All Alone in a Lonelyland

I woke up in this place 
Where everyone was not so 
Different from me yet different none-the-less 
But it didn’t seem to matter much 
It’s not like I’m living the “dream” 
And everyone else 
With their upside-down smiles 
Seems so lonely to me 

The mind is a terrible thing to waste 
So, stop wasting it

The Acid Test

Question everything. 
Reality is slipperier 
Than you might think. 
Here, here 
Have a drink of some electric Kool Aid 
With me. Then, tell me what you think. 
While our minds are free to explore 
Reasoning and understanding goes  
Right out the door and  
Weird able too see 
Why everything seems so basic. 

Life

BRAINS

Eating them won’t make you smarter 
Flying them, frying them won’t make you high 
Scraping them off the pavement 
Certainly, won’t make you fly 
Peeling them off some stickers 
May certainly make you laugh and cry 
At the same time like me 
Synchronicity 
There’re always two sides to every coin 
Just like there are two

The Damselfly

Even then blue roused up
beautiful images and sensations, 
settled so many fragile feelings 
in a small boy’s imagination – 
like music and the damselfly. 
Enchanted, awed, transfixed by turn,
he watched the neon creature
chalk its name in slashing lines
of electrifying blues across
a transparent blackboard of air.

Lol

Laugh out loud: a good belly blast is good for the soul.
Lots of love:  spreading it is graceful and fulfilling.
Lots of laughs: The more, the merrier.
Losers of Lazarus:  Most of us but not me or you.
Luckiest of luck:  Certainly, I wish this for everyone.
Luscious over luster:  You really shine, baby.
Laidback over

The Beer Ends Here

To his shame and dismay,
he drank beer all that day;
never did get to the funeral –
held up, he said, at a urinal.

Window Sign

In a window this sign:
Fresh buns and tarts daily,
and, by-the-way, keep in mind
this is a bakery.

Be of Few Words

With her nose in a thesaurus daily
she accumulated a vocabulary
bachelors found extraordinary.
The result was unsurprisingly typical:
Not one date and not one proposal.
(Ladies, be of few words and cautious,
no man wants to bed with a thesaurus.)

Everday

Tomorrow will be today
And today will be yesterday
After all today was once tomorrow
So here’s a little cheer to borrow

Today is today
Yesterday was yesterday
Let tomorrow be on the morrow
Then you’ll have a little less sorrow

Zeitgeist

Before the marriage knot we tied
she swore to her virginity;
between our vows and intimacy
she either lost it or she lied.

Play on Words

Man in French is ” homme”;
drop the “h” and add a “p”
“homme” becomes “pomme”, 
an apple. And if I’m not mistaken
isn’t that how the first “homme” got
got to know “la pomme fatale”?

I am a little weird

I am a little weird, I will admit,
odd as well, but bizarre? Not a bit.
It’s my appearance, you will agree:
my head is on reversed, strangely.
Consequently I see things from the back,
a privileged view most people lack. 
But I don’t mind, so, please, no pity
for what others call my “deformity.”
It’s really a blessing in disguise,
for it’s

Brain Food

My well-meaning doctor said
my brain is close to dead.
Lay off meats and fats, he said, 
eat fish, all you want, instead.

Fish is high in omega-3,
great for rebooting mind deficiency.
But, doctor, said I skeptically,
how has that helped any fish one jot,

they still get hooked do they not? –
Not too smart, if you ask me.

Trust in Me

Says the snake 
In the Garden of Eden 

Says the doctor 
In the Emergency Room 

Says the President 
In the boobtube of fake news 

Says the Priests up 
In their pulpits 

Says the parent 
In a position of trust 

However, there is only 
One person 
In whom we can truly trust.

Purpose

I know where my heart lives, I've seen the unseen,
Boldly I've witnessed the love in between,
The madness, the chaos, the pain in their eyes,
The tears they have shed in the darkness of night,
The never ending faith to push forward in love,
The hope that holds on and never gives up,
The song that sings louder for the
