Petrichor is a complete vernal scent,
an ache so feral it’s filled with lightning.
Waiting for new plans to make a descent
the past seems to leave the future biting.
Plans slowly unfurl and then start to run,
a hit to the soul spiking bone marrow.
With no need to outsource to anyone,
you’re in control of your own tomorrow.
That urge to defenestrate the outgrown,
when you impel it’s a breath of fresh air.
Nervously investing in the unknown
feels a bit like that initial jump scare.
Choking on such cloying efflorescence
vestige broke in exposing my pretense.
She thought
her idea
wonderfully brilliant,
he could only defenestrate
any
thought not
his own, and so, bag and baggage
she became the homeless
slightly loco
witchy
woman
of forest glen,
legendary tender
of fair magical mystical
critters,
secret
Elven friend and full moon dancer,
silly mushroom picker~
but I just call
her Mom.
With those who
want to test the waters,
and yet have no wish
to get their feet wet,
but wait to have their cake
(and eat it too)
handed to them on a plate,
I will neither split hairs
and pick nits
nor reason or debate
(or tear their thoughts to bits)
and yet,
if they're going to 'fly',
(jump to a conclusion)
either do it or don't,
as Yoda said, 'There is no try,'
I may not agree,
but it's not up to me,
and can only advise,
should they desire
to self-defenestrate ASAP,
'Take the first window of opportunity.'
Monstrously Machievellian
Demonic pedagogic
Ominously Orwellian
Demagogic logic
Fools’ Musk-ovite mules
Zuckerberg zeitgeist heist
Dickensian dystopia rules
Google last post bugle
Fossil fuels myopia drools
Bellicose Bezos blows
Bro-ligarchy mates’ malarkey
Unions demonstrate
Amazon defenestrate
Hades Gates hierarchy
In the dock
Murdoch foxy skulduggery
Poxy TikTok runs amok
Crass puns..shock thuggery
This lot don't give a jot
.
Bitter sh**ter Twitter
Greedier needier seedier
The death of mass media
X marks the spot!
Glaring oracles, suspended high above the asphalt,
Imperiously commanding reckless drivers to a sharp halt.
Defenestrate the folly of haste, oblivious to the signals,
Prioritize life over velocity and frivolous giggles.
I clasp my hands upon the cheeks of a sinful man's cheeks defenestrate him as he flies in the sky away from the house he was cast out of only for me to feel dysentery my belly opens up. From the protruding from my belly, a tumor with an almost human face vomiting serpents coalesced with the head of iguanas and connected to my tumor. The man whom I threw came back tenfold a battle ending with one kingdom standing to bare witness to something older coming for us all.
Shadow the darkness to bring in the light.
Ephemeral fright should not strangle you , ?ghting the bad fate.
Remember, you are the only one to cause yourself delight.
Ebullient life awaits you , so, don’t choose wrong route or be late.
Nectar for success lies in hard work and faith.
Defenestrate your fears , to nurture your path to contentment.
Illustrious rumours on life may tremble you which were spread by rote.
Proclivity for hard work can negate those rumours, make a note.
Impregnable belief accompanied by good will , will lead you to the denouement.
Take all possible righteous paths for the aim you doted,
Yearned, adored and once you ?nish your part, believe the concept of “SERENDIPITY “.
riddance
flung, begone done,
when blight cast out window
with careless stray abandonment,
called 'fore'
"How clear can art be?" Salvador asked,
"when surrealism is the order-of-the-day,
the order of my dreams, and for sale
at the gallery down one block and over two."
"Persistence - persistence always forays
to visions we never knew were in us,
out of us, about us; That's believable."
"Gala says I use her for muse and of
course she is right, she is all ways right."
"There are elephants and chessboards
and fluid watch-hands with eggs to fly in
every direction. Ask me what they mean
and I'll throw it back at you. How do I
know what my dreams mean let alone yours,
but you may procure them for a pittance."
"Clearly, inscrutable is a word I like to
twirl in my mustache, for I only buy the
finest mustache wax, and THAT is inscrutable."
"Glass is to be seen through, a monocled eye
to the deeper dreams just under the surface.
Let us pay homage to form, then defenestrate it."
