Long Nearsighted Poems

To share my evening stroll with me, 
As I walk down this gravel road
That takes off just outside of town.
Two pheasants flush from bar ditch pools
(The grassy soup...

I took him in and built a metal shed
for this dragonling to lay his head;

To celebrate his new glasses,
home a nearsighted dragon, did fly.
the doctor had truly, helped his sight.
A party he’d throw, full of savories; 
on many delicacies, his friends would feed.
All night they’d party, till morning’s light.

3:33 am and my eyes feel the same open as they do closed

(I wonder if this is how she felt?)

Front teeth smother

Saw a deer on Taxter Road leading a fawn.

Waited for the train, too pumped for fatigue.

The train passed by lakes of...

"I can’t find the words I want to say! “

As I speak to you in tongue, this stale...

I was out in this world 
amidst the nearsighted

underneath the pot, burnt,
yes I'm scorched but not sweating,
because I'm furious, so hurt!

Horrid, nagging insults
though they break before my skin,

fire on oil's brim.

This Intention for contention is our invention
A fleet of reckless daggers flow...
