I am wondering
is his brain cell on time share...
talks out his backside
I've heard our leaders say, "Your Covid test is free.
Your government pays." ~ Well, that means you and me!
When we remember we gaze off into the distance
the eyes disengage and brain shows the pictures
eyes disengage they aren’t involved in this instance
the brain shows you memories the eyes never feature
When we tell a lie it’s been created in the brain
retrieval is a thought process causing eyes to strain
micro gestures in the eyes help see the created play
the lie that was created without memories to replay
So when I say I see the lie
I’ve seen it before you’ve spoken
The soul is seen in the eyes
And dishonest eyes are broken
Your eyes always move when you think,
It’s a natural uncontrollable motion,
these micro movements missed in a blink
confirm lies before the mouth opens!
The difference between a lie and a fib
~ One's awkward; one's glib
The most important noise you will know:
the smoke detector with a dying battery'
out in the stair well
going off every three minutes
with the aggression of bass
coming from passing cars
in Washington Heights
to mid-town
and
just loud enough
so
sleep folds in on itself.
Dreaming takes on a different meaning
with a different face
turning from a black and white movie
to yellowed
film
still,
flat
motionless
and all that is left are the waking hours.
It takes technique to escape
the sound that keeps you incarcerated
in an A tonal tomb.
Street lights cast
the turning silhouettes
of fly paper in the living room.
And there is always the hope for the hissing of the radiators
two months away
when the heat turns moist and heavy
like the collective breath of Argentina.
I stood there naked in the hall
Bleary-eyed, as you
Screeched out your fury
I could be on fire for you
But all you do is belch smoke
Sewage of a signature smell
coming for the Smoke detector
by the intake of a cooling and heating
how clever, how sick
you will never be
voted the best of operations
to repair maintains
itchy, itchy, smell like rotten hell
but will sum (some)one go to jail...
not in the this pound (town)
not in this life bind (time)
time...

Polly lie detector test
Will the lie detector test
Clear up all the mess
If we use it on the ratbag Politician,
When he’s trying to impress
Running down our Bessie next
Lie, catches him in the goolies
yes I’m tipping
yes in the bloody court
with lies and crap so fraught
when the liar get beeped
some sweet surprise
never mind the barrister
machine to test your character
machine says you’re an actor
by your cries
it’s no good a bleating
old sheep you’ve been cheating
to be sent down river
by your rotten stinking lies

i love the diaper comment ....Dr Ram
the buggers sure are bent
need changing like the oil in your car
lots of kicking in the butt
the willful mindless mutts
and voting out some time the crass Galahs
good one mate

audible by design, cheating fate playing as life's protector
you had me fooled, with blinking and what not
caring on as, you pushed out your white powered of illness
but it did not wash my black away
my illness is but away to let me see
you planed with great care to take my life form from me~
i want only to see your good name paster all over the news
and for other to know that in your blood.... line
only hate will appear~ with money and sin taken with smilies
so that in your death other will curse your name...
and see that those that came from your fruit...
are but arsenic by design~

The cosmic ray detector lies
dormant in the corner, as it has remained for half a year
but, ah, cosmic rays still penetrate the walls of our classroom,
just as the morning sun quietly filters in through the door-window,
passing unnoticed through my body at lightspeed
