May
There are towel-drying winds. parks grow soggy with small dogs. May is an old man riding a bike backwards. It is oil for the broken engine in the barn. Wetness folds this way and that the sky unzips a larkish sunshine. We hear nestlings in their reservoirs of dew. New life bubbles in puddles, the green and tufted arrive out of nowhere, boys' fish...

2024 May first
Wed, 2024.05.01 By May, three months went passed, We enjoyed three day trips to the nature. We respected and polite to each other. Somehow I started having feelings for you. I knew from the beginning, Our relationship could not go beyond than this. But my brain could not control my heart, So it started to contemplate some ideas, By not using the facilities at...

Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 31 May, 1970
B-52: a city on its own. You mess with us, we’ve got technology. I loved it when we flew into the zone: as Ernie said, “We’ll kill ’em till they’re free.” My job? To watch the black cascade of death and myriad explosions in the woods: Louisiana lilt – “You hold your breath,” that’s Ernie’s voice – “delivering the goods!” The pretty...

A fence and an unforgettable memory
2024.5.26 Sunday, My house was broke in. The next day, you messaged me "Good morning". Two hours later, I explained about the robbery. "Invaded?? i went past and saw The police van this morning. I was a bit worried that Something might have happened." From that day, every evening, You came to my place and stay till quite late. You made sure I was protected, Until...

Dandelions Of May
I saw the bending stems of lively green— Where stalked a little sun of yellow bright. Should love be like a flow’r, a sweet nineteen, And May, a month so dry and passing rites. Of fondest dearing names I say and tell, Adoring in ways never thought I’d say. Alas a wind of chill and heat did fell, A sign for...

Don't Take Life Too Serious
Stand up, Won’t lay down 'til I stack up. Fed up with the brokenness A liq just gonna tease me Focus, Pull up in a Lotus. Fly on essential, Throw up like bulimic With you she a padlock, With me she a secret. Convenient, Don’t take life too serious. Articulate, Went and took one She missed on her period. For my dogs, I’m ruthless, Like John Wick, I...

Sexually explicit meme more real day originally written May 31st, 202_ humorously, posthumously, and tempestuously expressing woes from the top of my talking head to gnarly nails of (this little piggy fame) toes in sore need and want of a podiatrist I suppose, which keratin structures at the end of plates of meaty ten digits topping off little feet dextrous enough...
