I have not met many famous people in me continues life

sane relics of the past
Kaftans and  roll-ups
strain to the sounds

Mini skirts and wobbly legs
I hear the wind calling
It wants an account of where I've been
Schooled in Croydon by Woodside

Broken Wishbone


There is a childlike quality
Between the two contenders
Who vie for the biggest portion
The wish that will come true
The win that provides anew
Second chances, rosy romances

For the larger percentage of the wishbone
The part that will assure my

Contender To Looser Slam

I won't go into it

But i failed again until i eventually gave up

Gender of Contender Who Is Biggest Spender

We always wondered about the gender,
Of the people who will be the contender;

Contender Has Been

I could have been a Contender 

But found out at the 11th hour

That talent is nothing without heart and dedication 

That I why no 1 knows my story

Who listen for tips and favor's 

And to make the day go quicker

But even they get bored 

Listening to the same old stories 

Regaled

I Could Have Been Able To Remember That I Could Have Been a Contender

I played insane games with my brainwaves, leaving psycho-spiritual stains in the astral plane, collapsed synapses, bruises, scratches, this ain’t magic, it’s incompetence

Unconscious but alive, same as everyone else in the supply chain on the physical plain: is it wrong that I’m still here, I’m in a contract of astonishment

My epiphanes are crystalline, they’re bought
