in your mouth?
ah yes – its a cock.

Nature
Nature will take you by surprise. When you step outside your door, for instance, there will be a sudden soft wind in coolness that envelopes your senses; it was sent on that path just for you – that’s the secret to life. Nobody really knows the secret, but it gives you the sweetest feeling of being alive.

~ PTSD ~
It’s hard to see,
there is a stain
beneath the glass;
it glows as cake,
such as radium, ether,
or as with anything,
the only thing
that's real is the stain.
the stain is radioactive,
in that there are triggers;
it's religion, arrogance,
and fools for(religion & arrogance)
Thank you all for
your understanding.

Chemical Blackness
For the ninetieth time
the malignant lay open
while I lay sleeping, as
a nuclear steward tastes
dust of a billion airships
in chemical blackness,
unable to resist the lamb
crouched at my feet, today
I'll chase carved shallots
with the convincing noise
of illogical apples to
relinquish the torment,
and tomorrow when I wake
I'll search of no object
except no object itself,
to plant the ivies again
with the...

the Egyptians
Books, clocks, and teapots,
a hookah flavored alley croc
with bated existence,
a plover with lighted destiny;
it captures the imagination,
forthwith and cherished forever.

Did I hear that right…?
My bad, I heard him
talking over ma’s bum,
about how the snakes
pied passage thru Ireland;
admittedly, I was panicked,
and then it dawned on me
they were religious, and
knew nothing of Parliament
or teal striped PJ's;
I'll wear a Kevlar dress,
and speak only of lavender;
I could probably pull it off…

Ode to Selfie {Ivankita}
Now here I am looking cute in my hat,
now here I am, looking cute like that,
"in spades of truth, it’s her selfless wear,
Ivankita is sharing her sun sprayed hair,"
now this is me, with me grace that states,
I’m completely put out by this pretty face,
great, what wrong's this thing? foto fate;
take the picture hand, my friends they wait.

The Mystery of Willard
The river said to dream big. He could never understand how a man could ride up and down the river and never listen to the story that it told; a measurement used by mariners as two fathoms and on and on. This is somewhere along the lines where the waters calm and the undercurrent take a ride with uncertainly, yet with certainty they will certainly meet. Give a man an inch, and he’ll stretch it to hell and back and is it any wonder. I once talked to my family so poised and severe. I know what I know – and they be dammed that have a right to stain the golden silence! I should think that...

For Joyous Sing
Ting goes the meatus
with joyous sing-a-ling
rubbing durp in er ears,
bursting tympanic membrane
with delicate debauchery;
whores? I like whores,
I like how they open their faces.

I used to think I knew
Come walk with me
beyond this place
that takes an onion's cue,
in a laughing sense
with sadness mixed with
a galaxy's point of view,
I used to think I knew when
the poet came to life, perhaps
back in the days of enlightenment
where Humphry Davy dropped
his basket at the penny university,
or where the last great alchemist
was never revered as a scientist, ...

My Umbrella
My dad once told me that in order to catch a bird, all I had to do was put a little salt on its tail. It isn't though I didn't believe him; it’s just that I could never catch the bird in time to get the salt on. This is irony, I added some because I thought that the bird had an important part in the tale. Tweedledee put a water bucket on his head and said; does this make me look pale?
Note to self: Please stop quoting Humpty Dumpty and Tweedledee in English Composition and Science papers – It will only confuse the professor as to which’s the idiot.

How could one explain…?
How far is the moon;
Its just outside the door,
how long is the night;
the same as the one before,
why is the earth a magnet,
and no one knows quite why,
how can the eagle soar,
and yet never learn to fly,
how do the lines sum up
the face of Earth’s rotation,
displaying isogonic band,
yet have a variant declination,
how does the concave mirror ...
