HOLES OF BETRAYAL
The holes were plain
For all to see, clear as day
Like every word pressed from tight lips
Heavy, weighed down with lead.
Yet we chose to believe
Clinging to words for relief
Some of us danced
Caught in the endless trance.
Half a decade passed in a blink
Now we question what we heard
Were those words ever true
Or just echoes from years before?
Their

why do some coins have holes in the middle
Why do some coins purposefully have holes punched in the middle?
To save copper, silver and gold?
Guess again.
So you can hang them on Christmas trees
Or around dog’s necks on their collars?
Maybe
They were actually made this way
So you could string them together and keep track of them
The sad thing is,
It would make things easier for a snatch

Einstein Rosenberg Bridge
I dream in tensors, sleep in curves,
A fabric bent by mass that swerves—
Space and time, a unified song,
Where gravity has whispered long.
A point—no width, no height, no breadth,
A singularity spells time’s death.
But in the depths, a passage hides,
Through quantum seams, where dark divides.
A wormhole yawns, its throat aglow,
Two mouths that neither age nor know
The clocks

Harold tore too many Holes in his Jeans
Howard thought holes in his jeans was fashionably in style
He tore them all down the pants leg, wearing a smile
His mother told him he could not leave the house on his horse
Unless he wore long underwear, and he did it of course
He was glad he did, for these holes were in the wrong places
He had

Holes of Darkness
The Stars.
They are like holes in the deep of darkness,
Through which our little hope escapes,
The hope that helps us survive...
In a world full of irony.

Poking Holes
Poking holes,
In the shadows,
A tiny light starts to grow.
Darkness,
Running from its Glow.
Its a slow process,
There is no contest
Light dawns on darkness,
adding to its conquest.
There to reveal,
To show whats real.
Illuminating the Fear,
Hiding anywhere.
So we can be Aware,
That it's there.
And rise above,
Shining Bright,
Love wins its fight.
Poking holes in the shadows,
Brightening tomorrows,
Lightening the sorrows.
Spreading as it goes.
Sharing what

Black holes stop their pull in fear
Hate hangs from me like a disintegrating cloak
It’s sickly oil tendrils trailing from me
It never gives passes
Eloquent in its misuse
Scratching its way through the sheerness. of the
slivers
Feeling so black that blue isn’t quite enough
Love drapes from me like a sculpted marble toga
It’s twirling twines exploding into fluff
It lives in the past and futures
Incoherently overused
It coddles

Scare the snakes out
All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their own:
Their venom, their flight it controls.
All rabbits chased out of their holes.
How to scare out the snakes, their goals?
The snakes not worried, as they moan.
All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their homes.

A-holes
My father, complex, yet now understood,
His behavior was shaped by his neighborhood.
He called them "A-holes," and they called him the same,
But the environment was really the one to blame.
From giant beasts to tiny bugs in a dance,
Our behaviors are dictated, not left to chance.
Imagine a world with less conflict and fights,
Understanding

Those holes
Dodging one here, dodging one there,
Riding along without a care.
Three in a row, which way do I go,
I close my eyes and curse the so and so.
Oh! what a bang, the old van shook,
But at least it is still going and not in a ruck.

The Black Holes of Habits
Humans and habits,
Both like celestial bodies.
Humans are the planets,
And habits are the stars.
The habit that lingers slowly turns,
Into a vast black hole, a dark abyss,
Hard to escape, we spiral inward,
Tumbling into its void.
But is it truly impossible to escape?
Though I am no scientist,
I know that before the universe,
Our science was inconceivable.
So by what logic do

Ode to Pot Holes
Oh gaping chasm of misfortune
A sign of council extortion?
Roads not fit for purpose
Driving makes us nervous
Neglect of civil responsibility
The cause of such hostility
Oh pot hole why so terrible
Our roads are just unbearable
What future for these holes?
Maybe roadside fishbowls?
My rage is like a rabid wolverine
I shall write today to the queen
Dear Queen Camilla Parker Bowls
Please

Deeper Holes
The hole is deeper than one can imagine yet
& still they want to dig
Put down the shovel & avoid the trouble for the
whole of the game is surely rigged
An enemy seen through wise eyes can never be
viewed as a friend
Their disguise has been uncovered as you've
discovered the source of hidden sins
This is a warning
