You are not an idiot
You are just cold hearted
And calculating
Enjoy your life...

Being tossed around~

And all I am counting is
Missing colour and sound

"GHOSTS"
elusive shadows
apparitional figures
peering hollow eyes
calculating shrewd moods,
anguish mortal clarity......

Creeping quietly, crawling slowly
Walking stealthly, eying hungrily
Waiting patiently, calculating rapidly
the cat pranced, on the rat soon deceased...

Dendrochronology studies a tree
Calculating how old the oak could be
By counting its internal rings
Rare knowledge that often sings
Filling a botanist with glee...

Below:
Vertiginous
fish, foraging for flies
that hover above the water
level.

Above:
An eager eye
calculating, swooping
down with deadly talons splayed for
killing....

‘Four us’ had ‘all mine’ calculating mischief  
Undermining + faulting > (It’s u, u, and u)
So u-cubed / ’we’ three equaled the minus

I am calculating a stack of bills, about to lose my wits!

But, I’d rather attack with dynamite, and blow the bills to bits!

Keep on calculating the numbers of insignificance.

It is better to be full of knowledge; 
than a fool without a brain of neurons.  

The right person will truly love you & vice versa....

No losses
Only losers
Once ed
About bosses
But now nobody
Tells yous
What to do
And I’m at a loss
Calculating the 
Whole cost
Of living
A mess
I scream it out
I hate alcohol
Let’s not digress...

He seemed quite shy
did Sammy the Spy
Yet his reticence masked
a mind calculating, sly

When but a wee lad
Sammy uncovered the facts of life --
Picking his folks' bedroom lock 
He gawked, then gasped, 'Oh, my!'...

Hello World
Return takes flight
Past and present black and white
Surely losing all my sight
Numbers dancing in bright light
Calculating bits and bytes 
Slowly painting left to rig...

Creeping from leaf to leaf
Calculating its moves
Creating its next phase…
Chrysalis born anew
Casting forth butterfly!
Common name swallowtail,
Character is to soar.

Remember how you spent 
                    half  An hour

Burning love
This fossil fuel goes unrecognized
When calculating brain
Mixed with car trouble
Causes croaking spokes to choke

All folks aside
This burning love is molting
Beyond measure
In caverns unpedaled
To preserve
The feelings in silhoutte...

Count the seconds everlong
Linger with the turning hands
On and on we twist and turn
Calculating the time of our next step
Keep the pace

With every tick we flinch
On every tock we run
Raving about the steady ways,
Kept under the pendulum...

Sneaky
Deceitful
Calculating and cruel
It poses as your friend
Offering comfort 
Strength
A sense of achievement.

It isolates 
Jealously guarding the relationship
Until it infiltrates 
Every cell of your being
And claims you 
As its own....

alpha
              first, beginning
calculating, enhancing, computing
    be-all, God, end-all, mentor
 rivaling, approximating, watching
                 last, ending
                     omega

A joker by right playful,
In his multifarious role,
Stalks the image with random,
True ambiguous collections.

Deep rooted teeth cheesy in smile,
Pirate eye calculating,
Smacks of military might;
In jesters tender delight.

Plays the blind card to his joy?
Misses no one with this ploy....

"New Covenant" 

Heaven was on earth
in those days, all connected,
yet, the challenged unseeing

lost in the 
Garden of Eden,
walking in circles

life 
bleeding,
time wasting

the vacuous,
calculating,
yet, unconscionable

all seeing

Drawing lines between shapes of grief
Going in circles, awaiting the lietmotif
Now just a side of a triangular run.
With defences up like the Pentagon.

Then finally looking Love square in the face
While Hope's line slopes down in disgrace
Calculating a Geometry too disjoint
For Love to have a basic point....
