White Noise with Bangs
She smiles like a mission statement—
all vision boards and decaf compassion.
Says she’s rooting for you,
then plants rumors like heirloom tomatoes:
carefully spaced, watered just enough
to grow wild in someone else’s yard.
You know the type.
Squeals I'd never
right before she does—
but soft, with mittens on.
The kind of sabotage that
leaves no fingerprints,
just your name
smudged under a headline
she pretends not

Prologue 10 Assorted and misc pangs and bangs
The atmosphere was alive and palpable,
surreal really
as the aegean blue of electrons after a
summer downpour, where the crickets take a short reprieve to zen the petrichor.
The little company looked one to another,
spellbound by the new revelations. "Hillary and the

Cutting Her Bangs Again
The mirrored door of our medicine cabinet came off its hinges today. You were searching for the waterproof band-aids you made me buy because every time you have a cut you wash your hands thrice as much. You said it was wasteful to change your band-aid nine times a day.
The mirror crashed, sending your image

Before Big Bangs - Yes, Big Bangs, Thanx Prof Penrose
I
Think of a huge pond or lake. It's been raining. While ripples fall and send their concentric circles further and further, you no longer see individual ripples and circles. Although it's now a confusing criss-cross of space and time, you can track back to the individual raindrop that started each ripple - backwards in time.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs and the Flying Car
They are on the final stage
Of being in their Nascar cage
Soon they will leave the Daytona sun
And under the lights this car racing contest will be done
After putting up with the rain
It is time to deal with the pit crew game
Check the gas and the glass
Along with the

Bangs
BANGS
dyed-up bangs over my face like prison bars
fine, without fizz
i need a facelift
tiger’s eyes, striated, squinches
the familiar room seems faceless
dim
the din of one trapped
guilty of nothingness
a pin drops
no one hears in the dark grass

Banging Bangs
Finally, my way is clear
I can see the the beauty in all
Things others don't notice
Or dismiss, as insignificant, small
The sound of water flowing
The smell of crisp clean air
Inundates my being
With what all living things share
I let go of all my fears
And open my eyes
Only to see stupid bangs
Hiding the revelation that cries
.................to be KNOWN
Fighting against

When the Gun Bangs
I stay in my own lane,
steering dry
of the train,
Don't care about
the fame,
Just trying to
make a name,
So when the gun
bangs,
who lies in the aim?
who dies when it flames
Two lives in the drain,
Who dies from the pain,
Who cries from the gang
Who lies when detained
Who says they were framed
from blowing out
his brains
He's dead!
They exclaimed
Tears flowing from

Anxiety Bangs At My Skull
Anxiety Bangs At My Skull
Written by D. W. Breidenthal
Oh,
have
mercy
on my soul
oooh... x3
Can
you
hear
me x4
You make me
literally
fly sky high
The sky's
The limit
- let's spread
Our velvet wings
& reach to the
Deep, deep
Universe
Sometimes,
I just have
The urge
To fly...to fly
and slowly,
But surely...die
The roof's
Above our heads
- but let's break
that
Barrier
and
Break
free
from
the
world's
Misery
Oh,
have
mercy
on my soul
oooh... x3
Can
you
hear
me x4
I'll drink in your curse
Oh,
have
mercy
on my soul
oooh... x3
Can
you
hear
me x4
Anxiety

At
My
Skull
Now.......... I fly... I
