feel it's supple weight, the simple fright,
I use jasmine...

we have great difficulty in casting ourselves
as other than a one-sided protagonist story,
which others might...

Come join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -

Arriving, the elephant trumpets
agendas of aberrant acts
while the donkeys drool,...

 Too much testosterone in our Bologna

too much testosterone-e in our baloney

killed the dignity of our femininity.

Stepped out of my character onto front

lines, armed with cocktails, rocks, and lighters

Mothers, warriors, and...

kindles cracks within crystals like flashes from pistols
                 residing inside of the gloom

It's very time consuming
Driving yourself mad
But not quite mad enough 
To commit to the mental torment
So trying to balance 
Very precariously
Whilst throwing tiny weights
Onto the wrong side of the scale
So existing forever in extreme stress

In bustling cities where dreams take flight,
Amidst the chaos, people strive and sway,
A tapestry of faces, colors bright,
Unity in diversity, a sight divine,
In every heart, a love beyond compare.

In boardrooms where deals are made, economy's...

In only a moment of maritime mirth
My ship's maiden voyage was missing at birth
The King's Royal Navy reduced me in rank
By flushing my ship in the place where it sank

forgot what I had set out to remember
when my deconstructed self
discovered there was no authentic anything
saw through it all every granule
how we became the unwitting tools
of smarter people who really weren't smart enough

Two old men. That’s all; not much to look at.
Their frail, broken shadows shrunk against the sunny morning
Brightness slowly searching its way through gnarled branches
Overhead, and crisscrossing the red and black pieces
Upon their welcoming checkerboard.

Upon bare skins flesh.
Shackles hand cuffs, bind generations,
 Under whips task...
