As
time
ticks by
you grow wise
and dreams start to fade
while innocence and youth vanish
leaving you to deal with life’s hypocrisies and lies
and extraordinary slowly disappears from your vocabulary forever.
The
years
can turn
hopes into
unfulfilled wishes
restricted to the realm of sleep
for reality no longer supports fantasies
and your persona consists of anecdotes memories and idiosyncrasies.

What do we have in common
Squinting after tasting lemon
Scratching itches
Washing dishes
What do we have in common
Laughing when we should be solemn
Squeezing spots
Getting the hots
What do we have in common
We are all a phenomenon
The need to end pollution
We hold the solution
What do we have in common
We all have the power of reason
We all need fresh air
We need now is to CARE

What peculiar behavior I see.
That’s what is known as an idiosyncrasy.
It is inconsistent with acceptances in society.
Persons who have foibles in life
have actions that can cut like a knife.
Someone with an eccentricity requiring a nudge,
is in no position to decide or judge.

What if I were to lie?
What, if I were lye?
Don't you look at me that way.
Don't you look away!
The blond hairs on your back
I know it's cold.
Where are you going with this?
Wherever you are told.
Dance now, it's a stage.
The machine rotors turn.
The cabinets stocked with capitalism.
My Beautiful Idiosyncrasies.
