Whiteout [Today's News Poem, February 25, 2011]
In the dark, it's mind and toes that cringe and hands that grip the walls;
Dark and it's raining—you'll drown in the whiteness of clouds and squalls.
It is simply candle dulling sight to match the other senses.
Stars fall as gushers; to river down asphalt, as water fences.
And combined they're dull, as white as candle wax or strips of rain
Flinging the sparks to the earth in a tantrum of cloudy chains.
"Yup. Still Raining."

Tweets+Edits=#twitterfoundpoem
WARRIORS, welcome to Valhalla!
Did You slide Here on a ghetto Rainbow Special
or a .38 Special of blood and #bullshit ?
Did You taste The ghetto Rainbow?
pimp cadillac purple and newport green
before your lips turned crackhead coke white ?
Did You go running through the street, naked,
screaming, "TASTE THE FREAKING RAINBOW?"
is that when You first tasted The awesome,
and very Special .38?
Life crushes and processes You, from Cockroach Brown
to baloney Pink in a concrete gray Cuisinart.
You are keen and mighty: A WARRIOR!!!!!
