The town I was born into was a grit incubating slum.
It was the worst of places yet had some gruff-faced
high-headed days.
On those few times
(days that did not seek to hammer me down
into the brick and rubble strewn ground),
I would walk like a lord-ling
in my own spit-rinsed and grubby manor.
I would swagger, daring all to cut the throat
of any withering word
or to blast the staring eyes and ogle-mouthed louts
as they came at me, only to ski-daggle or sidle.
In those long hours, in those dank drenched daylights
I would fight knuckle-hardy and win
then wear a trophy cut on my chin
that ached in the stony-breathed air.
I was a tough and scrawny king atop of his small heap
and the town bowed down to me until the next day
when it sought once more
to murder my rough-hewn soul.

Hush the whisperer is exhaling his/her sighs
whispering softly, words barely heard --
to horses
"Keep calm, big fella, I dig Yah, don't daggle the reins"
to dogs
"Down boy, down, wag Ya tail if you understand, shake hands, good boy, good boy"
to loved ones
"I love You", sweet nothings, blushed with air kisses
to lions
"Why can't you purr, Yah big kitty cat"
to whales
"Cickety click, clickety click "
to dolphins
"Tweets, tweet, click" whistles in bubbles and rattly chatter ticks"
to elephants
"Let's play forget me knots, again"
to aliens
"Get Ya AI to look up 64"
