Vocabulist nonalcoholic punchdrunk stupor January 1st, 2020
Unlike the vast population swath,
with painful hangover
average celebrant merely
doth confusedly blink,
who devoutly pledge
new year resolution
to give up drink
immediately fall off wagon
as he/she eagerly downs
shot after fermented shot
while forearms link

Like a gawky adolescent,
Added hast thou to thy old height,
I bow to thy quickest ascent.

In the abode of hoary snow,
At fifty million years...

A Cowboy is lean, tall, muscled and an inarticulate mass
Of loyalty, independence, pride and downright Western class

The Inward
The maze is
Inside.
Navigation here is like trying
To take a dump
After having too much
White rice.

You find braces
A gawky smile,
Tightened pants,
A cisgender boy
Pinning...

He Saw the Woman--Anima

He felt her warmth but could not feel her pain.

Let the Dead Bury Their Own
As my weary eyes give in
I become entranced.
A day completed now
and so I give it back a glance.

I'll break this all apart.

Garage doors opened with a clatter
Snowbirds unloading winter stuff
Frightened, she left the...
