Verbicide is sometimes committed in my works
Those works could be perdures forever
Aborted babs
Untimely deaths
Homicide with our tax dollars is that righteous
A child that never gets a chance at life
I am not a savant but this is wrong
Will we as a nation get our comeuppance
What? eternal life~ heaven?
What? eternal life~hell?
I hope heaven
I hope not hell

J-okes won't be over,
U-sing their sense of humor;
L-aughter is the best cure,
E-xtreme pleasure people
S-avor.
A-ugust sixteenth early morn,
N-ice jokes jell in gladness;
D-elight denies the frown,
R-apture remains
E-ndless.
E-xciting jokes of life
S-end a mirthful message;
C-omplete cheer and joy
O-bliterate the problem page.
B-liss and pure paradise
A-re brought by comedy;
L-et your heart be satisfied, feeling the touch of ecstasy.
A-mount of sheer happiness
P-iles up amid vile weather;
E-uphoria of parody perdures,
L-ight jokes won't be
O-ver.

Winter's early evening breeze
feels and smells the same now,
as when sixteen,
except less promising
because more consoling,
contenting rather than regenerating contentious breath
of future hopes and dreams,
knowing we conspire somehow,
Earth and I,
because I feel richer to love this way,
than to breathe evening's winter still, alone.
I am less sure this was not my last daylight
in this operatic, yet ridiculously distracted,
lifetime landscape of sensexstory memory.
When I was sixteen,
my understory was more of a musical-comedy landscape
that would remain forever Peter Pan young, virginal,
well...hopefully not that.
Such confidence of seeing yet another
and another, apparently endless,
pink dawn,
turning yellow,
introducing blue hemisphere,
framed by green Earth's polycultural grasses
and monocultural asses,
which, at sixteen,
I found more amusing
than patience perdures into sixtyfour.
Winter's now later evening silence
remembering sixteen and sixtyfour
together
over vodka-laced pomegranate.
