as they to’d and thro’d past him down the aisle, 
like Fembots, bullets pointing all in...

"I'll be your Joker"


Still a registered voter
Signed up to be an organ donor

I hear professors prattling,
I hear the reporters berate,
I see tech fascists side with China,

I will not go away completely
When it’s my time and curtain call
Continue, ever-so-discreetly
Like someone’s writing on the wall

I get to linger in emails

All those stories, chats and tales
Addressed to...

Classic beauties with stories told

Some with Rumble seats in tow

Antiques from late 20's and 30's
Shined right up and...

    I am the spinning basketball.
    
    I am the wheel of a roadster.

Life is a quest fascinating and sweet,
It's a book with many empty sheets. 
At times you may ride the roller coaster,
Or you may feel you are riding a roadster.
Ups and downs, highs and lows,
