Like a Piano - a Satire
I'm falling like a piano off the top of a building, You know, the one that lands directly on someone's head As they're walking by quietly meddling I crash into a million pieces with no warnings to be said Wooden splinters, wires snap, keys clatter across the crosswalk SMACK Pain engulfs you and everything goes black Confused, you gawk At the mangled mess...

Premium Member Expiration Date
I am fire and rhapsody in my private chambers. Inside out, I am flourishing, animated, and measured. My heart pumps owning the same conviction at age 15. My hormonal sexual splendor surely must be the same dense river I swam at 20. In the mirror, I see only my ardor dancing, my uncontainable flourish advancing. As usual,...

. for public domain Humbling Grumble (in the presence of "What have you been muttering?" Like Laura Wingfield and her glass figurines, indulging her comfort in daily routines, so near to the living, so far from being alive, resists drawing breath, no matter how I connive, cajole, entreat or entice, beckon or reckon; commits no sin, not she, no, not for a second.

Humbling
