I adopt dainty etiquette
when quenching thirst or dining
to buzzfeed growling beast
inside me tummy.

The missus requests obedience
raising both my little fingers in the air
upon taking beverage or repast to lips.

Additionally, she also requires I

Once upon a time her cat dissolves in my arms 

one night while she was at work
and once upon a time
because what i did that night 
will never happen again
i promise, i promise

Allamanda in April slowly open its trumpets around posts that look like 
Buttercups of honey for bees to dive in to replenish their striped bellies

considered unsolvable and painfully stressful
she spoke of her togetherness with the man

the impacts of togetherness limits the field.
it discredits others who might seem more worthy

I put you on a stand; some say it is a pedestal.

I appear before you; I am in awe of the work before me.

Sometimes life is but a flat tire; air is such a revitalizer!

Love, a curse or a boon
a query that has grown
there exist a lucky few
who hath tasted this feeling true

Young love likens a rosebud

Man’s intrinsic apathy's negligence-justified frown
Is the actual defining substance of a mortal clown;
Who with hollowed prejudgments fellow men slays,
And likens to hallowed duty his thoughtless decays.

Light, bright, fair 
Long, soft hair
A spectacle beyond compare
Small, narrow, pointy nose
Soaps and scrubs
And cheap lightening creams get smeared and lathered 
Lasers, needles, pills

A global phenomenon 
A billion...

Sometimes I want to go out at night
But this household hugs me tight
Sometimes my mind likens to greater men

Standing tall, its...
