A former friend of mine
tricked me into becoming
something I am not

The volunteer President
of our condo association,
a position I clearly cannot afford
midst trifling disassociations.

We were starting our Autumn tradition

which typically continues
until...

Take the left toe on the left foot
The second one in from the end
Between the little and middle 
Focus on its majestic quality
Though alone and forgotten in a sock
Keep it with you at all times...

Gym lights take a little while to run
Flickers, bickers with itself
Fade on
Nightly, he lays, contemplating
The escape of his talent
When did it happen
While I run my manicure on his scalp
Attempting to purge anxiety 
He always said...

In youthful exuberance I become a culture bandit
Well exposed, but never really learning.
Modernity taking a toll as Papa and Ante chased the goods

Alone at last, no one in sight
I cannot sleep, it’s late at night.
The moon shines bright, there are a million stars.
Venus is here, but make room for mars.

I wonder what’s this feeling I feel,
Is it...

In days of old when men were bold
And they didn’t use moisturiser....
They shaved with a sword, 
slapped whisky on their chin
And didn’t use aftershave in an atomiser

The scraped the dirt off with a shell, they...

From the expression of love We hate 
those things that makes us uncomfortable.
Then, feminism comes to mind at once.

Cows don’t hutch 
Pointing fingers, the norm
A person killed by his persona

My ego shadows my vision 
My fault lines… eyelided by ignorance
Ego contesting with my vision
Mission straying from vission
Literaly...

I'm not there to see
but I know I'd be grabbed
even from this distance of 3336 miles
I feel it

'Four Darks in Red'
immersive already
I know this feeling

the rose petals that fell from...

Through the gates of purple twilight under sea,
sound of sirens moving with the kelp forest silently.
