There are canyons in his face.
His lungs are gone and it won't be long,

but welcome to the monkey house
at 2 highland manor drive,
where all manner of imbeciles go berserk.

All of the pain that you hold,

ABOUT A LETTER 

I was cleaning and re-arranging my
Precious book-shelves,
A lot came down, a lot went back after dusting
Off, much of such
Dust, but one blue heavy book caught my attention,

Let’s begin with
A strong fresh
Brewed Greek coffee
The aroma alone,
Will wake up 
Your senses, 
Allow you to

An open mind to delight
And excite 
You, relax your taste buds.
About to travel,
Don’t put up fences,
