Blood Type: O-verwhelmingly Lonely
By moonlit nights, I prowl with grace, No mirror shows my pale, sharp face. Stake through heart? Please, not today— I dodge those stakes and run away. Garlic bread? You think I'll drool? I've got a stash behind the stool. Sunlight's foe? A mild complaint, Sunscreen 50 is my saint. I drink your blood, but don't take fright— It's just a snack to get...

What is Truth?
What is truth, Where does it reside? Is it mere appearance or bride dyed-white? Was Gandhi the truth or the Dreams of Freud? Or did you find it when the infant cried? In Slaying Slogans of Soldiers' Pride Or in the mistakes which a child hide? For me, truth is like a naked bride You veil it as a corpse in graveside Tis'...

Difficult Generation
Abraham born before Jesus They were born holding selfie. They booked flight from the womb Are the children of this generation. They speak louder without sense Yet wiser than Solomon himself They sees beyond their parents With food remnants on their mouth. Right in the womb they ate wheat Before they were born they saw you What is it you know I don't know Says a...

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea, Created a baby that left its mommy, Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room, So, lets ask, who’s the bigger a--? A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair, Puff of smoke gone, what went wrong? Bully the pulpit, who’s the culprit, Line drawn...

Rhyming with Counting
One, Two A shoe Three, Four I walked into a door Five, Six I like to eat sticks Seven, Eight I'm full of hate Nine, Ten My name is not Ben Ten, Nine I'm far from fine Eight, Seven I came from hell not heaven Six, Five Don't punch a beehive Four, Three I saw someone kiss a tree Two, One No more son, he is done 'cause I have a gun...

Premium Member Nine Lines Striking a Pose
What nonet flaunts its lovely derrière? Then sings with sweet, buttermilk sound— with shape fully self-aware, in nine lines? Ass firm, round, curvaceous with flare: and so high, bound for beach wear, and found, here? ...

Said in the Same Breath as Freedom - May 8
“O’!, work, work, work away,—ignore your thirst and shovel steadily—keep nourrishing the coals of locomotive life!(the cost is but your souls); All other occupations?—to hell dispersed! “Amen! your bosses, with cash (to be disbursed), busy their hands with myriad controls made to mold you for your determined roles; Yes… yes!, because the silence would be worst! “Aye! Men! your calling...

Premium Member Trump's Wild Tango
One step back, two steps forward, Swing around and do the dance, Keep it fast, a little awkward A whole world audience to entrance. Now you've got them captivated Up the tempo, raise the heat, Some may need to be sedated As they wither from your beat. Hearts loud-pounding, foreheads thumping, Gasping air among the shouts, Doomsayers bleating, markets jumping, Second guessing, full of doubts. Quite the...

Still Blinking III
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

The Horse Named Maybe
I bought me a horse from a feller named Clyde, said, "She’s gentle and sweet, just a joy for to ride." Well, "Maybe" she was, and maybe she weren't-- the first thing she did was dump me in dirt. I saddled up hopeful, boots shiny and proud, "Maybe" just yawned and sat down on the ground. I pulled, and I pushed,...

I. To dream in binary and bits, then copy, send with virus-like, electronic, image file hits. To dream in binary and bits, takes computer programming wits. Like Lawnmower Man, Musk's god-like: but Elon's prone to enraged fits, when Teslas burn by fiery blitz. II. A.I. Chatbots, like Elon's Grok, have smarter...
