I'm a speech punk; kind of a menace
Not sure if the word is permissible in these parts

Every Christmas season
the carolers delight
by singing Christmas songs
at the beginning of night

Joyful and fun to each house they go
folks would sing along as the happiness echos
cheers and treats household shared
for the carolers were beloved dear.

I'm listening to soft music through earplugs,
the strong stimuli of relaxation enter lungs... 
they stifle the external sounds 
and deepen my consciousness.

The invariant analogy
between time and clock has a steady
rhythm and ticks enough to frighten...

The concert Band 
A work of reeds, air, and hands 
Reading sheet music isn’t easy
And our uniforms are anti-sleazy
All instruments must be in tune and time
Otherwise we sound like a broken chime

The flutes sound sweet...

But following extensive research, something that I do,
I can completely reassure you, these annoyances are fact,

A bandaged broken heart heaps more agony upon emotions and hurt feelings
carelessly tossed away in a wastebasket of ignorance and ill willed 
stubborness...

A kiss upon lips clammy cold and with a heart carved as out...

“Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop…”

Matthew 13:8a NIV

ROTTEN

friendship at all, when a pitbull turns
and attacks their own with insouciance.

You thought you were on the same...

There are women who feel a strong need
To nag men until their ears bleed
In a war of attrition
With relentless petition
Is a cruel way to make men concede

Men wish for a life of peace 
But get...

Mells' Bells.

Not far from a little town in Somerset called Wells
there's a quiet little village, that's name is Mells
the wild garlic grows in abundance there, and stridently smells
But the peace is shattered each Sunday by...

Voices facing headwinds feel the calming seas
Elephants grasping backdraft tails are letting
go and hearing the rumble of discontent.

The runaway (with your $$$) train called washing-
ton with earplugs jammed so tight hairpieces
jiggle with every falsehood.

lessons in a half-hour program. Today there...

Slandered wavelengths
from an old worn out speaker
cracking with each unbalanced bass note
Finding my brain on overload
and a slower heart beat
out of tune 

Static becomes the union,
tuning dial gone, volume at high
glowing in the corner of...

In a hot seat among the hard of hearing
Harrowing tales from the trenches
At the deep end of a ravenous beast
A narrowing outlook, hope fading
Shape shifting fiends on the cliffs of...

cold sounded cute
when it all began

as the temperature dropped
suddenly water torture
the nasal sink
dripping, nonstop

a box of tissues
not nearly enough
wads of tp
paper towels
free falling

snores rocking
out
husband flees
to guest room...
