my shadow is a brick wall blocking your love
the heart protection i now need now that i know
choices have consequences that do not wear masks
the next step can either be cantankerously contagious or magnificently medicinal
my shadow is a brick wall blocking your love
the doorknobs that i now need now that i know
choices have consequnces that do not throw masquerade parties tomorrow
the next step can either be cantankerously contagious or magnificently medicinal
my shadow is a brick wall blocking your love
the new counting lessons i now need now that i know
choices have consequences that do not present themselves in many facades
the next step can either be cantankerously contagious or magnificently medicinal
my shadow is a brick wall blocking your love
the new bookmarks i now need now that i know
choices have consequences that does not go in multifarious directions
the next step can either be cantankerously contagious or magnificently medicinal
my shadow is a brick wall blocking your love
each day i hire a New Construction Crew
i am now an octophobe newly sapiosexual
the next step can either be cantankerously contagious or magnificently medicinal
twists and turns of serpentine.
perfumes that emanate from time to time,
through a wall of quietus-trees.
perils in the doubting waters,
amidst the anaconda, caiman, and piranha.
perhaps, after all, man is the more sinister
as his stomach growls
and his face’s beaten bittersweet
by the zenith of the Amazon.
his legs carry portage and dugout canoes.
sinkholes churn whirlpools.
vines hang down and choke.
~ most hope from within ~
for despairing we learn to be thiefs,
murderers hewn out of fear.
insects further trouble and attack,
and tribal eyes spy, and agitate
in perpetuities’ suspicious waters.
Rio Roosevelt thrives cantankerously
as Theodore’s enemies attack,
with deadly scratches and malaria.
but Rondon never forgets
to map and be respectful
of the tribes, even if
it’s to his own demise.

“What the f**k do you want” is what she said to me.
This individual used the most vituperative effrontery.
How professional is conveying that over the telephone?
I heard that in a cantankerously vociferous tone.
I hope she does not answer that way all the time.
Saying that to anyone is not very sublime.
This use of such language on the job is asinine.
Keep it up, and you will land in the unemployment line.
If I take you out to a restaurant,
do I have to make a reservation for three?
I don’t know what has come over you lately.
Sometimes, you are the calm and collected self.
Other times, I see a cantankerously vociferous malcontent.
Too often, there is an unexpected shift back and forth.
Which Eve will be the one to prevail?
In my quest for the true you, I believe I will fail.
Powerfully pandered not pondered and plotted
Ostensibly organic not overtly originally spotted
Liars lipping lethargic lies lavishly construed and truly
Ire inducing ignorance imputing irresponsible foolery
Terrorizing timid tepid taxpayers to respond fast
In an impatient ill illegal inconceivable idiotic mad blast
Callously cold and cantankerously conniving bastards
Assiduously aspiring and aggravating masses mastered
Low lying lingering and living Luddite like lumberjacks
Limping 'long labored roads ludicrously lacking facts
Yet yearning yearly for yuppy snacks
they wouldn't even know what to do with it, nor deserve it.
