Unable to relax

Unable to release

Crushing capitalism enveloping me

Feeling tight

If I release will they come after me?

your song we still sing
as we escape twinned clutches
of crushing weeds to flower

Who by anyone's judgment was heavy

But ended up crushing the Chevy

Blind Date

Thus crushing on her blind date
Causes her to knock over the plate
The food crashes to the floor
Her date runs out the door
So, she tries to determine her fate

You talk with condensing tones
Crushing down on shaken bones.
You whisper secrets in my ears
That you say I had no right to hear
Your claws dig deeper year by year.

The sun rises each day
even though I am experiencing
crushing grief, I can see it and

Blinding

My dream has to wait.
For another night,
another world.

For a blow 
that will get rid of the dirt 
crushing innocence 
of those who dream.

Meanwhile...
Pick up the fight.

or one life-crushing Storm
