Well, It got me guys. I'm absolutely losing my mind in this damn room of mine, and I go for my IV infusions at the hospital on monday. I'm hoping this is over and done with pretty soon.

OK California
You don’t have to wait
you don’t have to ask
for it
show whatever you had
you understand this now
subplots and ugly truths
standing in a puddle of
your own filth
287 bucks for something
you should’ve taken care
of a year and a half ago
the only plan being, going
to the tavern tomorrow and
ordering a grilled chicken
bowl and three hard
kombuchas,
and letting my buddy know I
got the first jab this
weekend and now I
was officially a
survivor ...

Even the Caged Girl Dances
The trees don't shed their leaves here
They still wear their sage green peplum
Though it's so last season
They don't even look like trees
More like hula dancers on the breeze
But this isn't Hawaii
This is quarantine
No matter how hard
I beat against the bars
I can't go out
Into the killing crowd
Under the killing stars
Into the killing night
But even the caged girl dances
Out of mind
Out of sight
Twirling on the wood ...
They still wear their sage green peplum
Though it's so last season
They don't even look like trees
More like hula dancers on the breeze
But this isn't Hawaii
This is quarantine
No matter how hard
I beat against the bars
I can't go out
Into the killing crowd
Under the killing stars
Into the killing night
But even the caged girl dances
Out of mind
Out of sight
Twirling on the wood ...

Try Back Better
I tried to get vaccinated again
after I checked out the
place in Brentwood, but
when I got there, I realized
I didn’t have my wallet
I took that as a sign the
gods truly didn’t want
me to get this shit
and drove back home and did
the same shit I did last
Sunday
well, I wrote a poem I
thought was pretty
good, but, otherwise,
nothing really
changed
I was still considering
quitting, or making them
fire me to my face
but who was I kidding?
I was sucking down...

Unfathomable
Vaccines?
They're for the weak-minded,
spineless wimps.
Mass hysteria
fomented by big-pharma.
Global pandemic?
Clearly, a leftist fairy story
like Peter Pan.
Besides, longevity
runs in my family.
Grandpa lived 104 years.
I'll admit,
I'm a tad needle-squeamish.
What's that?
What about my loved ones?
I have but one.
Oh and I'm a lucky son-of-a-gun
Just this morning
I walked 13 times
under a ladder,
on broken mirror shards,
whilst screaming,
At the top of my lung ...

Question to
thoughts dismantled
An urge to pen everything around.
was it enough to heal the trauma around?
survive among the developed.
efforts are made to achieve the breakthrough.
hope is the only opportunity for the prosperity, is it?
greed is making a way.
contributions made for better future for humans.
Does human have climate and renewable on table for better future?

Help Me, Randy!
Mexican songs on the radio
vaccine mandates
incompetent spokesperson
drugs in the alley
oxytocin
fentanyl
Pfizer
everything you ever wanted in
a syringe
white privilege laughing at
you because you were
that stupid
riffing on the timeline
melanoma hands
skin on skin for content
monetization
thank you to the king
I’m downright giddy
I’ve had time to think
Wed Sep 29 7:09 PM

The COVID-19 Vaccine Is Not The Saviour Of The World
The COVID-19 vaccine will cause discrimination and division among the people.
People who take the vaccine will turn against those who refuse to take it.
It is definitely wrong to make the controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandatory.
Those who doubt the vaccine have the right to decide whether to take it or not.
I have raised many issues that are crucial for the survival of humankind,
But only a few cautious persons so far have participated in the debates.
Is there any evidence to support the rumour that COVID-19 is a bioweapon?
Do you think...

Flat Earthers
I went to get the vaccine, but
the chick was shlubby so I
decided against it
I went home and cooked
some gluten-free
chicken nuggets
in the oven
then I got drunk and
high over the course
of the next few
hours
places on the timeline
erecting the future
the recluse on Beverly
you weren’t right
you were another state
agent, the most
serious problem of
all, on this timeline of
exasperating
events
rats scurrying down
fluorescent corridors...

“Issues” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 28/9/2021
Now These Words Are TRUE …
Humans As A Rule …
Have Clearly Got ISSUES … !!!
And It Seems That The Truth …
Is A … REAL ISSUE …
For A Lot of Folks …
And That’s NO JOKE … !!!
Some Resort To A Smoke …
Or Sniffing Some Coc’ …
To Ease The Strain …
That Affects Their Brains …
Or Just ... SOAK Tissues …
Cos’ of Tear Filled Moods …
Issues BREAK Hearts …
And Mark Dark Paths … !!!
From Drugs To Stuff …
Where Violence Runs …
Due To Ignorant Thugs …
Shooting Their Guns … !!!!!

from the day's mixed moods :: 1-5 miscellany minimalism
1.
::this vicious thus ::
yes sir, second jabbed.
but, where are the jobs...
hmm. the real parasites
are..... _________,, you know.
2.
:: viral expressionism vs writer's block ::
love this feverish temper
i burn fluently high now...
than the wordless asphyxia
of a marooning heart.. by
the summing up chronic toxins
of a pretty veiled world's smiling
assassin acts- a slow python kill
more a sleeper cell terrorism

Masked Servants
One more hit will get
me through
I’m not a piece of
shit like Patty,
but I’m on the spectrum
Mon Sep 20 7:44 PM
cauliflower mac and
cheese bloating in
my gut
the grilled salmon niçoise
decaying at a faster
pace
and the mixed nuts and
dried cranberries farting
out my asshole
I sit in a top floor office in
an abandoned suite in the
middle of Los Angeles,
awaiting my fate, week to
week
still thinking about dying on
this Vaccine Nazi...
