorous honesty...

And then she played me for a fool...


She talked about letting go...

When my feelings began to get real...

She said I misunderstood her emotions...

And the intimacy she made me feel...


She said she’d be my lover...

She said she’d be my best friend...

She said she’d be there with me...

All the way until the end...


I realized I stepped on a trap...

My intentions were indeed sincere...

But I let my male ego take over...

As her love would soon disappear...


I’m too smart to fall for phonies...

And the players of this game...

But once it was all said and done...

It was fun just all the same...


Beware of all the hustlers...

Who play both lover and best friend...

They’ll break your heart and laugh about it...

All the way until the bitter end...

A Pussy Seance

Three precocious pussies... Engaged in a séance one stormy night... Upon hearing some loud angry hisses... They scampering off in scaredy-cat fright...  Connecting with their many lost lives... In what became a ouija obsession... These three precocious little tabbies... Fell into a demonic possession... When felines play with necromancy... Then they should always beware... Playing with a dead pussy... Can give one quite the scare... ©  2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice

A City of Squalor

Image
I once loved my beautiful New Orleans… The city that care forgot… But today it’s like a frickin trashcan… With politicians that simply care not… They no longer pick up the garbage… As no one seems to care… I try to get my new neighbors to help out… But no one wants to do their share… It’s seems like people are happy… Living like fat pigs in a dirty pen… The local residents keep telling their children… Move away and don’t return again… The restaurants and bars are all closing… The tourists are nowhere to been seen… The crime rates are shooting through the roof… The entire city is no longer clean… We have no one to blame but ourselves… For electing politicians who feed at the trough… When we beg them to listen to our worries… They smile and give us the blow off… When we elect the dregs of society… Politicians with no skin in the game… It’s too bad New Orleans is dying… A slow death for those who remain… © 2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Isolanity

In isolation There is less pain… So alone I try to remain… The more I try to explain… I soon realize my thoughts are so insane… But there’s no reason to complain… Reaching out I’ll just try to refrain… © 2021 Jeffrey Pipes Guice
