Is This As Good As It Gets
sometimes i wonder
if i’m sinking to a new low
i see you gone to faraway lands
somewhere in your head
and until you remember to fly home to me
i can’t help but feel it’s nothing but illusion
that i see or hear you at all
meanwhile rotting fruit spoil the basket
and i wonder if this year’s crop will go

Heart and Soul Miscommunication
Does the soul know how hard my heart is suffering?
I wonder because 2020 is the year for them to misread each other
if there was ever a year for a miscommunication, this is it.
Sadness and grief in the form of death
When you believe in the soul?
How can you believe in death?
The soul nurtures the heart

Never Never Never Never Never
I always think people are nice
until they aren’t.
Most are nicer in person than on the phone.
Real meanness comes out in texts or other writing.
If you have a problem with someone
go see them
If there is a pandemic
pick up the phone
If you have an I-phone
face time them
If you do not at least speak to them on

If you strive to miscommunicate
If you adore confrontation
If you want hatred to call you out

Miscommunication
Ever wonder if someone
You're talking to is actively
Paying attention, or simply
Watching your lips move?
Imagine attempting to put things
In perspective for someone impervious
To common sense? Words go into
The right ear and out of the left!
You feel like you've wasted
Your breath. So how do you
Make sure you're being perfectly
Understood word for

Big Hand Little Hand Long Hand Short Hand
When I was little I thought the older a person was, the more brain cells you grew.
Thus, older people are smarter than little people.
That thought was long gone by the time I was four or five.
At eight I was so confused by big hand and little hand on the clock, I thought I would

7 Ages of Understanding Parody - Unraveling Miscommunication
Unraveling miscommunication
Is not always sought out, but rather wise.
The key to understanding is simple.
Just listen closely to these next few steps;
First step is to humble yourself right then,
Like a lowly slave, sinking to his knees.
Every bit of confidence vanishing,
Like myself before a presentation.
Sharpen your ability to listen.
Your opponent will give up otherwise.
Questions such as “how?”

Miscommunication
I went to the hospital
on Friday night,
I walked into the room
it was quite the sight.
I saw my nephew standing there
with a huge smile on his face,
I walked over to him
held him in a long embrace.
I had all sorts of questions
the baby's full name, how much he weighed,
the baby wasn't born premature
born a week early, my

Gabby Gertie garbles news.
Lusty Lester likes his booze.
Twixt the two, tall tales are told.
Seven salacious stories sold.
Tearful Tillie hides her face.
Loathsome lies lead to disgrace.
