Anticipation of Reality

So cramped ...
Strain to move,
Flex and budge in tiny increments ...
That's the limit.
Constantly testing, trying,
Pushing, pressing ...
Constrict, exert, constrict, struggle,
Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

The Watcher

when she gets home
after working a ten hour shift
he is sitting in a chair in the living room waiting for her---
on one hand he wears a white glove
it is still clean,
and he smiles at her,

Noah Flood

My strange tears.
The genie's eyes, oh genie's eyes.
Gather the sun's spears.
Be careful not to step on the thistles of fear.
Plaits are used to create the form.
To achieve a slimmer epitome.
You and I are friends.
Envy is...

Cancerphobia

fear makes it all so real,
the people round us dropping like
flies, with no age spared & no
combination of genes, environment
or upbringing, determined to be
perfect, so as to locate its reason or
motive---for it creeps in, seemingly
indiscriminately...

Who Let the Dogs Out

He went the way of a sickly pigeon,
and dropped his nasty load on religion.
The evil ones hailed him,
power they availed him,
which increased his vanity a smidgeon .

He declared himself the messiah,
From the depths of earthen...

Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars

Arousing warm affection
They stand in groups discrete
Looking in the same direction

A bestowal to the world art thou
Miracle of God's construction
Four stomachs in mass production

O Curse of a Century

O curse of a century

O Calamity of a century,
Enough thieving of precious human life,
Keen we’re to see thy date of expiry.

As plague ye came, hoary thy history,
Unleashing a terror of gravest strife,
O thou curse of...

Past Follows

funny how the past follows
just when you thought you got rid of
it,
funny how it rears its ugly head &
wants a piece of the new you to 
remember being
less---
funny how the past taps one on the
shoulder,

The Noise

It was the quietest of hums deep pitched
that appeared to be surrounding me.
It did not have the sizzle of electricity
and was not a light or the fridge.

Hunting high and low trying to make sense

When Long Johns Get Religion

When long johns get religion
And you’re fallin’ out the door—
And bowels just move a smidgeon
When they need to move much more—

Then ol’ north winds come knockin’
And it’s then that you sure know—
If relief don’t come...

Some Other That

I am in this place
and you are in that.
I suspect you are in a different place,
one I have yet to recall, or visit.

Same goes for my dog, but now and again

Creatures All Over Her House

I walked up to the door and stopped surprised.
There were three creatures there before my eyes.
A handsome dog, a fluffy cat, and a most casual deer.
None of them moved or had a smidgeon of fear.

Writing's a Drag

The Drag of Writing

A smidgeon of silly,
a scintilla of sad,
a wee gong of rhyming wit,

a sentence to start me
a participle dangling
a lead to bring me to it,

a last ditch lurch to my
personal God, who says...

A Smidgeon Too Much Rum

shhhh...please don't tell Jan I tattled on her.

Did you hear 'bout Jan's custard a-la-plum
While making it she drank far too much rum
while on her wobbly legs
put mustard in the eggs
It was wretched and tasted like...

Whistling While You Work

believe it or not
a constant tune being whistled

at any job &
it can bring a smidgeon of satisfaction to the worker

Certain Days

Certain days feel much longer than long
With too much in the world that is wrong
But I don’t have a clue
If there’s more we can do
Than just suck it all up and be strong.
