A Lull During Living
A long short story. Thank you to anyone who can stick with it to the end ]

A Lull During Living
(9 to 5 Angels)
A lot of snow. Not simply falling, but being flung down by the mischievous minor god of weather. Easily confused with the god of assholes.
Just a hindrance, though. My friend, Golly, walked me out of the hospital and towards his truck, for my ride home. As if it was a home. It was the Army barracks, where I lived now, since my wife had decided that it was a good time to be done with...

The Majesty of Death!
By Stanley Collymore
Why fear something that’s clearly
irrefutably inevitable and equally
furthermore, is undoubtedly the
enlivening force and unquestionably also
the obviously clearly effective means of
the undoubted liberation as well as the
beginning, unless of course, obviously
and specifically, you're quite basically
and decidedly specifically alarmingly
petrified that your evident, individual
actions on Earth have actually been
such that now you’re literally, about
to depart this earthly life; really...

once I was young
The Real Meeting.
We sat in a circle, fourteen of us,
pointing knees at each other, drinking
coffee,
trying to look relaxed.
Sweaty palms discretely dried
on trousers leg
One of the six women in the group
spoke - women are better at
airing their feelings than men- she
went on, a great length, about a life
of endless cocktail parties around
a swimming pool, posh wine at
an expensive restaurant,
of which I knew
nothing; fiddled with a...

William Windsor: the bone idle racist, white supremacist and quite witless heir!
By Stanley Collymore
Essentially, William is just as work
shy, bone idle but undoubtedly
self-entitled, as the rest of
them. Quite so in fact, that it wouldn't
surprise me in the least, if this simply
discernibly inured white supremacist
racist, essentially thinks that manual
labour is distinctly obviously, literally
undoubtedly, an immigrant to Britain
Spanish waiter. My natural solution?
Make him monarch; and effortlessly
sit back, as the Republicans then do
their thing; as they essentially did in
1649, with...

From ashes comes beauty
In the depths of a timeless valley, where darkness reigns and hope seems lost, I find myself entangled in a web of despair. The once vibrant light that illuminated my path has been obscured by the shadows that now surround me. Lost and alone, I wander aimlessly, with only the winter breeze as my companion.
As I struggle to find my way through this barren land, my mind is consumed by doubt and fear. Whispers of doubt and uncertainty echo in the night, haunting me with their relentless taunts. I am filled with a sense of foreboding, anxiously awaiting the inevitable moment when...

Why aren't the police doing vital welfare checks on these very lazy but allegedly hardworking, so-called royals?
By Stanley Collymore
Lol! Principally because they clearly
wouldn't get very far with such a
proposition of mine! Since for
starters, all those vile monarchical serf
sycophants would instantaneously, be
maddeningly, up in arms - egregiously
encouraged, and similarly specifically
basically so by their decision makers
obviously in the rightwing press, and
electronic media; citing it as a rather
nefarious woke decision; but simply

As I Get Older
Time is just the most precious thing. The older you get, I guess the more you realize this. Maybe it’s not even an age thing. Maybe it’s a maturity thing, but none of us really knows for sure exactly how much of it we’re going to be given, and so when you truly grow, you learn to prioritize it well.
You learn to value your time, and take it for the gift that it is. Not tomorrow. Not a year from now. Not when you graduate, or when you meet “the one,” or when you have enough money. Not when you finally have all your ducks in a row, or when all your dreams come true. But now.

The Twisted Hand of a Child’s Fate
My side ho’ wanted me at her son’s birthday party at Chucky Cheese
Fuck Chuck and his cheese-motherfucka please,
“Understanding has already been established; she knows what’s up
No surprise visits, Dollar Tree gifts so little man is shit out of luck,
“Especially, if her church sanctified mama is going to be there
What would be her mindset if she knew her mama perm-squirt my pubic hair?
“Whenever my side ho’ is passed out drunk-the shit gets fucking insane
But every time I have grandma wide open the boy starts calling her name,
...

Miscalculated emotions
Being so tight and hard to ease my heart
Forcing myself through fire and get Mickey burnt
I've being isolating in the dark coz the dark is me
Scared of death like it's real coz there's nothing to see
These thoughts be wildin' without mercy underneath
Trying to resist, they just won't let the insider breath
They be actin like a trigger that ignites the fckn powder
These little minions of mine give these emotions that power
Imagination hits so hard but i ain't the thinker
Pretending to be so cold but i am the feeler
Sometimes i see...

The Less I care..
I am fine, as long as i breathe, as long as i eat and meet good friends.
i am fine with the least i have, the little i care, the more i dare seek beneath
the mortal skin, and thus i do not have to rewind the horrors i might have recorded during daylight
In the night i am ever quite as the sleep comes in time, when the body gets tired,
so the mind as well, then sleep and cast the care inside a dark brain until dawn dawns again when i wake up at muezzin prayers calls, in such soft voice piercing the glooms, clearing any fateful doom i might have undergone... ...

Of Nature's Worth In Words
Nature,and Earth and poetry, from nature into words, give your words
pigmental hues and translate them into living beings.
Glory to the tree, splendor of the mountain....
Energy of the wind and of the sea
Solid is the rock on the mountain's top
Fluent, the waters when they stream like poetry....
carrying all the human cares, sins and pains ashore...
Nature is worth the words shed on her land
full of warmth that breaths humanity and spirituality
Patience rhymes with obedience, with kindness....
Lore...

One sexually impetuous act by me doesn't make me a slut, irretrievably!
By Stanley Collymore
Yes, I was foolhardy to do what I did;
but just as there was no coercion
on my sexual lover's part to, at
any cost, bed me there likewise was no
calculatedly cunning conspiracy on my
own either to obviously ensure that he
did and perfectly frankly and honestly
what evidently happened between us
consensually really came about both
naturally and spontaneously. True to
say I had long promised myself that
I would really, never sexually involve
myself heterosexually, for really it is
what...
