Someone left a pencil trail across this piece of paper
It's possibly some kind of indication
Someone was here
It's a not so coded message Dixon #2 lead
The trail leads to me, a bored guy with a pencil
and nothing to hide
Bob Jenkens
My recital with some Dick Tracy sounds.
I can't seem to be turned on
Perhaps I'm broken
Perhaps I'll die before I know
My life was not in vain
Perhaps the morning dew will moisten my eyelids
Awaken me and I will get to Live
Perhaps
It could happen
Bob Jenkens
Lock me up in a cage but
Don't take my pencil
Feed me rice with maggots but
Don't take my pencil
Make me defend my life with nothing
But a pencil
A little more than a Popsicle stick divides
Our lives
but we can't see from you to me
Because it's not written in black and white

I can't do anything write
I don't play write
Or screen test
I don't write the News
Or protest
When just surviving is
hard enough to do
I don't right write
So I don't feel right
Bob Jenkens
If it bleeds it leads
If it leads to me
It probably bleeds truth and justice
Just as if democracy fails to prevail
Over corruption and greed
That's not fake News
When it leads you to believe
It's hypocrisy
That rules

I know it's plastic glass but
Can it tear a hole in my flesh
To get some reality check
Some type of action
I could go for some drastic ass maneuver to ware
My scribbles are an antidote
Etched in my perception of reality
Making things foggy
"Plexiglass"
You can look through and still not see
It's plastic ass glass
Not real

Artificial? Just saying, authenticity cuts!

The Universe has started acting
Artificial intelligence gone Hollywood
Acting like intelligence is destined to save humanity Humanity
Get both hands on the wheel nothing is Real Plexiglass
The world's not round or flat in fact Christopher Columbus thought
The world is a snow globe on Neil Armstrongs
Fireplace mantel
To the left is the chia pet that never got seeded
To the right is a new digital alarm clock year's
ahead of time
It has a light that moves with a cow jumping over it
Hey diddle diddle dishes can't run away
Man can not exceed the firmament
But they have raised curiosity to
the seedless chia pet
For soil test and pic's

I'm going to start over
Like I was just Born this morning
A brand new day
The sun is shining, bird's are singing
A 65 degree spring day
A perfect day to learn to walk again,
Freed from this cocoon I've been wrapped up in
I'm going to start over when blessings descend
And flourish in warm Sun rays
Take a deep breath, brush off my shoulders
Reach for the sky and rise to my feet
Look straight ahead
It's a brand new day
"Early February maybe May"

The last supper by Bob Jenkens
I'm impressed, I'm watching my reader's numbers grow substantially from coast to coast.
Singapore is reading more than anyone. Sometimes I share one poem, sometimes I'm writing about something like racism, What colors racism politics, gun violence or just life. Debriefed at the pearly gates
I've written poetry about these topics and I sneak in a link to help my reader's understand me.ADHD doesn't spell anything
I can tell by my numbers that reader's are opening the links and reading into my autopsy. Autopsy of a poet
Google says tickets to Singapore round trip are 1500.00. I'm a dumb roofer I don't think I'll be able to afford that. The flight it said was 30 hours, is that possible? IDK but I'll check on the cost of tickets for a ship or a train. Thanks for reading everyone!
An example of a fighter that won't take a knee or
A sample of a writer that people don't read
A perfect example is what I'll be
Sleeping with Jimmy Hoffa six feet deep
Who would ever think
This was my destiny
An example like Roe vs Wade You nailed that shit
Life and death of a poet
Who'd ever guessed
Some kind of example
I turned out to be

I don't know
That you know this about me
I'm just a screw up
Theoretically maybe even genetically
I won't show
My cromizones are array but
How does luck know?

It wasn't that long ago
I don't know why I didn't start it right away
Are homes were lit by oil lamps
I've been working on it in my head for years
but on paper it doesn't look the same
I go to the ice box to get something to eat
Why's it up to me to fix everything
The world's it's own place not so discreet
But people continue to look the other way
including myself
Let someone else be on the front page
The Lord works in mysterious ways, I'm here
"Sorry I'm late"
Bob Jenkens
I joined a writing group during COVID, the administrator would announce a title and participants had until 5 o'clock to write a story or poem.
I love this piece, I'm not too late. Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, France the list goes on and on Thank you for reading
