In pain and sad form,
To state our hearts' deform,
To stake our rights and reforms,
You know that where two Elephants fight the grass suffers,Do be well...

First let me start by saying “I AM A CLUTTER JUNKIE”
A clutter junkie collects things any and all things, things that are unimportant and often cheap
Things that have no purpose or meaning.

Got a belly full of booze and I
Feel like tripping the light fantastic,
Dancing with the devil in the pale
Moonlight, whatever you want to
Call it, I feel like dancing!

Doing the two step shuffle

LIFELONG, MEANINGLESS MUSINGS MEAN EVERYTHING OF NO VALUE

OFF THE WALL RAMBLINGS


After upscale meals, I know no relief
until I somehow pick my un-fancy teeth.
Serve me good food in my own home

Cutting stones for building blocks doesn't
bring the whole food at the table. Playing

They pour at five-thirty'
In their shirts, coats, and ties,
Tired- but not really dirty'

In the parking lot,

and march with the others

leaving the station.

A line of loafers march in step,
through halls of granite and of pearl.
A rare and vaunted holy sept,
heels all clicking, toes unfurled.

Through halls of granite and of pearl,
briefcases locked by secret code,
heels all clicking, toes...

today, sister, you are an adult
among the hurried ones in suits
attention cast to watches and briefcases.
