probing my cheek
a mild breeze
released
from icy clutches
for a spell
ducking inside
i rushed to return
vanished
the breeze
no guarantees

Looked for grins.
A worn-out spirit.
Probing soul.
Each lone hour.
Catching giggles puffed my doubts
Who fused in darkness

The sun touched upon him in mid-reflection
As he searched for the shade of kind shelter
Up and down he looked from tip to toe
Cast his wandering eyes near and afar
Closed his eyes but he caught a mirage
Illusion or blindfolded reality uncovered
He came upon an uncomfortable truth
Neither outlines no contours only illusions
Darkened the specter of vivid impressions
When an invisible cloud pasted his mind
He realized that only he was his own shadow

President Probing A Prostitute
About America should always give a hoot;
President Trump is with another Prostitute;
Having fun,
Until done;
To pay, from us, he likes gathering in loot.

If the unbearable lightness of being has pushed you to the brink of catastrophic meltdown,
walk to the edge of our flat two-dimensional existence
and take a leap of faith...
You may drift through space for quite some time
eyeing the stars, the planets, the galaxies
that make up the great and boring universe beyond.
Eventually you'll come across darker, scarier territory,
unseen with the naked eye
yet comprising 95% of all matter,
and all that matters,
otherwise known as the unconscious.
Some day you'll feel safer in the void,
more secure,
at peace.
With not one mirror in sight to reflect your self concept,
everything and nothing make perfect sense here,
for they are one and the same.
You are the only observer
of man's true final frontier
and his one and only mystery.
