heavenly dream of an old gent far spent, as mind finishes rent 
an old man expires, as beautiful aid rubs back with lotion

Periodically writing random thoughts on a piece of paper is my secret escape. 
Left for healing and mending. Right for healing and mending. 
Painful, nonetheless. Don't be ashamed. 
I am the scrawler of my racing thoughts and cannot seem to scribble out
a delimited shape to...

I read you like the paper
 Your face a cover page
 I catch the comics daily
 I master all it's games
 Extra, extra, I'm all about it
 I'll slather up a soap box,
 An' have that **** surrounded.
 Hey everyone! This just in: 
 She's...

Betrayal, precious lover,
Don't fear the burning of your words
Just see my tears 
Run silver rivers
In your mirrors shining fierce
Against reflections

And demand no heart's desire;
But worry not in untrue fashion,

traffic lights
recently went
on strike.

they said 
it was the working

their little paws.

anyway, in their
absence, the city
emergency...

And the U.S.A.’s caught spying.
In Egypt, at Mubarak’s trial,
Witnesses are lying.

Eighteen in Yosemite
Have died while on vacation.
Victims of the hurricane
Are wracked with indignation.

A rainy day – I...

another fall
worth the price

to fill up our cars
