David E Navarro Poems
There was a fundamental disconnect
as he thrust out his hand to shake
mine and missed three feet wide.
...
When the Rainbow Umbrella Man showed up
Things came to a grinding halt in Mill Valley.
Folks looked on shocked at all the colors.
Some said he hid from the sun
...
Give a damn or die, gray man,
Withering in tepid states of noncommittal dissonance.
Take a stand.
...
In cold varietal fashion
With stone-faced disregard
She sashays the runway of hungry eyes
With a made up heart
...
Fossil fashions,
The relics of yesterday,
I dig through my drawers.
...
Earth's memories
Buried deep in stones
They remember large creatures
The cataclysm
...
You little thingamajig
with your single anode
arcing across space
to the mercury-pool cathode
...
This exploitative supersizer stands
In the fires of envious aggrandizing
Stoking self-centric delusional grandeur
With the gasses of his invented felicity.
...
Love blooms like pretty eyelashes
unsuspecting fly lands
vicious Venus snaps her prey
rips him to shreds
...
Peel off my layers
as we flip through feelings
like perusing some brain file.
...
He stared at the mirror until
his reflection moved different
thus revealing his enemy
this doppelganger hidden
...
He decided one day to subjugate
his regularly scheduled reality
to a euphoric eccentricity test
an intense labyrinthine trudge
...
He saw the clouds
and took his umbrella
on his sleepy carousel life
round and round
...
The flavors of relief—
a variety of discombobulations
scooped into society's sugar cone
waffled with eccentricity
...

The Best Poem Of David E Navarro
Lost
I lost another poem
this morning
in the early air
between my home and my car
I failed to net it
put it in my poem jar
it flew away
will it be around
somewhere
over there
when I get back?
