flowery pros
I read thIer works
and I recoil reviled
of wonderful sex
and romance facile
though critics may say
and there gums may bleed
pink Barbra Cartland roots
spreading the seed
and I recoil reviled
of wonderful sex
and romance facile
though critics may say
and there gums may bleed
pink Barbra Cartland roots
spreading the seed

fine tuned fingertips
always highly sensitized

Deliberate Ignorance
There are many ways
to compensate
for that
frustrated feeling
of being
a system slave
drink
drugs
beating the wife
kicking the kids
as you would a dog
in this life
of your deliberate
unconscious submission
where you rot
to compensate
for that
frustrated feeling
of being
a system slave
drink
drugs
beating the wife
kicking the kids
as you would a dog
in this life
of your deliberate
unconscious submission
where you rot

Talking about the Weather
It's a safe topic
Benign mostly
It's cold today
Don't forget your scarf
Hat too
"Okay"

She Is, Something
something
she is; something
that is never between
nothing and everything; something
other

that is never between

Blue
Why is the sky sometimes blue?
It reflects the ocean;
A mood.
When the sky is grey,
The sea looks dirty;
Uninviting.
It reflects the ocean;
A mood.
When the sky is grey,
The sea looks dirty;
Uninviting.

Property Owner
she asked
the police to
evacuate her heart
of all those who occupy it...
Squatters!
