Dearest Convenience
How did you make my life so damned busy?
Did I have today in mind as a wish in my freshman year?
I wanted you for simpler things.
An illuminated watch face,
so I could read ink in the dark, without turning on the big light to disrupt a perfect setting.
The first time experience of pizza delivered to the front door.
A special event.
You were a pretend celebrity!
King for the evening!
Now look how you've blossomed over the years.
Now everyone is in love with you!
We can't get enough of you!
We're addicted to you.
Infinitely...

Better to run off with feathers in pocket, rather (than) the weight

The Prettiest Corpse
All the fake lashes
And overfilled lips
Shards of acrylic stuck on fingertips
Inflatable asses and silicone breasts
Give this whole Barbie delusion a rest
Faces injected until they can’t move
Can show no emotion but look 22
Pose with your back arched, it makes your butt bigger
Suck in your stomach, your waist will look thinner
Now shoulders back and turn to the side
That way your torso won’t look so wide
Your hair is too thin! You need these extensions!
Your thighs are too thick, you need liposuction!

Nightmare of Moloch (for Mr. Ginsberg)
here it comes
another voice
among the voices
that echo
in our minds
with mental traps
that blast
bullets
tipped with fear
deep into our
sacred spaces
while
all us Poets
howl like
Ginsberg
warning that
the best souls
are being devoured
by fucking
madness

Poomnography
settling for the wrong word, dreaming
of some one you shouldv'e loved long ago
wit piercing missives.
That was the way forged
of the silly stupid stuff
we know.
compared to no thing is everything else, yet still no thing.
spit-polish all them contraptions, and yeah, no thing.
all the boys in the world waggling their genittitalica. no big thing.
the girls in the fuckflicks, "All models over 18yrs old", holy no thing ...

How to MAKE Money in the STOCK MARKET
Here's some SIMPLE tips:
Go in early in day, look to catch mart when VOLUME is low and no bad news.
Better if there is presence of powerful good news.
Catch mart as volume going from low to high - esp in wake of positive news.
Rule is that mart going up at certain rate will SLOW DOWN before it reverses, going down.
Just like a vehicle slows down before it turns a corner, turning around.
"Mart going from up to down is like car turning around."
I put it in form of a rhyme to make it easier for you to remember.
Try catch mart when ascent slowing.That...

Betterment of Bliss Amiss
i guess i'll spend the rest of my life
"spending my life"
is as reasonable a credo as any, giving life as
reasonable a pur'pose as
reasonably possible despite it being
probable cause for expulsion from
the human horde.
talkin'bout the length, width, and depth
of certitude, (or p'haps i'm thinking of solitude)
where the flowers illume'd glow,(and I) too old to know
which side of the roundabout "I" sprouted from,
covered in broken schematics, telling lies about
the better liars, so as to keep the competition live'ly.

Rett og slett Gabriella
Av Stanley Collymore
De fleste forsøker obligatorisk å vise dem ordentlig en slags
vanlig høflighet til strengen av kunder som vanligvis på
kurset av arbeidsdagen deres er de rutinemessig servering,
og dette uavhengig av forretningsmiljø der de er enten
hyggelig eller på annen måte personlig involvert
i. Alltid gjør det fra et strengt økonomisk og
selvtillit indusert insentiv eller like likt rett
og slett lei av det merkbart bittesmå og ikke-kreative
sinn en stillestående arrogance av dypt inngrodd
offentlig uinteresse for det...

Simply and endearingly Gabriella
By Stanley Collymore
Most people obligatorily endeavour to properly show
some kind of common courtesy to the string of
customers whom customarily in the course
of their working day they’re routinely
serving, and this irrespective of the
business environment in which they’re either
enjoyably or otherwise personally involved in. Always
doing so from a strictly financial and self-servingly
induced incentive or just as equally likewise a
simply bored out of their discernibly tiny
and non-creative minds a stagnant arrogance ...

several haiku
Haiku
A season is over
Golden leaves softly fall
The breeze is absent.
Haiku
Bushes have the blooms
Still intact covered in dust
The town waits for storm
Haiku
Indoor plants sag too
Sorrowful for no reason
Longing for freedom
Haiku
Umbrellas await
Know their duty are coming
They have the courage
A season is over
Golden leaves softly fall
The breeze is absent.
Haiku
Bushes have the blooms
Still intact covered in dust
The town waits for storm
Haiku
Indoor plants sag too
Sorrowful for no reason
Longing for freedom
Haiku
Umbrellas await
Know their duty are coming
They have the courage

Beat Street ( For Mr. Kerouac...on the road again)
city streets
lined with ghost-like
faces...empty
black eyes
glued to shop-front
windows...empty
reflections of hope
the only sign
of life
blood stained
pavements
gutters gurgling
with greed
...empty
broken promises
&
dead dreams
dancing naked
on a $2 coin
...empty
in the distance
an unknown busker
lets his horn
reincarnate
Miles Davis
round about
midnight
