when 
the artificial 
sun 
replaced 
true Light,
revolution 
was a forgotten

the torch for anyone;

women and men 
grew to love 
their servitude,

Callum is an old-fashioned man on the verge of becoming history’s memory

Ancient even in that he holds only one job but that is for privation of another 

Sort of a whiz kid at what he...

The Heinz dog and the Silky and that Precious Papillion,
A Terrier and Chihauhau-are a few that I have known.
Not all at once, of course, but a few throughout the years,
They delegate their tails to tell-and...

Sassy the Assassinator

Sassy is a lapdog, not a large bird-dog  
She likes to chase hopping bullfrogs or a hiding hedgehog.
She is a friend to a cat, but not to a groundhog

I dubbed a first year my room mate
Upon arrival into our teacher training college

The attic is creaky and full of dust,
but, I just pretend it is my stardust;
I love playing tea party with my pets,
they sit as I recite my alphabets !

Charmed!
by my seductive mistress,
with kisses cold yet tender, I am drawn to you.

In perilous instances of contemplation
the support of survival gets blended
in shredding machines of chatter
until meaning gets lost in the background
with spinning logos taunting the mind,

polished by the hand holding the leash.

Not easy following you,
picking up the pieces
my, how you
wreck with a vengeance.

Not talking just this life,

still as mine (the choice), take heed! 
come back to me, 
'cause, I still follow,

The oak desk is a polished surface 
holding-up nothing, reflecting nothing
not even a base of anything.

perhaps just to return to scene of the crime.
Kinda sad to find nothing left as once was,
