Silly ants? 
No. Silly humans and maybe silly ants.

We live in a world where there is hope to sell as many people on...

Have You Tried My Slushie?             By 
Briar Rabbit
 
 
 
I don’t know if it brings the boys to the 
yard
I’d want some time to myself

Travel once on a haunted train,
a taste may make you lose your mind;
Railroad tracks leave the world behind 
dismantled boxcars keep rolling;
Phantom mouths continue screaming,
they show you tickets that were signed;
Pure horror here is well...

I'm feeling good, so I think I'll kick some multi syllable rhymes,
It's a known factor that I flow in undefinable time,
Because I'm killing it, I'm at an undeniable height,
and if you don't like it then...

Promising never to leave the sight of a smile, realizing a lie is possible.

Zits!

Pus problems ... oozing wipe love,
has got them innocent bite fangs showing
That baby drac queen moon face turning
into a teenage mutant turtledove

Cold cream cyber hits

Another three-day seclusion ... 
chained to a marred model illusion
Hip adolescent...

Growing up, I've learned from both my abuelas experiences 
that you should never let a man define you

Technological Breakdown.
.
Has Hi-tech technology
Now gone too far 
That we seem lost without
In this hedonistic instant gratification
Obsessed  days

Or were we better without it yesterday
When life was simpler and less complicated
In so many different ways

Life is a playground, the fun never ends.
Not a care in the world, just run around with your friends.
Doodling on the walls
Playing house with your dolls.
Chasing boys around with cooties
But only those you think are...

MOVE ON

Pick at it and open the wound
Poor on the salt with a big spoon

Stirring the heart more angrily
The history we had is long since gone
I made mistakes and...

When the darkness is so deep it’s like trying to look through silk

Did you know....
about the look in my eyes?
The ongoing fatigue....
The fact that I sleep more....
the fact that I distance myself....
away from you?

Don't you see,
what you've done to me?
You've taken a loving man,
and you've destroyed his...

I
Cattle Egrets have lifted my Spirits
Here in Ft. Beaufort, dirty, not dirt
BY choice, folk in small spaces
Hide from Civilization, national mandates
On Environmental Courtesies and Policies
But these birds survive and thrive
While feces flow from poor piping...

seemingly upset but overjoyed with a new sense of accomplishment

Over me
Over you
Over anyone within a ten block radius

An orchestrated string of events being pulled in by...

I feel misplaced... 
secured inside the gates of the Law. 
Trying to justify my faults. 
Wishing desperately to be cut from my confine. 
Night falls... 
"Light's Out"
The ward cozenages the blocks...
Pulling the cells shut...
It slams...

My overthinking mind means I need to express the first verse is just metaphor

The poems that I write
I hope will heal like wounds
Scratching out the hurt
And letting the air get to it
Watch it scab over

Why'd I have to go off and love you
