Friday May 13th, 2022

An excerpt taken from a lengthy tome,
written courtesy a favorite poet of mine.

I swear yours truly never took a drink,
nevertheless he witnessed
and falsely accused of being a...

Frice the week along with night had fallen to sleepless slumber,
Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.

I sense a grimace gurgle in these halls of boned wall,
The aching whims and shaking limbs:...

Morbid fascination (mine) as covid-19 pandemic...
foments rampant monopoly on bedlam

Wreaking ball (his stick) havoc (think ostensible
civil war scale not seen since Vietnam),
whereby microorganisms jamb
Homo sapiens immunity system
complements of gook
resembling green eggs and ham
necessitating Doctor Seuss

Bully me, yours truly 
never ordained, gifted, or blessed
with mien mean characteristic
evoking, jump/kickstarting,
representing, nor zapping
friend or foe courtesy fiery intimidation
if anything aura, charisma, dogma, and karma
emanating, issuing, and oozing out
body electric of one heretofore bookish...

When we were younger…we prided ourselves in being what we would call hip!
We were hip by our music, by how we danced, even the clothes that we wore.
and as grandma’s and grandpas we still think...

Like all things related to screwballs
and misfits

clocks ran faster than chipmunks. 
Young bones were fueled by green grenades

Beautiful innocence, purity plain and true is fleeting
Spent the honest face of likeability that wore the thin veneer of naivety

Vodka breaths
Whirlpool for an altogether lacking
Semi-precious argot falling into ergo false
As thunder

Poster pallet body floods a smooth
Pre-determined crashing rhapsody enveloping
Scarcely baited fluent wounds
The barbed wire cheek with the organ fluid

Vodka-happy under vomit-endeavouring plagiarist pamphlets
Propaganda...

clocks ran faster than chipmunks.

I would be all strewn about
like a...

She had a brain injury of sorts,
not physical or mental. just elemental.

Now she speaks
in a language that has no beginning nor end.
She speaks from a Fountain, a Wellspring.

Out pours the bewildering and the inexplicable,
words never...

The year-end creeps, mercuries freeze,
And buzz up English dictionaries,
All in a forward gear
To find Word of the Year,
Which, for Oxford is the slang rizz—    
An argot not so clear,
Froth less, bubbleless beer,...
