With architects.  He made
Airline and hotel reservations.
 Soon Afterwards he went 
To Molly and caressed her away from
From a sweet dream. "Hey, baby girl."

Evil is incremental
One bullet after another
And after another
And after another
Until there’s a blister
On my trigger finger
Where there used to be a wet print
Of a little kiss
Transplanted to my little girl’s cheek
Before I left for work
This...

A violent scene lay before me
Huddled in death, there’s Ella, Mary-belle, everywhere I could see
Swollen tongues, sunken eyes, frail bodies strewn in the hot powdery dirt,
I sniff the sharp stench of death, I catch my...

Want it?
Charge it!!
Can't afford it?
Charge it!!
Plastic startin'
to wear a bit thin?

While I’m eating my cold treat.
I found a nice spot in the shade.
At a bus...

I stood and watched them
One by one by one
Working ever so lovingly
Until all the work was done
There were parents and adults
Kids of all ages too
All this was for
In memory of you-know-who
They were washing headstones
Using shaving...

Like a drop of the rainbow 
A mother arches herself over her stricken child,
A man arches himself over his prostrate wife, 
And a stranger arches himself over another.

Rainbows in a hailstorm, they all are,
Bringing out...

I've hugged the cold rock and walked with rubber legs.

Been planted like a flower, watching the bees do their thing.

The Ozian Wizards dual with silver words and pencil sized swords.

For a few dead presidents you...

Clumsy Cat was terrified of wheels
Being around them reminded her of heels
She would rather be chased by brooms or eels
Both had crushed some of her favorite kibble meals

What about wheelbarrows? Another cat said.

Waking up in the morning,
I saw the sun angry with me.
Leaves bent low to slap me
Cows that ate little mooed,
asking me for more that day
In wheelbarrows wind placed
rubbish heap in the courtyard;
And the phone rang...
