The Allure of the Mountain [Today's News Poem, November 7, 2010]
You embrace, so reject what you can.
Default to a mask—for the gas
That swarms the whole world from your ass.
Here is a man who rejected the kitchen
Vegans established, to climb up a mountain.
Starving, awaiting epiphany's pain.
There is the wife he abandoned
Tucking the babes of employers,
While her offspring's with her mother.
And someday the boy will desire
A fantasy—fleeing his home
In search of the face in the mountain:
A skeleton set in position
Observing the sky for a sign.
"Police say protesters have delayed a shipment of nuclear waste to a storage site in northern Germany but that the train is rolling again."

Bonus Poem: August 29, 2010
But first, I'd really like for you to promote Toylit on Stumbleupon: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2wzy07/toylit.blogspot.com/. Not just the main page, but also the posts you enjoy. Review the site too; that would be nice.
Longshotmag rejected this poem, so I'm giving it to you guys as a freebie. I think they made a mistake, but then again, I didn't see what they actually published. I wrote it in an hour. If you like it, give up some applause & check out the sponsors. I'm also working on a news poem, so you'll have more stuff to read pretty soon.
