bolder than merely angry with each other, and ourselves,
but how much more

Spring starts the year with soft flowers
Sometimes brought with gentle showers
Air fragrant with scents that devours

Little piggies in a hurry,
gotta run and catch that muddy dollar
As me rat race cheese-off,
peddling asphalt fumes of a 401k Harley

Detailing mouthwatering
Thoughts, lovely pies
Capturing the silent joy
Twinkling in the eyes
Of those mouthwatering
Desserts who...

She is ruthless and demeaning and so unkind.
Telling no-one of my prearranged scheme today,
No-one that can discuss this deed in anyway,

from Earth a meld of galaxies has spread
its multi-arms wide open ‘midst the star
