A.J. Huffman- Three Poems

Set . . . Match . . .

The level bubbles red (stop) not

yellow (pause).  Flip

the flag.  The play

[ing field] has been empty.  4 years

of silence = emotion

                                 al evolution.

You call it disengagement.  But that is

another equation.  Entirely

inappropriate, I begin to disprove all

constraints consistent with

[your] gravitation

                             al pulling.  I am

all thumbs and thoughts, scraping

erasures over blanks filled in

with zeros.  That is a history

worth recording.  For posterity,

I pose in contemplation (mostly

for the cameras).  In reality,

I am immune to every gradient

pheromonal influx of this relation

you title:

                        Game.

Sifting Out All the Impossibilities

I am bubbling (over?)

with ideological idioms of breath

and breast and blood.  Where

am I in this nightmare's rampage?

Trampled or triumphant

hold the same space.  And

both are too abandoned

to separate my shadow. 

Let alone my resourcefulness

regarding misunderstanding.

The whole scenario is misguided

(at best).  Beastly.  Bleeding

amongst exhaustion's drippings:

Discards over dreams.

(Now that's a house worth folding for.

Or) Falling over.

The biomathmatical calculations

take on a captivating glow.

Is it power or pyre?

Guess we'll have to wait

and see what flavor the ashes flow.

My Brain is Fried

Sliced on angle to keep

the flavor in, it wilts in bubbling

puddles of butter-flavored Pam.

Losing color (and calories?)

with every prolonged minute of this

forced interaction with onions

(their stench alone, shading it green).

A flip finds the other side

crispy and crackling with exacerbation

at being overdone.  It always believed it was

more sunny-side-up-smiling-eyes, feels

cheated of its chance to drool

at point of puncture, mourns such mock

metaphoric death as it drops,

an unceremonious plop,

onto chipped enamel plate.
