That Squeeze Box
The Friday that is here today
was here yesterday, of course.
That's what getting older seems to be, to do:
today was yesterday
was the day before
and before.
It's my weekly washday today -
weekly, but was here yesterday,
or so it appears.
Always appears to be.
Yes, so it seems,
and seems.
Time is a concertina.
Friday was a week from Friday,
then three or four days
before

Mental State
Mental state
Stained fingertips
Gold tobacco and poisons sips
But whatever helps me sleep right?
Maybe I’m to blind to see for proper sight
So, I top up, ready for war and another lonely night
Why fight these things done daily, when you are

Was It Love, Or a Mental State of Mind
You love me but, you show no compassion. You deprive me from the world of epicy.
Sweetest Taboo that's what it was
when we first met.
Sweet embrace,
you brought a smile to my face.
And then you begin to scorn me.
You aggravate me to the point,
I want to leave, but the house and kids is keeping your

Inadequate Sleep Exspells Volatile Mental State
Inadequate sleep ex(spells) volatile mental state
Existential crisis ensued,
hence the following
I attempt to relate
forewarning the missus,
who heard bellicose me loud and clear
excoriate, deprecate, communicate
callously, blisteringly, angrily... expostulate
refrain awakening this sleeping spouse
yours truly unapologetically will berate
forgetting self promise
vowing never to castigate,
yet flush with red hot poker rage

ranting and raving
seething venomous, obstreperous,
iniquitous,

Nations Mental State
Can a nation be mentally ill
A thirst to kill
At war throughout its history
Dodge City the story
A long time love affair with guns
A Walter Mitty who's overcome
A deep distrust for those not like me
Its their blackness he can see
Easily lead astray with promises of wealth
No remorse for death by stealth
Rabid drug use across

Corruption of the Mental State
In the corruption of the mental state,
Everyone's body is packed in a crate.
Torn to pieces and thrown away,
No, this is part of everyday.
Shadows creeping closer,
Your eyes getting moister.
Don't try to cry,
You'll all eventually DIE.
In the corruption of my mind,
You all think I'm very kind.
It's a mistake
