No, Not Really


Gonna miss the days
of those scathing diatribe rants
Gonna miss duh daze
of that diss-gruntled miscreant

Ask me 
what is my most fond
memory, silly

Waxing poetically
‘bout the wretched fall
of genteel civility

Ask me do I believe
what my repressed heart
pain edit shows me

No, not really

Gonna miss the nights
of those backward scroll bark tweets
Gonna miss duh sights
of that carny clown moonwalk deeds

Please ask me
what be my bosom best
selfie safekeep, silly

That cherished chain 
‘round my neck
Which give my fetter thoughts
slumbering liberty

Ask bluebird me,
as I pillow drop in free fall ease
Ask soaring sigh me
‘fore I rain cloud drift to sleep

What is my most favorite
bedtime story, silly
It’s Snow White tenderly caring 
for black swan me

It’s such a beautiful celluloid freeze,
this imaginary empathy
brings much tears to my wry cheeks

Gushing romantically
‘bout the downtrodden rise
of Pharaoh sensitivity

Ask me do I believe
what this broken heart of mine
REM knit telly me

No, not lullaby really

Wouldn’t it be wonderful 
to live in a
wintry dream alternate reality
