Quasi-Quasimodo
Searching the smoking ruins
of Notre-Dame cathedral,
on the Paris Île de la Cité,
one of the finest examples medieval
of French Gothic architecture,
with flying buttresses, a rib vault,
immense bells,
enormous colourful rose windows
all of which went through hell
during the fearful fire of 2019,
and it was seen
he'd been through the wringer
when looking for Quasimodo
they found a dead ringer

Queens of Quasi - Mar 18
The quivering quitters, quaking and quacking
In quite a quizzing quagmire, quietly
Quash their qualms. The ***** quest they have acquired,
Is a quandry of quantum quantity.

Hyperbolic quasi autobiographical prevarication...
caricature sketch of person best known to yours truly
What began as an honest
to goodness attempt
to craft personal truthful profile
evolved into a fictional poem
manifested into the following.
Despite the onslaught of paparazzi,
I (an eccentric kindhearted sexagenarian -
born January xiii, mcmlix
at The Christ Hospital
within Mount Auburn, Ohio)
instantaneously shied, blinked away
from the spot (klieg)

Meaning the corporeal complex edifice

in meaningless song

Quasi Contractious
it was odd
strange
kinda unlike what
you'd expect
they sat and ate
sushi, and dirty-rice
while listening to
polka
wearing blue jeans
and those pinkish purplish
elastic like vests.
they wore black cowboy boots
and these cool looking
native headdress's
they discussed management styles
and new and gifted prospects
they were offering their service
and expertise to those
who wished to be greater
those who lacked that
certain appeal
they humbled themselves
and sat their
eating

Quasi Mote - Oh Ephemeral Transit Across Proto Zones
Quasi Mote - Oh Ephemeral Transit Across Proto Zones!
Strictly speculation from this mind,
who contemplates stripped down version
bajillion eons ago
cosmic bit sized dots
pinwheeled thru spatial void
repulsed and/or attracted
colluding (putin on the Ritz)
infinitesimal show stopper
devoid of prior rehearsal
since previous cosmic contraction
absent remembrance
tabula rasa, viz consciousness
if rebooted, reincarnated,
repurposed, et cetera,
asper knowing nothing
perchance if previous rendition

Entro Vatt Quasi De Amore
look away
now turn
hope you like it
I was thinking
about you
sweet expressions
and words only do so much
sometimes
a symbol of togetherness
encourages others to
feel about us
the way we
feel about our being together
when those who encourage
us to be best and right
never being the last to know
or having others succeed at
undermining our togetherness
those who rally to create tension
