torn legally tendered greenbacks, 
where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted 
mine...

Hypothetically, what if I (a born again atheist)...
tentatively took page from playbook of devout believers...

Politesse pleases me...
thank you very much
for letting me clutch
your attention courtesy
sharing following thoughts
thru reading my poem analogous 
to invisible electronic,

truculent nasty shortish brutes
who thrive...

Brenda Chim Chim Cherie;
Chimney happy as can be.

While my many poems I am compiling, 
What you should be doing is smiling; 
Mind with load,

A tiny, yet rattling, distinct sound, 

impinges a young mother's weary body.
Joyously awakened, she follows her heart,

slipping in your blood stream
unperceived as you, crusading, 
ride the clouds and seas
exposing unseen cavities 
within the noble paragraphs our children read,
or did upon the times of innocence.
