What a relief
A racial crime
A tragedy
The white guy
Kills three blacks
But his assault rifle
He purchased quite legally
So we're all good here.

Haiku #14
I made songs with no rhythm
waiting for you to listen
the dark brown inside my eyes

Greed (X22)
On social sites
Ordinary people giving a few $$
Adding to a few million
In aid to Hawaii
Pocket change to billionaires
But where are they?

A fine connaisseur
When the french word connaisseur
Is pronounced in english
It sometimes sounds like ''konnè sewer''
Which then refers to a person with
A deep knowledge
Of a lot of baloney, hogwash
And bullshit.

He was tremendously apprehensive.
So she closed the door.

Touché
My darling Vlad
Last night
I dreamed
you were roadkill
and I was the crow
pecking hatred
from your heart

Voyeur (life just can't resist)
life
is a
voyeur
to my pain
watching
intently
my despair
must be
a great
spectacle
for it
comes again
and again
to fuck me
with its
gaze
is a
voyeur
to my pain
watching
intently
my despair
must be
a great
spectacle
for it
comes again
and again
to fuck me

"She was. But it was Whiskey mixed with Sherry."
"Uuurh!"

watching people die
in religious wars of love
gods watch shaking heads
my narcissist friend
always saying I am wrong
saying anything

Nothing Left
What an hour to still feel unheard
Not once does anyone hear me
The things I post are depressive and absurd
But I’m still human and I’m still feeling
For now
Not once does anyone hear me
The things I post are depressive and absurd
But I’m still human and I’m still feeling
For now
