expendable lives
our elderly, sick and poor
benefits denied
D.C. may call the shots now
God is the equalizer

Bridge
opens
ships passing
hazy river
lazy afternoon
interstate traffic flow
commerce never gets hindered
regardless any human toll
expendable drones toil away
pandemic death march steady undeterred

Broken bones, black and blue, bumps and bruises
Conniving, consticting, concealing, convincing
Demented, deplorable, disgusting, distrusting
Expendable, expensive, exasperating, exacting
I am so used to being mistreated, used and abused

Double duce my can is sweating
ice melts to water
jim beam bottle was covered in dust
up is down pleasure is pain
drunken arrest
a@#hole with unspoken thoughts
hangovers black outs
expendable friends
misguided girls quilt ridden
drunks most vicious animals of all

Today the wind blows,
Causing the trees to sway,
And their intoxication possessed my vision.
Tomorrow the wind will blow,
Causing the trees to sway,
Their absorption is now spoiled to the eye,
But they will continue to sway,
For my attention is expendable.

when i took the oath
i agreed to be expendable
can't blame anybody but myself
nightmares
night sweats
cronic fatigue
insomnia
anxiety
panic
depresion
aching bones
muscles
headaches
memory loss
chronicaly progresively
physicaly
mentally
aging too fast
the price for freedom
i took the oath

Bio
Tell me what you want
And tell the world what you mean.
I've learned to speak
And shut my mouth
Simultaneously,
For a pen in hand
Is an expendable and honest friend
Much like the compromise
Of my will alone.
I love illusive contexts
And palpable persuasions
That permeate my little
Lackadaisical lust bomb.

If you knew it all,
You'd jump to conclusions
Have to work out the confusion
Reach a resolution
Swallow it whole and choke it down
If you knew it all,
Maybe you wouldn't jump to conclusions
Pin me up to all the rest
Assumptions that are commendable
Hope to prove they are expendable
If you knew it all,
You wouldn't jump to conclusions
Can prove the permutation
Finally in a good situation
This is my designation

MOMENTS
M-memories stolen from the que
O-our living moments matter to other's
M-minute by minute life's video
E-eternally matter when in review
N-never to be regained when lost
T-time is not expendable
S-slipping past like a vapor

Acrostic
[for a country doctor]
Here’s another beige plastic do-hickey
busted. We’ll buy a new one,
throw the old away.
But you would have tinkered it back
till it worked. Thin physician hands
adept at hammer, shovel, trowel,
you could fix anything, or turn it
into something else of use.
These days, we can’t find a fuse.
Everything’s expendable.
After 87 years, you knew it was time
to recycle yourself, to turn in
your hands, your wrinkled gray eyes,
your gentle smile.
