Somebody saw the enemy’s fearless leader
secretly slinking away
The battle in the blood desert field of Raqqa

and tuckered psyche effaced
after becoming adequately stuffed,
this turkey (in...

Yea, it's pretty dumb this thing of ours.
They say over time it sours.
With us its been quite different.
Anytime is time well spent.
Our desperation, like a torrent, flowers.
Under which Cupid's bow is underpowered.
Even Aphrodite is turned...

past cordoned confines of heart and soul
Tumbled,  as did Alice, down the rabbit hole
Drifted, like an Autumn leaf blown from an elm
