Dedicated ti my dog Einstein:
If I could spread as much love as my dog does daily,
it would be the biggest achievement in life!
My dog is overflowing with unconditional love,
bringing smiles to everyone everywhere!
He is very smart and always teaching lessons
This lesson is the most important one
- and it is what the world needs nost -

Dilated pupil captures a partner with her submission
Above sadness, eyes sea sunk in upset unquenchable
Desperation lodged in lagoon swims to 2021 surface
Air refilling deflated lungs floats a Goldi locked trophy
Drawn from decaying pages of housewife magazines
Overtly womanly hip to waist ratio cinched on display
Empathy white tidal wave, compassion washes angst
Surrogate heart fed off rise fall arousal bursts buttons
Nostalgia learns Stu's language, sucking word marrow
Omens of history trip a mirrored future, path predicted
Sorrow entangled sheet furrows, wrath burrowed deep
Trauma not lost thru lustful aggressor swamp syphon
Welcome fragrant frail pale spurs a sturdy demeanour
Enveloped open emotions compel his chest responds
Lechery leaves detail aside, abides with blind present
Longing to cast away loneliness, romance sails rough

VENTRILOQUIST POETRY
Ventriloquists can drink gottles of geer
Gut their skeech is odd to our ear:
They can’t say Keter Kiker kicked
A keck of kickled kekkers - they’re tricked
Cos they can’t say gee or kee
And nost often not ewen en or wee.
Healthoquists - lots of fruit they eat:
Akkles, gananas, kineakkles, or kears as a treat
And wegetagles, like kotatoes, keas, kaggages, and geans.
All kinds of geautiful greens.
Religioquists reskect the Koke very nuch
And of course all the gishoks and kriests and such,
And they often read their Gigle
Or any Good Gook awailagle
Koliticoquists kossigly geliewe in reading the Constitution often enough
Gut krogagly not its Kreangle - too tough:
It’s well-known in Philadelphia, Galtinore, and Goston, say;
Gut not in the area of San Francisco Gay
