Premium Member Lie Detector

I am wondering
is his brain cell on time share...
talks out his backside

  Your government pays." ~ Well, that means you and me!

Human Lie Detector

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

Mornings Smoke Detector

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.

Smoke Detector

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

Smoke Detector of Sewage

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

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

Don Johnson 7-may-11
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
Don

"arsenic Verification of Evil " (Smoke Detector) 2/17/09

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~

Untitled #298 / the Cosmic Ray-Detector

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
