Checking Out
I can't think anymore
My head is a room swarming with cockroaches
Can you please exterminate me?

i hate-You?
I hate that I was attracted to you.
I hate that you affect me.
I hate wanting you.
I hate it all you see.
It started off great.
It was so sweet.
A twinkle in your eye.
I shuffled my feet.
Then you asked.
I said yes.
You wore a suit.
I wore a dress.
The meal was nice.
The talk was brief.
Didn’t want to say goodbye.
Didn’t want to go to sleep.
The night was perfect.
Intense was passion.
...

Queen of Pain
Hear my prayers
Your claws in me
That deadly stare
I can't break free
Behind your smile
I met my fate
Held on trial
Love turned hate
My Queen of Pain
You stole my soul
Through black rain
You took control
Your claws in me
That deadly stare
I can't break free
Behind your smile
I met my fate
Held on trial
Love turned hate
My Queen of Pain
You stole my soul
Through black rain
You took control

Old Itchy and Scratchy MAGA
needed fifteen minutes of fame
then ten times more for rage and blame
like an Anglo-Saxon saga.
It was fight, fight, fight... fight, fight, fight,
with buckets of blood in the schools,
when those mangy MAGA fools
got another kid in their sight.
I guess it will end when we're dead
since that's what MAGA seems to need
when anger breeds with business greed
in a white supremacist head...
where everything they'll ever know
they mixed with Trump and Old Jim Crow.

thoughts percolate...
my heart wants to believe the best of others
but my mind...
holds a catalogue in memory
having borne witness to evidence
entirely to the contrary
& heart views a glass half full
mind sees it half empty
in truth...
it bears the same contents
it is...what it is
as a feather
plucked from a wing
no longer capable of flight
left merely to drift
near weightless
at the mercy of a current
such is the wandering of my thoughts
where heart sighs
& minds flinches
because we...
but my mind...

IT MIGHT BE UNDER YOUR NOSE
I love and use a story I heard
years ago, the source I do not
know or the author.
It had been a beautiful and fun
day, the annual family reunion.
After the crowd had left for home;
a couple of families were staying
overnight with grandpa and grandma.
Grandpa had retired to the bedroom
to escape cleanup duties and take a nap.
Two grandsons with an eye
for mischievousness slipped some
Limburger cheese and went into grandpa's
bedroom and spread some in his mustache ;
soon grandpa aroused with a few curse
words...

DRIFTING TO NO WHERE FAST
Can you picture thyself just drifting in a boat going no where fast, just drifting upon the calm waters as you are welcoming the calmness of a soft breeze. JUST carrying you by chance far away as you sit in your own subconscious of your own thoughts. 🤔 For as you smell the fresh air breeze against, the very touch of your skin softly brushing, against your hair blowing with each breeze. As you feel that there is no other place, that you would rather be, here as you are totally at peace. Escaping from that place that has somehow been of the world 🌎 with imagines of changes ...

By Divine Command
By divine command we’ve been told to take this land
And it doesn’t matter who is already there
Because a greater power has told us that it is ours
It’s a directive that sounds right and fair…
And yet something weighs heavy on my conscience
To see that many innocent people dying on the streets
Seeing families being forced out from their homes
Women and children searching for something to eat
Like the homeless man who comes by the neighborhood
Digging through the trash in the rain and mist
Being pushed out by the cops because he...

question loneliness
i have
begun to
question
loneliness,
rearrange
my thoughts,
whether
light day
or dark
of night,
i come
up with
the same
problems,
because
there is
no one
here to
help me
understand.

Abinger Hammer
My heart belongs in Abinger Hammer -
You know, that cute little sleepy village,
That sits deep in the heart of the Surrey Hills -
The so-called stockbroker belt!
Living somewhere like Abinger,
Means you've made it somehow!
Pronounced Ab-BIN-JER, not Ab-BING-er,
I once thought, as an awkward 16 year old,
Spotty slow learning backwardly mobile
wiry haired retard!
You can tell I didn't like myself much then,
Can't you?
But I hate getting things wrong -
Possibly a symptom of my progressing OCD!
However,...

But I hate getting things wrong -
Possibly a symptom of my progressing OCD!
