A healthy dose of invective flourishes at Highland Manor asylum

I hate to be curt,
but welcome to the monkey house
at 2 highland manor drive,
where all manner of imbeciles go berserk.

I and the missus

""Child's Play""

You go down like rain,
A wishing star in disguise, 
You scream bloody murder 
-the perfect two-face disgrace

for yourself? Your pain and
anguish gnawing at you?
Just because to start you
ended up the object of
another’s twisted fantasy
and there were four of you
but then Gloria asphyxiated
you have no claim to sorrow

It’s so serious,
it ain’t even funny
High times going on
in a White House underground bunker,
where Archie is glassblowing
American taxpayers’ money
He got heavy munchies
of Jughead hero dreams
Telling his kitchen cabinet
to kiss the silver signet 
of his fingered...

Where the paradisiacal angels reside.
A myriad of creatures, ebony and betide
A dinkum dissolute and a discreet divine,
A degree of dexterity, a denizen decline

Amidst the mahatmas and zeitgeist calls,
An indweller quests for lyricism...

For you I can do so many things

Patient Hope is on a stoic decline
The celluloid tread mill 
is crybaby set 
on an aorta sob incline —  
A cardio faithless, vertical whine

Shouldering the weight of personal decisions,
is seen nowadays 
as an irresponsible,...

I'm not weak.
Tears don't mean anything.
Just because you think you know me,
You call me your crybaby,
But I'm not. 
I am strong.
I am just as capable as you.
I am not naive. 
I choose to trust.
It is...

Get a life, she said
Dark thoughts ring through my head
I am nothing—for that is what you have made me
Tears streaming from my eyes

I can make you feel alive with my words, but I died in these moments

So what I can't draw, dance or sing?
Am I not expected to stay happy the way I am?
I know my scores aren't that high in exams?
But why on earth...

In circumstances whose cause I can’t pinpoint
In twilights when I teeter and shamble on my stilts
As my head I wrack to diagnose the flashpoint

That turns my world topsy...

And white tufts of tawdry deeds,
foolish follicles

I didn’t get picked first -
so I waited.

There is an Institute
for Bad Art in Dedham.
They didn’t get picked first.

A coach in my youth (pre PC days)
