Why
Give and take
Take and give
Lose a soul
Gain a soul
Is this what it takes to live in this wretched world?

Just The Edges
I thought I heard you say
I love you.
Startled me, like a minor car crash.
Enough to alter time, for a long moment.
Changing the parameters
of this evening.
I'm pretty sure I heard you.
So my sticks and stones alerted,
to build up the guard around me.
I thought we had agreed
that word was off limits.
Maybe we hadn't made a pact
not to say it.
But that night, months ago
when we were trading rules,
it was one of them brought up.
Heads nodded, and we got past it,
to the next agreement of ...

Why can't I write anymore?
I see You are here
my feelings urge to arise
You forbid me
And so the pen oblige
my feelings urge to arise
You forbid me
And so the pen oblige

Bedroom Eyes
With gasping jaws,
of Pokémon,
cannibalizing Cheetos,
with bare-skinned paws
and haunted eyes
screaming.
Reduced to skin and flesh
in their teapot world,
of their own Hell.
feeling so naked.
With gasping jaws,

cannibalizing Cheetos.

desperation
the belief that you can
hold back a tsunami
with a wall of shit

Nails
There's nothing quite comparable
To sinking your nails into a back
Holding tightly with just fingers
Is this what cats feel when hanging from curtains?

Plagiarism
To steal can cost much
So found Karl zu Guttenberg
With his false degree

I want it.
I want it,
I can have it,
But to do it,
Will destroy it,
My life as I know it.
I can have it,
But to do it,
Will destroy it,

COVID (22)
Amazing.
Even today there are people out there
Who deny the very ''existence'' of COVID.
They would have denied the Plague
In the midst of it.
