James McLain Poems

Most virgina clams..
are nothing more..
than top heavy..
spandex covered...
...

it must be humble, simple and earthy
and withdrawn slowly and touched often
each stone too will look a little different
and unlike the many these are not often
...

a dog once normal; and sassy
i talk to some of my other friends
and we know what to do,
we think...
...

when i become lost about it-is why
it's you that i push and while you pull
it's only about your heart i am shy
my face and yours-and cries
...

Teacher it is hard-being one teacher,
and teacher so write none are wrong.
Too pull it out of one and push it into another,
when mothers and fathers blame none but you.
...

and why not gay girls and rose knows Lilly
and shows her, all that lies between
and why do you think i go too them for advise
about you on how to make them grow
...

and i still would again; hold you
then you smile at me,
and the honey caused me too.
While i wait over and feather it,
...

Exposed and with clinical detachment.
While an array off emotions can and will dictate.
Being out with the many deigning too end.
When it is touched and only by thus storied word.
...

she once was proud and more than this.
then once apart and now we are more than close.
hair dirty and bedraggled likes the dark to park.
and late at night the drive is all too short.
...

Exposed through fear and with clinical detachment it's scalpel.
While an array of emotions can lay siege and how you dictate.
Being out with the many deigning one bend your mind to our mirror.
When thus it is touched and only by why dry tears storied word.
...
