Mistake
Forgivable, pardonable
Misunderstanding, malfunctioning, glitching
Ever so irretrievable
Error

Dysfunctional Approach

using a 
dysfunctional 
malfunctioning
defective 
approach
at compromise 
is like trying to
fit a misshapen
puzzle piece into 
the wrong place 
within the bigger 
picture

Trump Hilarious At the Helm

Trump Hilarious at the Helm

Trump is totally hilarious at the helm;
With all his idiocy, he does overwelm;
Damaged brain,
Hard to explain,
And has a  malfunctioning cerubulum.

Paris, Seven Months From Now

then you rushed into the leafy courtyard late
like you’d just been thrown in by some hand
but we hadn’t actually arranged it yet 
I knew immediately the timeline was 
malfunctioning, still, I went with it anyway
for old time sake and the yesterdays to come

Standard Man

Fully standard man
Come straight out the can
Right into the pan 
According to plan 

Sports fan
Sensible sedan 
Don't ask how it began 
Sleepwalking man 

In some kind of jam
Wonder where I am 
Think it all a big scam 
Malfunctioning man

Malfunctioning Machine

Ah!  This rusted brain!
(I lost the instructions too.)
Now, the whir and spin
of cognitive, liquid thoughts,
just grind cogs to snaps of smoke.

Ah! I can't complain!
(Lack of use is true to blame)
TV thoughts do rust
Advertisments do congeal
'till once, what spun, is silent.

Your image, 
a malfunctioning promise
idles in my handbag.
I took that picture
when I took your word
never expecting both were
two dimensional.
I can’t breathe life into your promises
any more than I can infuse it 
into your photograph
but at least I have something tangible 
in your picture.
The promise remains a myth.

Rhetorical Questioning

rhetorical questioning 
became the norm within 
this malfunctioning affair 
never truly wanting a 
genuine answer to be 
declared 
with a glaring stare 
spread across the eye's 
of resentment 
words foaming from 
the mouth filled with 
such disdain 
cultivated an atmosphere
of emotional hostility 
causing the death of love

Life Is Puzzling

Life can be so puzzling.
Can leave you malfunctioning.
Every day jobs and tasks.
The questions folks continue to ask and ask.
All the money that is spent.
All the love gone wrong or misjudged by accident.
All of this pain and stress in our lives.
Just trying to survive.
In the end of it all no way to be revived.
Just to see if we’re heaven or hell sent.
Life can be so puzzling.

Progressive Rock

On the energy waves of the eons,
Of lyric and line ever-forming,
One is injected, transported,
With all vibrations bursting
Through the human heart and mind,
The jolting edge of innovation
And every positive passion.

Even the cynic or child may sense,
When riding such a current,
The power native to humanity.
Synapses now malfunctioning
Cannot forever thwart their charge.
Mankind has the voltage needed
To mobilize all the connectors.
