My guitar like an old friend

we all have our ups and downs
enjoyed in lesser detail on the upswing
and greater granularity on the corresponding

the trick is to not obsess and get conned
into the notion of a...

luckily for our ambiguous plot structure
and the stern requirements of partisan doggerel
the ringing coin toss bounced then came up tails
and fortune directed that the box be opened

Must we fault 'rush to judgments,' when they're not ideal?
If my poetry fails you,...

 The enemies stance to destroy by being in agreement,

and he didn’t know how to smile.

He always looked sad,
or as if he were mad,

There once lived a woman made of Jell-O. She jiggled and wiggled 
as she walked.  Invisible to most she was as clear as a window pane.

Speaking perfectly clear,
let’s be Frank:
Put the Zappa down — 
Don’t even remotely think
about changing the subject
Swapping, swabbing another

Giving you...

With flowing red hair and skin like pearl.
Her eyes, baby blue, with a freckled nose,

He studies the dinner card,
ticks off the boxes for Jell-O
and fruit cups; anticipates a deliciousness
that he will later swallow mechanically
on a plastic spoon.

Your vicious tirade smacks me most cruel

Jiggling as easy as green Jell-O,
Wiggling in front of a hardy fellow,

With my morning toast

Sucking on a lemon

Squeezing green Jell-O
Between my fingertips

Eating a banana
In the places I like...
