Poetry on Odyssey: "Downpour"

Don't take it personal, but I need love.

I need love.

So, stop bringing empty tables to my attention

I eat,

I speak,

One breath

I repeat

in one breath.

No waste time

Or waistlines

Wasting wind on your filthy breeze,

your common core disease.


Don't take it personal, but

I think I'm ready for better at this point in my life

There is points in this life

that turn into towers ready to 911 the way you love,

Ready to do whatever we want

Started with getting what I need


It's been about LOVE.

We made it about something other than love

And I want THAT love

You were feeding me THIS love

that taste like expiration dates and booty calls

when the vibes come to fall.


The memories turned me on, so

I stayed to make more with you.

The P turned you on, so

you stayed and brought hell with you.

While the seats at the table are full,

It ends with me myself, no you.


Why bother with loving

when you play joker,

act like fool

As if you don't mean anything by melting roses into puddles

Into lion, I roar

Into queen

I stand

then walk

While I make it about me

It has always been about me

And you're not okay with that.


You want me to love you

Wrap my all in you

Tattoo your name

then regret it's been about you

You got me looking for you

forward to you

Rewinding past you, it's time

to walk away from you


I split myself in half,

yet fed you the whole of me

My apologies, if you can't get over me.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
