The Urgent Flesh
As sun smiled a last few moments
on our warm, trembling rock,
and I sat behind you in the breeze,
your skin visibly welcomed
touch of sunset, touch of air
and touch of worshipful hands.
I'd have ravished you there
but for the uncertainty of the day.
Your breasts grew urgent
under my audacious...

Urgent Call for Love

The evil axis has been burning
Who rules the land? It’s now very vague.
The second son must get out of old Al Sham
And meet the hungry jury in The Hague
The puppet is hanging by his last string
And the judgment day is sure to...

Shrubbery Urgent
Shrubbery is critical for survival
An absolute emergency 
The most urgent crisis in existence
The human condition!  The human condition!  Think!
The most important thing in the universe!
Chant it one hundred times per night while chewing crackers
A chair is optional when morning comes
Contemplate due diligence, care,...

I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 But still your knees are on my neck
 Pleas are ignored, my fate is sealed
 I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 Death will result from this ordeal
 Is there a pulse?, too late to check
 I cant breathe, an...

Urgent Need
I was stuck in traffic
Just the other day
When a certain feeling hit me
In a most horrific way

I felt a pressure building
It's happened more than once
But the fact I didn't learn
Made me feel just like a dunce

Sweat was on my forehead
My foot was on the brake
"LET'S...

The temp. was set on " coldest "...what happened?...

Urgent Tea Party

Mrs. Jet sent out the invitations in a fever and a heat
Envelops sealed with royal wax and stamps she licked herself
The tea would be at Meadow Marsh Retreat two weeks from now
Appropriate attire is required for all attending this event  
Pleated blouse...

Senselessly Urgent
given the infinite age of the Universe
this could be a simulation
how can unknowing give birth to knowing
how ignorant do you keep yourself
and remain in the comfort zone
space allows only one thing simultaneity
meanwhile back at ground zero
a serialized 3-D epic 
about the power of of procreation
runs...

Sooo Urgent: Just a Dip
For some,
it is a healing portion.
But me,
with swollen lips 
and aching limbs,
it's rather a headache... (though it wasn't before)

And in my mind, 
it all aches, 
urgency nagging me, through and through. 
Even the most boring lessons
taste the sweetness of nectar,
as my body aches for rest,
and...
