referencing overactive spousal glute
though sphincter roaring
could muscle us into ample loot

That is how he learned his lessons

Like black dense cloud in the sky
Neither rain nor gain only fly(v).

Let me address the subject once more
Select more carefully the words I spew
Breakdown
Analyze

Allowing, enabling, and proffering...

Dear mama...
Can you hear me?
It's me, your child.
Don't ignore my silent voice.
I know it appears as a logical thing to do.
A typical trend for most.
But emancipate yourself from those cloudy thoughts...
Let them flee, let them...

There was a girl, her name was Ann,
She was a crazy soccer fan.
To her all players were the same
Until one team would lose the game.
For losers Annie kept her cheers,
For them she cried her biggest...

Slinger
Waiting on the day
for the Swallow to transmute the air
between this ether and yours 
patterned after an annual bedsheet 
and full of a chest
swelling with blood
and a face 
as forgotten as chests 
buried beneath sea...

The kid who could do it all 
Who would have thought he would grow up and...

I was thinking
It would be different
Seems familiarity breeds contrition.
All I get from you is competition;
You used to listen, now you are always contrite;
At all cost, you wanted to be right,
While I wanted to be effective.

Mysterious me
I'm mysterious, secretive,evasive 
No friends, very little family
A Nomad traveling from city to city
State to state, country to country
No ties or obligations 
I am free in my own mind.
I posses the inability to fear.
So...

Mr. Frost was right.

It felt good that night, 
laying on our backs 
at the end of the dock 
looking at the stars.

Winters Gone


Waves crash down upon the beach,
I envision a life that is just out of reach.
Waves come in on the drifting sands,
I drift to a dream of a far off land.
As the waves recede to...

	Grifters ... 
parasites of polite society
Practitioners of the long and short con,
two-armed trust bandits
prying open the window of retiring dreams
They tell some real tasty good bedtime stories,
	caramel-coated candy apple lies
dipped in dark chocolate thievery
Saying: grab...

Vacuum ,dust and sweeping the floors,
Washing the sheets, making the beds,
Do the ironing and other chores

Leaning against the laundry wall,
Just waiting...

Because my tears have been unfamiliar for way too long,

I no longer want to suppress my tears,

The moon cast eerie shadows on that dark October night
We went out trick and treating and looked a scary sight
Our costumes were so creepy, we were dressed as ghosts and ghouls
We carried turnip lanterns we’d...
