Utter brainless nincompoop
in this poem heretofore addressing
I wanna be forever free
and clear from mortal anguish,

I need a miracle worker after confessing
behavior causing depressing
wretched state of mind
self incriminating admission expressing

Dark, twisted stiletto,
Crouched and feral at the end of my bed.

Show him on up, a girl has to eat.

Hello again sir,...

Café Watch


Sitting in a café, watching life pass by.
People rushing into shops; important stuff to buy.
Groups of foreign workers, stopping, shaking hands;
Local people bustling by – can’t interrupt their plans.

Outside, a lonely busker tries hard...

I don't want to spread bad news,
So I can't say who told me,

Her actions tell her story,
But you...

"If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the men to gather wood,
divide the work,
and give orders."

"Instead,

The Knight was knit on a knockout night. 
A batch of bare bears within blissful sight. 
Right rowed rode on rigorous royal insight. 
Whither or wither, writ warned of a worn write.

THOSE WHO CLAP IN OPPOSITION
AND APPLAUD THOSE I DESPISE
THEY PARTNERSHIP AND AGREEMENT
THEIR CLEVER AND DANKY DESQUISE
MINDFUL OF A FUTURE
CONTRASTING AND ENGAGING THINGS

THEY SPEAK IN SEEMING CAUSE
THEY WISHED THAT...
