entertaining my self is the thing
...I am currently working simultaneously on twenty-three paintings.

Awaking it from its inattentive rest.

It billows and flaps...

I went to my neighbors
To ask for a favor
And said may I borrow
Stuff I need tomorrow,

A disembodied claw.
Waking my mom is not possible.
For some reason, the popcorn bowl is full.

that would be a treat again.
Need some moisture on the road;

...I’m Onomato-pea-a
The window is my home.
I love the sounds of cooking
At day, at dusk, and dawn.
Mom clomps into the room
And clicks on every light
The curtain whooshes open,

Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?
...Tinnitis is annoying, with little tings
going off in my ears, and crackles and rings.
With this noise in my head
I dread going to bed,
This affliction's such a terrible thing.
I often go for d...

Dings every male in the vicinity
