Tiny Flaws?
I’d bet dollars to donuts mine’s smaller than yours
(am I still on the subject of flaws?) “Not my Quark!”
though sharp eyes of beholder’s perceptions may spark
an outpouring of “magical mystery tours!”
Are you getting my drift (do you see where I’ve been,
can you guess where I’m headed? My muse is on track;
though its rails may toast “quantum of solace” (for lack
of great metaphor). Physicists spin less toward sin?
Do more ‘Charmed’ quarks get ‘hadrons’ when coupling with qu*er
(same as ‘Strange?’) And if ‘Up’ mates with ‘Down’ is it clear
who’s more ‘Bottom,’ on ‘Top?’ “Oh my God, I can’t stop!”
So much charge in their depths, they must ‘preon’ or pop!
Dad was sad (but I’m glad) I did not spawn a child
to bring other souls pain (if a flaw one more mild?)
Still, men sin till they die! Grace through Christ? Still, we lie!
Let me lay my misdeeds at Christ’s feet with a sigh!

I'M A PACIFIST AND WILL KILL THE FIRST
PERSON WHO SAYS I'M NOT
The moon was in the center of the sky when I heard her scream
so she told me about her horrible dream
it is a venture I am forbidden to describe to anyone
but it involved and ex-lover, tears and a gun
the gun, in her dream, was as real as my friend freds
and in the dream someone ended up dead
who died is something I cannot reveal
all I can say is the dream to her was ultra real
so I heard her scream in the middle of the night
she doesn't remember what she told me about fright
my sweet put it out of her mind and Rolodex
and if her dream had been real he would be more than her ex
I would have stood up for my lover even if she was wrong
because i'll bet you dollars to donuts he's not that strong
let me meet him in the street somewhere someday
and her dreams like that one will fade away
