Dora’s Write
Satiety admonishes me that I have reached the ultimate stage of deglutition, consistent with dietetic integrity and any more would be an overwhelming superfluity.

Thin Ice
You can slice it
you can dice it
you can spin it
or redesign it
you can stretch it
or deny it
no matter
the circumstances
no matter
what you do
the truth
will
remain
the same
you can dice it
you can spin it
or redesign it
you can stretch it
or deny it
no matter
the circumstances
no matter
what you do
the truth
will
remain
the same

the serious matter of flies
what is
poisonous
for some
is poetry
for others
what is
reason for
a few is
insanity
to many
black
white
yin
yang
the clarity
of division
the rage
of duality
and flies wring
their front
legs together
before the
swatter
descends
ending the
confusion

Back to the future
88 miles an hour
Flying forward into past
That Delorian classic
Backwards warp
Prevents incest

Always Tomorrow
Is it not easy
With
hamster cage thinking
to excuse the excuses
that one makes
on the promise
of ones intent
that will grow teeth
The Next Day

bleeders
with experience comes
a thinning of the blood
a coolness of the brain that
lifts the mists
and in the grass
the liars sharp as glass
are easier to see
handy that
for bleeders
such as me

Your iridescent
shiny armor and weapons
hide your sweet soupçon.
