Tina Louise Poems

My god’s better than your god,
My special book tells me so,
It tells me how to think, who to love,
And how my life should go.
...

Where once was one, a whole united
Was set apart and much divided

Each piece was given the same chance
...

When the depths of nothing have been explored
And the sides are touched
When we’ve reached into the core
And discovered nothing’s much
...

Threats never uttered are whispered verbatim,
Creating fear of a hypothetical invasion,
As media strings play methodical hype,
Orchestrating the public, to conform to type.
...

Seduce me with your words
Verbs draped across my breasts
Suggest…
…anything….
...

Come swim with me
In our tranquil lagoon
Tickle me
Trickle me
...

Abu Ghraib, England and Gitmo
Valerie Plame, Halliburton
Downing Street Memos
Controversial Nine Eleven
...

Do not try to colour me in
I live outside the lines
Smudgy edges outline me
I cannot be confined
...
