Winnie, wild-eyed, went insane
and sang “Happy Birthday” in the rain, 
while she washed away her bloody pain.

Now all day long she sings that song,
she sings it loud, she sings it strong,
walled in where she does...

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.

Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species

I am random, I am impulsive
I speak truth you dont let slip
the first thought and look like a dick

Hello, my charming neighbor; 
How you grace me with your wit.
You’ve really got the spirit 
And I like your costume’s fit.
What’s that? No, I’ve had plenty.

God meant well
But, when he created heaven, he also created hell.
When he created Jesus, his brother, The Devil fell.
Like a jilted fly in the sacred ointment
Every day since has been his long day of atonement.

The wife stood by her husband in the garden. Her husband's hand intertwined with hers.

She looked up at the clear blue sky at a flock of exotic birds. A spring breeze danced

around her and her...

I'm looking at life in a negative night
When I should be glancing it over with a positive light
Beats me that I've not made it to the finish line
Competitive compromise (working together as a team) could...

Why are the photos you take of me unflattering?
The truth is there, I look like that
But is it your lens - absolute evidence of what you see...

I've come to say a few things about our political involvement,
Important is this because our future is on the edge of  precipice,
And is dangerously tilting irreversibly towards enslavement,
If urgently not arrested we pay the...

As a hypothetical argument

...They sent a copy of an old tin-type,

He searched the kingdom for a fortnight 'til all saddle sore and weary,
With his eyes bloodshot and bleary,
The prince arrived at the last door.

You're my best friend brother, a grown man and all. My dreams are so short but you make me them tall. Misdeem (misjudged) by the world, an x-ray to your visual mind. You understand my...

Apparitions of buried memories exhumed with rash eulogies
Arouse dried up tears that ever fail to cleanse the robe of guilt
Arraigning again before the partial jury of tormenting thoughts

Kaleidoscopic filial relationships hypnotize the mind to dumbness

Even in expensive suit
a monster cannot be glamorous.
A young lady full of life and purpose
is blind to the script she had never read.
She's charmed by his scent, sense of adventure and boldness
but to fall victim...

Mistreated and misjudged,
'Cause no one understood.
No one really cared for her,
And no one ever would.

Life was getting boring,
And nothing worth the while.
But going down like this,
Was certainly not her style.

With her ego flying through the...

Is it manipulation or delusion
when you don't believe what I say
Do you want control of situations
because it's easiest your way

Only a weirdo would do that
it's so very strange
I ain't seen you for years 
but you...

it’s the mistakes,
the ****ups, the things that
“go wrong,” which make
up the spice of life, which
illustrate the memories that
divide the passive livers from the
doers who find themselves
fond of the life they’ve lived in
retrospect---
