Ah... the glory of a restful sleep

Nothing beats the refreshing
blissful peaceful easy feeling
resulting from shut-eye after
feeling zonked out staying up
late after a hard day's night
binge reading or slaving o'er
crafting an umpteenth brilliant
masterpiece a comment from

I woke with blood in my mouth
and no memory
of the scab that sealed the rasure.

I’m cat-spitting
dog-growling
peregrine-divebombing
rooster-flogging
badger-flipping
hornet-stinging
wolverine-ripping mad.

I fired the sun for showing up late
cursed the fridge light until
yogurt soured in terror.

God called
I let it ring...

A man of few words, my father taught by example.
The best thing he showed me
was to set my standards high
and to be my own judge - 
always modest never defiant or arrogant.

When is ‘Almost Good Enough’
  never good enough?

When is ‘Clearly Not Enough’
  an ounce more than enough?

When is ‘Almost What You Need’
  the most you’ll ever have?

It’s time to clock in and start up the vacuum.
This cash collector has walked into the room.
Dropping the balances like bombs from a B52.
Improving aged receivables and contacts too.

Repairing rifts with customers withholding payment.
Making sure...

In the marrow of our bones,
politics is inscribed,
an ancient script of dominance and submission,
etched deep in the bedrock of our being.

We are actors on a stage,
where every gesture, every word,
is charged with meaning,
where power is...

and I may come off rude or...

GET’ER DONE 


I don’t like a bragging bigot,
Tall in stature, but in class, a midget

A man of faith, a fool to some
But at least a man who’ll get’er done.

I don’t like a man, who’s mouth...

Sharp as a whip, and not really drunk,
the drunken monk
has the sober monkey on his back.
A cylinder of mighty words
chained to a cylinder of craft and trickery,
behold the clever nunchucks,

From simple things to really fancy
Your mind just escapes somewhere new
Like when pigs are flying over you
With wings spread out sharing the sky
With elephants sharing the sky
An umbrella you will need
