a faded unpleasant memory - even enlisting
decades old cartoon characters: 
Natasha squirrel and Bullwinkle moose
flow of electrons...

Jam roly poly, treacle sponge
And sticky toffee pudding head the top of my list
But apple pie, rhubarb crumble
Or a decent cheesecake are hard to resist

Banana splits, eclairs or brownies

One would always be surprised,...

those colours so all a'glitter~
I've found time is mine all away...

'Tis plentiful then this...

 Continued from Part 1 

The Beggars ’neath the balustrades,
and broken Children, Chambermaids,
are running wild from wraiths, afraid
	of dreams where death redoubles.
They fritter time with tattered threads
(from ragged clothes they’ve left in shreds),
crocheting hoods to...

A citizen of all Nations
The UN calls me complex social, cultural and economic phenomenon
Nevertheless, I do not mind
Countries of the world detest me publicly
However, they romance me secretly
So I relocated to Africa

Time and Reality

 
To snatch the worlds of what you once were
Cannot be held in the palm of your hand
Friends dead and gone, you’ll wish to reconnect
They’ll not--the past gone--the loss of that land.
 
What were you...

how best to  use  those golden float seconds,
moments, hours, we as mortal creatures

Plump Trump Eating

Became upset because he had been bitter,
And pain pure,

Devil, desert
Thirst an' no dessert.

God made the Sky
