Long Double crossing Poems

Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?

False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

Pied tidings of suburbian 
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among 
Themselves - 
Rush to steal
From off the beleaguered bird 
tables,
To the annoyance of all concerned,
A much begrudged meal;
Before scurrying away into 
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

Murk Rammer froze as he felt the nuzzle
of a snub-nosed thirty-eight’s deadly muzzle.
Louis The Retch poked it into his back.
“The jig’s up, Rammer. I ain’t cuttin’ no slack.”

Murk had been tricked by a double-crossing dame,
alias...

smiling from within the waters
compassionate
undertow
my faceless energy free from
physical form...

i make music with the universe
one verse after another...

my instrument (illuminated)
just so happens to be Caramelized Sunbows
spraying origami orchestrated laughter
like mint-chocolate confetti...

swaying so sweetly
merging with the...

Don’t pardon those demockratory quips,
them dishonest mistakes
Unless you love
walking thru a field of verbal cow chips

Beware! Aye lips very often halitosis snip

Here is a rue unpardonable exit tip:
Brown nose aroma
is blew gaslight, pig methane lit...

The stories they wrote are long gone.
Some hearts will never call to mind the rules, 
while others know nothing of their existence.

Twelve, the chosen, 
but few told the story of redemption;
they forfeited common lives for...

She glides out of the room on tiptoe,
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Sliding past sad memories that flow,
Staring, scowling eyes upon her still prey.

As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Stealthily steadfast, slipping slowly,
Staring, scowling eyes upon...

The bleached bones of man
Lie upon the lifeless sand
Times immortal sound of silence

In the deep hollow of the multitude of silent screams
Walled between the fable and songs of truth
We find ourselves in dreams that manifest
Sheltering...

This ain't your depiction of forever
Actions confined by my feelings
Far from foreboding, distemper, fear, and double crossing you know all to well
Unsettled questions wielding a sword of ignorance
Lost dreams lifting your shield protecting
Me from me
You...

You would understand, 
if you could see through my eyes,
why I have the fact 
of hate and despise.

Through the days of time,
praying to God instead of shrines.
Deep, dark secrets going through my mind
so dreadful, I...

Inspired by "Double Crossing Time" sung by Joe Bonamassa

Some think they can cheat time.
They’re crazy as can be.
For in this world it’s only time
practicing equality.

The minutes and the hours
in everybody’s day
cannot be added or subtracted.

What underhanded monkey business 
razzle-dazzle bull is this? 
Whose double-crossing, flimflam scam, 
debauchery or hocus sham 
is wheeling dealing in romance, 
putting lovers in a trance? 

Antics, capers or witch's brew, 
enchanting hymns or shaman's...

I never shoulda listened to you,
I never shoulda shook your hand too
I never shoulda believed your words,
they were just too good to be true
Promising me everything I'd ever want,
if I just take out the trash...

They came together, love entwined,
When stars in heaven were aligned.
But their love hit a hurdle,
When their vinaigrette failed to curdle,
Their blitz emulsification ill-fated,
leaving oil and vinegar separated.
They crossed their fingers together,
Looked up at the sky,...

Sounds like bile with relocation, wish to be elsewhere;
Double vision, apparition, somewhere, nowhere, there;

Concurrence, recurrence, boomerang or doppelganger;
concentration, adaptation, cliff-hanger levitation.

Mirror combinations put Alice through the looking glass
sleeping in illusions or dreams of revolution.
