Checked
I could cuss you out using all kind of bloody profanity,
that will cut you so deep,
it will enlighten you about your anatomy,
but the God in me, makes me...keep...
my mouth closed...painfully.
The amitigated audacity,
of you to disgrace my intellectual ability,
just by looking at me and
assuming my urban...

Checked In, and In

One guest had clearly overstayed....

The Under Checked Vices
i wash away the harmony
caught up in your grip
thirsty for a century
Freud told me id slip
house of empty bottles
mirrors obsolete
peers often meet
while Jekyll starts to sleep
cant bare to train my iris
a different strain of virus
a closer threat than isis
the under checked vices
hear me

Have My Head Checked
Rather than my car being wrecked
I should have had my head checked
See Series game much does cost
Regardless if they won or lost
From my choirs was sidetracked.

Have You Checked the Frosty Fridge
Where have I lost it? I have searched through all the cabinets and cupboards. 
Might it be in the bedroom tucked inside sheets of lavender? 
Nope, only broken memories in glass frames, my knuckles smeared with red. 
What mayhem has embarked in this kitchen of...

Need My Numbers Checked
Need My Numbers Checked

Know I need my numbers checked
To see if some can be correct
Will keep both fingers crossed;
In the trash may be tossed;
Or be winners when they inspect.

Checked For Change
Checked for Change

While walking I soon started wishing,
In pocket for money was found fishing;
Checked for change,
Then did re-arrange;
More money to me God will be dishing.

Premium Member I Checked Out the Soup
Sitting at my desk, pen poised to write
  I was going nowhere fast all day and all night
When my Muse suggested I check out the Soup
  See what was up with my friends in the group

Checked Out
Careful, calibrated responses
Neutral showing of emotion
The words breathe empty as we talk about the weather
In my cautious approach, I tell myself to 
Just play it safe
Be cordial
Don't engage

Assuredly, you tell me 
That your love has moved 
But, I sense reservation
A dare to keep feelings concealed
And...
