How to not get raped: A Girl's daily checklist

Don’t wear shorts — they’ll say you asked for it.
But also don’t wear jeans — you’re being too Western.
Saree? Salwar? Dupatta? — Oh please, that blouse was too tight.
Basically, just wear shame. That’s safest, right?
Don’t go out late — it’s dangerous at night.
But if something happens in broad daylight?
“Well, what was she doing alone in

A Checklist for 'My Day'

Sunshine soul resonating joyful vibrations
In a key of kindness, modulated by mirth,
With chords of joy, arranged in light,
And a symphony of smiles—
I approach my day.

Laughter echoes and resonates warmth,
In a cadence of contentment.
My soul is tuned to joy, lilting with laughter
And soft choruses of delight.
I welcome my day.

Serenity in symphony with bliss
In cascades of jubilant

Few Things On My Checklist

Open the drawer you'll see a diary,
A wimpy kid full of anxiety,
Lean frame meek face all I got,
but I strolled blithely.

The first page got my expensive dreams covered,
A trip to the Alps in the shimmery Swiss summer,
then hike the Mont Blanc and write some for her,
sitting on the rocks sipping mild liquor,
tongue-in-cheek, whimsical humor.

On that

A Football Checklist

1. Stay low,
2. Strike a blow,
3. And go with flow.

Or wake up on the bench
With that ammonia stench.
"How many fingers do you see?
What do you do on 50-Slant-C?"
"He remembers the plays again.
He's okay to go back in-
Just an elbow to the chin."

1. Stay low,
2. Strike a blow,
3. And return that elbow

Checklist

Here’s a little checklist
If you think you’re getting old.
Check off fewer than a couple
And perhaps you’ll be consoled.

Are you losing hair or finding it
In places unexpected?
Do you crave a turtleneck
So extra skin goes undetected?

Do you need a nap by 4 p.m.
And doze by the TV?
Do you wake up nightly, several times,
Because you have to pee?

Checklist

I'll never get addicted to games of chance
I'll never get up on a stage to dance
I'll never read novels about romance
I'll never wear a kilt instead of pants

But, on the long,long
list of things I'll never, ever do

At the top, would be to ever
cause hurt
to you

Climbing Checklist

When finished climbing mountain dew, explore other paths to prosper through.

Through shouldn't exist, climbing mountain dew was a check off the checklist.

Tick, tick, tick, tick. Sigh.

Boolean Checklist

The shuffle of conception
  veils intent behind promised order
      until every umbrella-opened mind
         cries out for truth, the 
liberator, sleep.

Surrendering misplaced trust
   proves the natural sequence remains
      behind the reptilian empire, ancient
         wealth, eugenic lies, 
mechanical time.

I tap once for yes and twice
   for no, yet no matter where I shall go
      elements of control box-in my soul
         using microchip, camera and 
satellite.

A Checklist For World Domination

World domination is a fickle thing.
Arsenals must be compiled,
and friends beguiled,
to see successes bright sheen;

At first armies are riled,
building from the broke and poor,
can save you your store,
a trick from The Hailed;

Citizens must have rights, to ignore.
Omnipotent secret police,
the raids must not cease,
cultural ideals, smudged by gore;

And no food, or space to lease.
Those city smucks
