If caught coddling at Coldplay
...Time was each bullet bore some name,
Each lens now does nigh but the same.
Privacy’s all but dead
If not on a deathbed,
Love at Coldplay? Ne’er a lens blame.

Now, this may sound a bit foolish...
But perhaps it's...

The Donna

Ordered discord
...Smeared In a pattern.
This Rorschach abstraction.
Flowing like satin.
In cascading fashion.
Symmetry, mimicry.
Mirroring the mind.
Coddling, throttling.
Either or is fine.

You feel left alone with your own vices

Broke in (burglary) during my absence
Took Mr. Five (her half- brother) for his unearned pot
I just pray Kaalnek, our baby & ...

She Is Never Too Old For Hugs

She is too old for hugs and kisses.
She is eight! I protested. Still a baby.

Try and crush me if you can.
I see it as child's play!
Those that tried, only encouraged me.
