and a black briefcase broaching black motives,
Portland to Seattle, prison or criminal pantheon, 
before...

suppressed,
repressed,
right-brain negatively depressed?

competitively left-brain impressive,
first through last impression 
newsworthy,
enticingly marketable,
profitably commercial,
slickly corporate,
predatively intelligent

Because of my environmental circumstances?
as liberal lovers
would have failing...

Some dreams are so real. 
Once was a life

cocoa powder puffs
for velvet truffle cheeks...
chocolate blush

sunny yolk says hi
butter gives an oozing hug--
bitter choc just melts

mmm, good, just so good

hot weather melts bittersweet--
oh! just lick them off

twas the morning of Christmas,
when I spied a mouse,
on Christmas Eve,
he had the run,
of our house,
the stockings we'd hung,
by the chimney with care,
suspiciously were, 
no longer there,


the children all jumping, 
on their warm beds,
were screaming...
