And a lot of boats
With rudders that are shattered,
Compasses lost, sails that are torn.
And dreams that are faded or tattered

Modus Operandi of Psychopaths and Sociopaths
Modus Operandi of psychopaths and sociopaths
They are all around us, seeking to destroy us,
if not to kill us, to maim us, for life

Some people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones
Causing moans and groans
When they hear heckling whispers and snickers
Women used to call knickers 'underpants'
They'd get them twisted with tauntings...

except intolerance,
most certainly including impatience with myself,
not excluding...

The Monroe Moon
In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
