Lemme regale you with splendid and fabulous exuberance

Despite being an amateur
paperback writer wannabe,
whose storied protagonist
stars colporteur wannabe
(thinly veiled cover as yours truly),
whereby his antagonistic doppelgänger

narcissistic, opportunistic...

Just out of reach,

The anticipation hangs in the air, 
The thick, jelly like, immovable air. 
Tempers...

You have been persecuted.
You have been oppressed and depressed,
Wronged and aggrieved, even violated,
And for what?
Because of gender,
Because your body lacks a certain appendage,
Your chest is more pronounced, or your voice more pleasant?

You have been slighted.
You...

Because of life tormenting me beyond tolerable limits,

It was an island of piety
out of place in Port Adelaide’s 
working class sea of pubs.
Off the main road,

or is it evoked
by word or action
by either ourselves or someone else

That 9/11 Day

I was eager that day, 
Just as I was 
Any other day, 
To start my work, 
And state the statistics,  
Discourage clientelle,
Validate company antics,

When I thought would, 
Make a good...

Occasionally her offspring
and her offspring’s offspring...

Danger, danger all around...
Worldly tears came to rest at a long 
measured affronted mournful breast.
In our heart's God's promised freedom
of country were shed many unnumbered tears...
A deadly reckoning, awakened many hidden fears.

"I wish they would not call me that."
It's just an expression of endearment." I said,

Then teased her with shy intermittent stares
