A people thing....
I may not be upset....
I may not be happy....
I may not meet your/their expectations;
I may not reciprocate your energy;
I may not be present;
I may not compliment your personality;
I may not be your friend;
I certainly don't want to be enemies;
I may not share your goals;
I may not be cheery;
I surely have a soul,
not quite understood clearly;
I may not be that fun;
I walk with...

A rhetorical question
Do you believe everything happens for a reason?
Well,
here we are.
Well,
here we are.

The Perks of Parenthood
Yes god.
You're right I am a leach and a free loader
I dont deserve any of the things I want
No place to sleep no food to eat no worthiness of love no right to speak no right to laugh
I am eternally grateful for the ongoing gift of breathing and I'll lay at your feet like the grateful dog you've raised me to be
You've often asked what the point of having kids was, and i dont know either
What point was there to having kids who had to hold each parents hand and walk them through the basics of life as little more than toddlers
What point was there to...

RAIN
RAIN
The sky is darkened.
Thunders are roaring.
Lightnings are flashing.
Roads are flooded.
Swamps are inundated.
Rivers are deluged.
That is rain.
Folks love the most your
Admirable weather;
Strolling in raincoats and boots, where
Fashionova is there as a best couture brand.
Stopping by coffee shops to get warmed.
No makeups needed to a rainy day.
The natural makeup I know is you, dear rain.
The outcomes of you moderate the universe.
Without you, the harvests would be deficient.
The trees...
The sky is darkened.
Thunders are roaring.
Lightnings are flashing.
Roads are flooded.
Swamps are inundated.

Admirable weather;

Fashionova is there as a best couture brand.
Stopping by coffee shops to get warmed.

The natural makeup I know is you, dear rain.

As A Gentle Rain Falls
sound of rain
the sound of the rain
the sound of a gentle rain
on the leaves
on the rooftops
sound of rain in the (man-made) pond
the sound of the rain in/on aluminum gutter pipes
the sound of the rain
sounds of rain
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

All or None
In love and war nothing is ever the same, it’s either all or none *
I may carry a rifle
But she
fires
the
gun
I may carry a rifle
But she
fires

Coming in 2020
Coming in 2020 will be changes a plenty.
Katie Perry will get remarried.
Taylor Swift will have another hit.
Miley Cyrus will get hitched and have a baby named 666.
Misogyny will show its ugly head when a female politician is assassinated.
The oceans will rise higher. The earth will get hotter.
But despite dire warnings fools will still deny, global warming.
Now I'll make my finale prediction.
There will be a shocking revelation that our President has a cocaine addiction.
Katie Perry will get remarried.
Taylor Swift will have another hit.
Miley Cyrus will get hitched and have a baby named 666.
Misogyny will show its ugly head when a female politician is assassinated.
The oceans will rise higher. The earth will get hotter.
But despite dire warnings fools will still deny, global warming.
Now I'll make my finale prediction.
There will be a shocking revelation that our President has a cocaine addiction.

picking-satchel of blackberry stained patterns
pheasants and partridge rise
through coppice and hedgerow gapes,
and boroughs of brush, terrified flowers
and abandoned nests,
‘fore the shotgun escapes.
from wiry snares and tweeded capes
their eastern sunned curtain’d drapes
in oleander bursts of shot
in the mornings wake
I awake.
Esteemed fox-bait in style they recommend
Its gone: they are gone.
Their pat has gone.
Jinn of buckthorn makes
a cider so strong, its drunken stings:...
through coppice and hedgerow gapes,
and boroughs of brush, terrified flowers
and abandoned nests,

in the mornings wake

Esteemed fox-bait in style they recommend

Invisible People
It is invisible
the malady
that plagues
the people
of this reality
going through the motions
knowing
deep down
that nothing
is quite right
Being deplatformed
Ghosted
Disappeared
if one speaks
about the rot
of being hollowed out
from within
of slowly
Forgetting
Who We Are
the malady
that plagues
the people
of this reality
going through the motions
knowing
deep down
that nothing
is quite right
Being deplatformed
Ghosted
Disappeared
if one speaks
about the rot
of being hollowed out
from within
of slowly
Forgetting
Who We Are

Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism
I'm all for it
Sexually speaking
Those hot Hispanic women
They do it for me
I can tell you!
They got the moves
They got the moves
Ay, Chihuahua!
They sure got the moves
Those hard nippled, hard arsed
Hot Hispanic women
With their booties
Twerking so fine
And their pussies - Lordy!
Their pussies are devine
Flowers of godliness
Of inspiration
The lock & key
Or is it keys?
How many copies?
A master you say?
Very nice key ...

Psycho Equational
You Act Invitational Then Turn To Confrontational
You Are So Changeable Ever So Multi Dimensional
Unbreakable Unobtainable Yet Still Unexplainable
Always So Empty Yet Your Cup Is Ever Full Filled
Unavailable Untrainable Unmistakable Sensational
You Claim To Be Favorable Yet That Is Debatable
Occasional Persuadable Unattainable Inescapable
Mutation Null Computational Relational Configurational
