Pescatarian
I bask in the sunlight
It's 12:58
The air is cool and the breeze undulates
I separate the wavelengths
Into red green and blue
I analyze the footpaths
Of the fatal chosen few.
Destined to walk
On concrete sidewalks
And they lean to the side
To pick a rose:
Now a door, close;
Bilateral vision of the third-most degree
Something's afoot
Something smells fishy
I glance at the reflection
Of a plane overhead
In the tinted window
Of a casket and head
It's immovable and fetal
By joves it's superb! ...

Glue Like Complacency
Held in the grip,
by used cellophane, singe
its coat, burning reflections
behind eyelids stuck shut,
Mirrored avenue,
where trees drink in,
black-- bile
Crowded, rich with dwarf willow
Throwing her embrace
around the dense, strands
of an old man's beard
covered with thick lichen
It hangs free
like morbid hammocks
whose anchor has rotted--away
Languid
oxalic acidic talc pits holes
in this heavy-- metal collar,
around her neck
chains dangle ...

Dark Lover
You despise me, don't you? You can't understand my shame, and loathing, and disgust.
-Daphne Du Maurier
We showed each other our scars
Told of our wounds
Pulled our skeletons out of their shady hideaways
To connect on an intimate level
Or so I believed
It was a game he held close to the chest
A secret from his target
Playing by a hidden custom set of deplorable rules
Rules too outrageous it twists the mind into knots
Evading common understanding
His motives dressed up as benevolent
Cold blooded...

“CLEARLY NOT Like ME !” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 30/6/2020
Now My Name’s NOT Shaggy ...
But It’s Clearly NOT ME ... !!!
Who Will ... EVER Be ...
A Star Like Those Who Hold BIG Shows ...
Where Droves And Droves of People Go ... !!!
To Hear Them Sing And Do Their Thing ...
As In ... Perform Their Music ...
Or Be On Stage ... Acting ...
Or Be Someone Who Gives ...
... Public Speeches ...
About How To Live ...
Because They Are Rich ... !!!
But That’s Okay ... !!!
Because What I CLAIM ...
Is Worth MORE Than Fame ...
And A FAMOUS Name ... !!!

i SEE what i did there~ [farewell youth]
I need glasses now
"Readers"
I guess they're called
I feel old and small
they slip
then fall
infuriating haze
smudge-o-vision
cleaning lens craze
sexy librarian vibe
where you bite sexily
on the tail end
of the frame tip,
in ecstasy
I ham it up to see
reaction is complete
quality
I push them
on my head
"pseudo headband"
perched like an
all seeing eye
not of mine,
of course....
unless you're
far away
then I'm ...
