Come post presidential election 2024...

gender, creed, et cetera with impunity dissed
brigand able, eager, ready and willing
to punch contenders throwing...

"......unknown destination
don't know if I'm livin or dying
a journey to nowhere
Never cut never mowed
And as I wander

Unknown destination
Wholly unexpected place
How did I get here
Where am I heaven

The wind blew thoughts of you to me today
I felt the day you went away.
The last breath in your lungs
After your final injection of bliss
The disease…your catalyst to an eternal cyst
Quietly suffocating you from the...

A cupola shin, prickly dick creed, hoary 
 testes tossed, master baiting ova all eel trades
crossed the fecund Rubicon and ejaculated 
   olly olly oxen yawping, in utero seminal raids
with phallic coup d’etat...

In prison, and bereft of all defence,
But my Healer, graver than ever ere, 
Swirls his chair round, yon of window to stare 
As if to get inspired from Providence. 
More of a dumb than mute,...

What else but weight endless for devil’s due? 
And I’d need a few more tests to be sure, 
Grimace or grin, but I ought to endure, 
What greater devil was seemed like dawn’s dew:

In a match they could dial in by phone 
A villain came into their midst 
Trying to cure themselves from the bottom half EPL cyst 
Noted as the visiting team...

As I am shielded 
By his gore
And crafted like Daniel
In the lions den
And Jonah in the whales gut

I must scurry to...

Consultation Room


Our organs we disdain
Until we have some pain
Then begin to learn
Let organs respect earn!

There’s this red “bean”
Fond of giving a spleen
Pith can suffer “cones”
They call kidney stones.

Maligned cirrhotic livers
Afflict with painful fevers
You may relish...

I see them everywhere I go,
Folks who just do not seem to know,
What life is really all about,
They just go on their prescribed route.

Life to these indecisive sloth's,

Ice Sleep Quickly...

Slowly counting backwards from one hundred
if restless, yet most every night/early morning,
when tiredness defeats ability to remain alert
though rarely these days no difficulty to dream
way before mentally mouthing the number zero,

You came to me with threats
Claimed I toyed with your heart
Claimed I couldn’t love
Claimed I screwed you from the start
Claimed that I reject you, 
when you rejected me
Claimed that I had been so blind
And claimed...

"I Guess Mama warned that there'd be days like this,"
but what she had failed to mention was,
Its really just some deep abyss.
Swirling,
Black,
Devoid of any bliss.
Just a Cyst,
Never letting you forget,
Everything that you have missed.

Dusty


He meets with elusive witches
Spanning deep gullies and ditches
Cracked faces to suture stitches-

The whimpering teething child
With body seething hot and wild
Soon he sleeps with pain mild.

With ease he digs out sore tooth
That fouls the wretch’s...
