LEADING UP TO THIS POINT.

I OPENED THAT DOOR
IN THE UNIVERSE.
I CHOSE TO OPEN THAT DOOR
I WANTED TO KNOW

I entered the empty funeral hall.
Am I not at the correct memorial gathering in visitation room H?
“Excuse me, sir, but is this the memorial for Mr. Wizby?
 There is not a posting besides the...

Sweetheart Darjeeling

Three hours of walk uphill from the town, 
The woods grew thicker and the world down, 
Heart panting – eyes floating in the wooden beaker, 
Oh! It was dark yet darker-deep yet deeper!

Your mind is verdant with weeds
And I find I must admit
Other's problems take a hit.

When you're old, or so it seems, 
You're friends are all just crazy
And you...

As I strolled  down Beaker Street
A neon sign flashed in front of me

That said "Only Serious Poets Need Apply" 
(Blink) "Need Apply" (Blink) "Need Apply"

So it was I thought to myself

Savoured roots at the tip of a spade
Dying leaves escape their own tree’s shade
We’re in a draught, spare me your tears
Unless you’re a portfolio full of shares

The land is levelled by green boots
Their orders given...

badgered her fiancee into going along

Wrested from my writing by a drone
which signified that I was not alone
in its black and yellow jumper it had come
fat and furry, bigger than my thumb
it cruised around the room in lazy eights
before it...

Not afraid of rejections 
Keeping my guard up
Need that protection

You saw me last 
I walked a path 
Kept looking ahead 
I was looking for a signal instead 
Should I follow...

My friends call me gay,
not ha ha funny
My enemies call me queer,

says I’m his biological son,

Rode the high end all the way.
On the Erie-Lackawanna,
Made North Jersey by next day.
Between a bottle and a biscuit,
And that’s all I’m gonna say.

‘Twas a rude accommodation.
