Asperger's --Work In Progress--
Contemplative, taciturn
Willing to commit
An immutable zeal to learn
Endowed with acerbic wit
Endless potential
But having few outlets, to express it
Seemingly aloof or deferential
Unintentionally causing pain
Coming off inconsequential
An indelible stain
Easily misunderstood
Without composure refrained...

Acerbic analysis awaits Annie.
Allies augment angrily against
Alicia’s apocryphal antithesis.

Thoughts On Words
Thoughts on Words
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015
Words, once spoken, can’t be retained,
So be unhurried in opinions you express.
To acerbic words, you’re forever chained,
Until remorse for using, you’ll confess.
While all may seek forgiveness
Not all are enthused by the idea of payment in kind

Shadow Girl
Uncoloured like ether; armed with snakes
Steps as lithe as a greyhound; a body
put together like a puzzle
With rings and dark eyes and small voices
Your words stumped and acerbic, I bet
you fall into chairs and lovers
When you sit opposite me on a bus
You chase away my starved eyes; old hope
for a love dusty over a fireplace....

This Love
The itch to love
and satiate pride
swallowed too long stifles
breath
without emancipation
A tragic capitulation to self
Pride, perhaps acerbic,
leaves morsels to ruminate
and loves to regurgitate
coy ceramic dalliances
and Venusian masquerades
Masked in smiles
And toxic
This love,
These loose granite memories
Ductile innocents
And hasty lulls
These shining sunsets
And supernovas
Must rest.

Lewis Black
Laughter most cathartic is what he'll imbue
Even when faced with politics mostly askew
Wit so acerbic bound with oodles of smarts
It's not surprising he has a Masters in Fine Arts
Some find him angry and more than a bit crass
But for the kernel of truth given, he gets a pass
Life and politics comprise his comedic styling
All who listen will find his mania beguiling
Comedy has found its reigning anxiety attack
Kindly cheer, applaud, and meet Lewis Black!...
