Weary, sullen, mournful face,
A tale of internal disturbance tells,
Perhaps of some chronic illness,
Or of current affairs!

Dark rings around the eyes,
Malar prominence and sunken cheeks,
Malar flush of high fever,
Makes the diagnosis more clear

Clinicians! beware! pay attention!
It may be Acute consumption!

( Note:-- The first episode of

Politics season
Sans rhyme and reason
Never-ending blitz
Constant News Network
Won’t give it a rest

Traffic today
Bumper stickers’
Noted absence
Relief, not grief

Excitement 
Is absent
Root against

Trump chump
Hill pill

Lose.

Though psyche sundered and cleft,
sans like Earth bereft of moon
with wrack and ruin
please don't ask how I am doin,
especially after natural automotive
wear and tear
found anguish brew'n,
no matter yours truly know win,

there haint no benefit in getting
fit tubby tied emotional state strewn,
yet quite impossible to shuck...

Let us not wallow in a quixotic stupor;
Becoming their silly food-stamped serfs:-
Maudlin beings drained of all our vigor—
Doomed to old slave quarters berths....

Today I have open eyes and a straight spine
Birds cheep and car wheels rush
Wires fan the sky
Posts lean
The buckles on my boots tap out a tune
As the sun cleanses rather than warms
There are cracks in the earth
But I don't fall in...

Cavalry chivalry;
Splendor cadillac ;
I'm sure love 
For you shall;
Not to be ignored;
Beloved you are my 
Beloved;
And heated bliss;
I must insist;
I 'll seal our hearts wish;
With the Velvet kiss;
Splendor a cabaret;
 I love you so this day;
What a beautiful foray?

How wonderful you looked tonight
Those boots you wore were out of sight
You truly are the cat's meow
When you walked in my eyes said, "Wow!"
All woman, yes, from head to toe
A tattoo on my heart, you know?
Desire's there at every turn
And I still think about slow...

In the sky, a brightly shining sun
is sending rays to catch someone, 
but 'neath the trees I swiftly run.  

Now, the hunt is taken by the moon,
but she won't snatch me very soon.
I peek from bed at that cratered goon,

who, undaunted, does then recruit
reinforcements,...

A New World Question

Now —
It must be asked— seriously —
How despised is hatred?  
Hating hatred?

Who?  When?  Where?  How?
What…to do about that?  The ways
Of feeling — totally pondered — so
Considerably needed for 
Actions sculpted
To fit a better, newer, whole world —

The river Life is nothing but a glib tunnel,
Except for the dazzling water, it is just a disastrous canal.
Except for any untamed misery,
It would only be an adversary.

Except for an acute pied piper,
This river would be an unalike well-giver.
The fragile memories spring up in the...
