Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead

I objestigate between arabesques and sleep,
fugaciously spasmodic in fluxes and leaps.
I'm indifferent to the misanthropic mocking,
that welltering inflection that I call plockingism.
It's their cheeky syncopated schisms that I rebut,
and yet they slantathunt for the right...

Every single creature,
From the moment of its birth,
Has a reason for existence
On our humble planet earth.

Squirrels satiate the hawks.
Fishes feed flamingos;
Ducks make music with their squawks.

Crickets chirp a chorus;
Cows and chickens...

Tonight we change the clocks, which means
Tomorrow when I wake,
The world will look transparent
And will not appear opaque.

A landsman here in Tennessee
Who shares my background and my ways
And celebrates my holidays.

Botched to retrospect the apathy of the world.

I don’t have many close friends
Why is that?
Do I choose too carefully?
Am I afraid of lowering defenses?
Do I enjoy being alone too much?
Why doesn’t it bother me more?
I feel like a pessimist
With nothing to kvetch...
