Mind curtsied to Soul in deference and respect.
Accidentally infuriating Imagination.
What am I supposed to do? He chastised Mind
You belong everywhere, you are the dream key, Mind told him.
You can do anything you want. 
This appeased Imagination in a fierce way,
and he finally quit pouting....

I’m tempted to backhand the ones who call
		us sixty-somethings old or elderly.
		How dare they use such terms describing me?
		Infuriating! Boy, do they have gall!

Prancing through midnight fire
I called my soul to surrender
She laughed
Diabolically

Shocked at my daring
and my failure to train myself
even in death, I pulled out the big guns
Plastering her with truth in leaden forms

She refused to comply
Making me angry, but also
infuriating me, as I was losing her respect
Which was the only thing I thought I would have in the end

Silly me....

To a relief pitcher, this is infuriating.
With his team leading, it is the ninth inning.
Inability to hold the lead can be humiliating.
With a two run lead, and two runners on base,
the batter hits the ball right out of the place.
The pitcher was unable to get the third out.
With the game lost, it’s a long walk to the dugout.
This can ruin a relief pitcher’s night without a doubt.

It was evident from the time you were a baby
That you would be quite expressive
You bowl me over with your strong will
It can be excessive

Although your stubborness can be infuriating
Your smile melts my heart
You have a natural charm that's evident from the start

Your energy is unbridled, your laughter is addictive
You do your utmost to get your way, but you could never be vindictive

The cobwebs of my inner self
Brush themselves out of the way
And shut their eyes again,
In a sloth-like way
The alarm is going off,
infuriating them.
It cannot be that time already.

I shut my eyes tightly
Trying to retain the dream 
I am sure was a great one
Wanting to reconnect to the
zombie-like trance I was in a few minutes ago.
The incessant alarm is still going on in my mind’s eye
Forcing my eyes open, unfortunately....

The Darkest Closet 



A stone went unturned, the message was lost
Infuriating The Nemesis in multiple ways
In the darkness of a closet violently tossed
Locked doors, no food, lost track of days

The message forgot, but was it missed
Time for another silent, cold, cruel prayer
Still in the shadows of the closets darkness
Smelling the cruelty of my keepers hair

   The renowned Columbia professor, Edward Sa’id
   influenced many thousands in thought and in deed

   Pre-1970, Edward told us he was Lebanese Christian, interestingly
   Post-1970, he was suddenly a Palestinian Arab refugee  



   _____________________________________________________
   From my Dartmouth days, 1968 - 72, I remember how prominent
   and revered a figure Prof. Sa'id was in both academia and on the
   international political scene... Infuriating!

For what Baptism has left unsolved
Any Darwinian hope for the Newly Evolved?
There mustn’t be another vile scar
From a cheating on a flying car!

Vera should’ve the thing tried at some bar,
Just for her man, everywhere A Star,
To pursuers unreachable because far …

Yes, round The Scandalous had the thing revolved,
The subject not likely to be absolved,
Because of the inglorious lot involved
And an infuriating infidelity scarcely resolved…

A marriage to escape being dissolved...
