I established a rapport 
with the Sacred Cow
and it stepped all over my toes
the oil of anointment in my crankcase
I was limping worthy of an asterisk
an army of monks couldn't keep me pure

They spread the rumour
It ain’t true 
what they like to think of you
only human 
See their mood
humourous 
see you lose
exuberant 
banter bouncing 
blunt abuse
stand rebound it
legs refuse
their open mouths 
wish you clown
jokes they sound

We haven’t worked out what he’s turned out to be
Stilettos and braces and tattoos in places
That shouldn’t be seen in polite...

Saw Fred staring at the sky.

Please listen to ALL options
before just picking the first heard
as our lengthening menu evolves
at director Dogbert's whim -

feel truly despised - maybe again

Today I will write about stars-
Not the usual
Compressed galactic-gleams,
Not the speckling
In deep sky seen,
Tracked and charted
By singular-minded, bright-eyed teams-

No-I will speak of Real Stars,
Day and night stars-
Eternal Stars
Never growing dim,
Burning brightly
From star-dust within-
Not a glow...

to temper its intensity it may have a propensity
to touch the edges gently to stimulate us mentally
to hide within the lilting verse a subliminally errant curse

Sifting through all the wound thoughts in my head.

The landmark was given the name 
"Exclamation Point," and indeed it became

of sun "dashes" splashing 
on the "comma" aquamarine.
My fashion "square bracket" charms swayed...

An officer in his car patrolling the streets
Protecting the city while it sleeps
But be advised, there is one
Whose deviant acts are never done

Do not think they cannot see
The treasures that belong to the loved ones...

I kiss your risks
Cheerfully without singled 
One out in asterisk 
As we romantically mingled

I play your ball
Joyfully on an away pitch 
Yet, you never reject any of my calls
Or dramatically snub me for the rich.

Melted in the background of the forefront of my mind
 Thinking about all of the thoughts I've left far behind

"Stop for a moment and consider,
What your life can deliver

If not bound by fate,
And the victories it negates

For it implies not taking risk,
Complacency it’s gift

No path towards greatness,
Just everyday sameness

Fate is merely accepting,
Without initiating

An outcome,
However...
