"The Forest, The Lot and The Carpetbagger"

In the middle
of it all, in 
The Forest,
I was asked
by a soothsayer
to choose 
a number

1, 2 or 3. 

I said 
in all sincerity,
“that’s a bad number, 3.
someone always feels
left out discarded; now
if you get down to it,
about playing cards,...

Animals remarkably deal with life and death situations.
They seem to have this unique ability to quickly move on,
and perhaps we could all learn a lesson from them.
When you get down to it, you only really have two options.
You can medically and emotionally surrender to your...

I once walked into my backyard
and found two slugs mating in a bucket
I had just learned how slugs go about mating, 
or trust-I would have been rightly confused

Here hangs a long line of slime, almost a foot long
and then halfway down the thread of slime,...

Get down to it now, 
Work without time in your mind, 
Put the effort in....

Urban nightfall and dreams grow in the city 
This town has proven to show little pity 
To live here you need a very hard shell

The Media is quite confused
Finding they can't make the news
The internet's ahead of them

I do crave the hugging...

Don't believe it is a thing, thought I'd give...

My dad was not a God
But he wanted to love me good
I wonder why
I had to lose him at such a young age
I cried...
