James McLain Poems

In this world,
where you are awake in your sleep.
Unable to move a finger or toe at all.
Anything from animals to apperations.
...

Using sex to choke and pull hair to express one's
deeply rooted neglected childhood dreams.

A girl or a boy grew up with a narcissistic mother or father
...

That little girl you see with me turned
Seventeen only yesterday.
That fish I caught the one you see I'd
Let each tourist hold and take their picture with
...

It is no small thing,
to weep in your smile.
It is some times a painful confession
it makes.
...

As have men do and women to
water begins to rise.
Where once man lived driven back
there it is damp-moist and wet.
...

I cannot make her come any faster,
Why does the cotton lay wet in the fields?
The sea, the ocean the waves, leave
There mark on her face.
...

Fifty states fifty ways to die based on
Misinformation and then there is he.
How could this have happened Obama nipped
The Ebola virus in the bud.
...

Preferring beef myself,
Not genetically modified chicken
Full of what?
...

As of today it seems that the coronavirus
Testing is only for the wealthy.
How could America have fallen so far
Behind.
...
