Shrink Wrapped

can i get a back beat


my doctor
is a proctor
not to be bothered
about your father
so go further
blur blurring vision
deciding decisions

yo
begin again
begin again

i've never sinned
casting stones
throw in the towel
after a awhile
fashion fashionably
late for a date

yo

no make up
making me make
taking a take
a second glance
a second glance

yo
yo
yo

loca mujer
hair dyed rojo
afro fantastico
don't know when
even then
then is now
bow to you
you're my Muse
muse about
get it all out
no leather couch
here where
all are chairs
take care
take your meds
bed is bedtime
time i'm instead

writing about her
again about her
again

yo

vinyl record scratching
back records show
you're good to go 

yo
yo

you're good to go
te quiero
te quiero

Twould be an honor David, but simply can explain that I'm manic depressive. Truly insane. Driven like a sports car by mi Musa. A real woman I admire from afar.

The title played so well. I can feel it. Tight.

Glad to read that you've read more of me then said. I was always wondering who all those, yet few, people to comment were. Actually Maureen, when I'm not putting down what I think us good; I'm just word playing. You should be my shrink jajaja.

I received a comment from a poet here that I love to read. She dared delve deeper into my earlier poetry asylum long ago forgotten. She read "10 in 24" and said, "hard to hold the water in when the urge to purge happens". Unrelated but related replied, " I've a naturally large prostate." Truth IS better than fiction.

I've always been told, "Never whistle while you pee." Never understood that but now starting to slightly understand. Thanks as always Maureen.

Good art can do that. I read more of yours than I comment on, not disturbed, or at least not finding disturbing being a bad thing, the brain too intent on chewing to spit anything out.

Next appointment the 25th. Thanks Maureen. I think some of my poems are disturbing people, but c'est la vie.
