Nicolas 'Kokonutz' Kokonas Poems

Don’t lose yourself so quick
Or be so quick to let your mind wander,
Don’t let you eyes be so quick
Or be so quick to believe your eyes,

There was a snail slithering through my house the other day,
When he saw my flowerpot sneakers by the door he laughed and told me I was lazy

Playing Chinese checkers
At the orange blossom ball
Stuck in Chinese finger cuffs
That I attribute to my fall
...

Lying in a pool of mud
Beneath a thousand suns
The buzz is constant.

I was fermenting in a vat of stout
Slurping down epic gulps of the finest aged hops I have
had the pleasure of drinking in twenty seven dog years.
...

These aging shoes seem to follow me wherever I try and flee
but even when I got rid of those old and rugged,
weathered,
tethered,
...

A small glimpse through the crack of the door and
Lucy,
was lost.
An eerie shiver and trembling overtook her
...

Tired, bored, homelessly ugly in a visual desert of hallucinogens.
It’s dry.
and I haven’t slept in days,
The grains of sand in the wind
...

Tales from tomorrow
Shall never be told by the mouths around the nipples of the old
We will sit lonely
Like the men up on the parkway
...

So sad, pathetic soul
Sitting, quiet benches, back,
Fallen, sleeping under rain,
Quiet regrets, lain rest,
...
