Formal Introductions
I don’t know you anymore
it took nine months
I don’t know you anymore
and yet I’ve known you my whole life
I don’t know you anymore
i came with expectations
I don’t know you anymore
you had different aspirations
I don’t know you anymore
and the new things people ask me about
I don’t know you anymore
i wonder if people ever ask you

Hold the phone, hold the freakin’ phone. Lisa’s got a boyfriend!
I’ve never seen Lisa with a boyfriend. Lisa draws men like fireworks on a dark night, but I’ve never seen her keep one. I mean, it’s not unbelievable but it’s on the edge.

Sage Brown
Peter is joining us for lunch in the cafeteria. I met him on a crowded Saturday morning at a coffee shop. He’s from the flammable, paper-dry, sagebrush hills of Malibu and grew up overlooking the hazy blue Pacific Ocean. He says Mel Gibson’s drunken Nazi rant, when a cop pulled him over for a DUI,

Introductions
Let me introduce
David Dennison - wealthy,
dirty-minded man.
Credit card in hand
and his pornographic plans,
for sex on demand.
Little girls attract
him - his daughter's body
teases and distracts him.
Of course Jeff Epstein
knew the way of it - the pay
& get away with it.
David’s lawyers
smoothed the way - and he’s the
President today.
*David Dennison is Donald Trump's alias in non-disclosure

She said she was traditional
She enjoyed traditional things
That some may think that a bore
Then I was kicked on the shin
With a Pikalinos size 10
Apparently, I started to snore

School Summer Pd Introductions Are Fun
The first few days of school the staff in our elementary building have introductory days
Before the cherubic, well-behaved, respectful darlings arrive.
This year we are doing something amazing. We are doing our three days
In the summer, so they have to pay us an extra $150 for each of these days!
I am getting my introductory speech ready.

Introductions
It begins like any teenage romance movie.
They’re at a party. Music is playing on the speakers.
She’s been smashing buttons as Mileena and chomping through skulls.
“Who’s next?” she dares a challenger.
He approaches with no mercy in his eyes.
Raiden vs Mileena. The battle is back and forth.
In the end, she wins.
He’d never been defeated at Mortal Kombat

Introductions -Part 2-
No one is watching on but you,
Arrested in the familiar and unfamiliar images,
Getting to know the stranger you have been avoiding…
The one that no one understands but yourself…
Who knows how they appear to you?
But they do,
And your heart COLLIDES with several emotions,
Brewing in the soup of your every being,
Listening…tasting…smelling…feeling…seeing,
Crippled and yet whole with the picture

Introductions -Part 1-
Underneath it all…
No, not clothe-less—not naked…
Skinless…we’re traveling DEEP within…
Imagine your skull cut…split right in the middle,
Opening up to reveal your AMAZING brain,
As the rest of your body unfolds…
The fancy clothes…the hair…the young or old,
Bones exposed…organs revealed…
The pupils of your eyes growing and receding,
As you look upon yourself…
You don’t know him or her yet…
The blood
