Instead
Instead of
holding
someone down,
show them
a way up.
Instead of
turning
away from people,
embrace them.
Instead of
hating people
because of
misunderstandings,
accept and celebrate
their differences.

"BYE NOW"
This one client says
at the end of each call
and every time I smile
because every time
I can hear it
the way my grandma
always said it
at the end of each call
and every time I smile
because every time
I can hear it
the way my grandma
always said it

Logic From My Derriere
Crowded beaches
Crowded protestations
Crowded roads
Crowded shops
Clouded logic
Everything has a sequel (ask Hollywood)
Including viruses (ask Leicester)
I'm sure the pharmaceuticals
Will make a killing
Out of a cure
Crowded protestations
Crowded roads
Crowded shops
Clouded logic
Everything has a sequel (ask Hollywood)
Including viruses (ask Leicester)
I'm sure the pharmaceuticals
Will make a killing
Out of a cure

Evil Eye
The blue sees you
as your mind
goes green.
It's protecting
the unsuspecting
by projecting
the curse back
upon you.
Later, Dude.

LEARNING TO WORK WITH THE NOZZLE ON THE BIDET
I asked how it's done
And you twerked naked for me—
"Get yo shit clean off!"
And you twerked naked for me—

The Chills
Numb is a mental tundra
of cold thoughts.
The past frozen in such a way
that it beams and reflects
a slushy ice onto the soul.

Fireflies
dark-defying bugs
glitter-dusting forest's edge
are they earth-bound stars?

Fem-face V True Drag
Let’s face it
some ideas have
come to light
Parody has
had a fright
But only bad
tasteless
Humor should
taste a blight
Parody-face
can have a place
In the right
mental head-space
some ideas have

Parody has
had a fright
But only bad

Parody-face
