Caustic

When a woman is fed up
With being done wrong
The worst thing she can do
Isn’t sharing your lies
It’s telling the truth

The Life Of A Rockstar

Love call for Rockstars:

Define

Confine

Enshrine

Then:

Dethrone

Disown

Bemoan

After ten years:

Exhume

Resume

Consume

Baby, you're gonna be ok.

the dangers of being self aware

woke up one
        morning

looked out
 the window

there was
 nothing left

went back
        to bed

on reflection

never wanting to be anything other than
ordinarily I’d agree
but just occasionally I’d think
and then think again about something else     ..

Porcelain Origami

She folds herself into a swan
So she can fly away
She cracks but never breaks
She reinforced her porcelain

United in Pain

In each post
Each breath
Line, word, letter
The spaces between
 
We

poet, footballer, whatever      ..  

being an amateur at something
is more enjoyable than when it’s undertaken
for money, although important,
takes away a little from the pleasure    ..

Mind

What a tricky thing a mind is!?
As accurate as a photo.
It gives you the illusion
To know the whole story.

Sombrero

Frost kissed dew of maple leaves  
with cold winds beneath a sombrero
and rains hemorrhaging on the pane
in classroom dreams with likeness
being, a piece of chalk beneath a
sombrero`

Push

Push yourself into disappointments, renowned for their falsities, with impossible speed - who could ever grasp who you truly were?

Cord, Bottle Caps, Cardboard = ART

Collage
On
Recycled Amazon cardboard
Fluorescent Lime Cord
.99 at the Super Store
Gatorade Zero bottle caps
Labor - 15 minutes tops ..
Could easily hang in a museum
Instead
It stays with me
Priceless
