If you read in-between
Her lines I mean
Her subjects are often quite loose...

He puts his clothes on in the same way
Shoes on first
Pants diverse
He just doesn't know what to say

Rather resented by Reason.
Offish, often obtuse
Snippy, snooty, sometimes sour
Terse,  temperamental

Obtuse angled deaths and white roses
Still hang in their branches as memories displace...

Was often thought rather obtuse,
He was quick on his legs,
And was partial to eggs,
Which was why all his motions were loose!...

to her bliss
to a place

with creations
relying on kinetics
embracing its essence
all to be discontinued....

Hallways confetti bile stymied soldiers smile
'Incomiiiiiiiiing!!!!'
Waves and waves of the nation's slaves
Wave your flag

The proud
The crippled and the dead...

    Who tried to bake, a lemon meringue pie
    While his aim was obtuse,
    As he squeezed lemon juice.
    He winked, but only his glass eye stayed dry....

When I lied to my wife she hugged and kissed me
But with my boss I let loose
Calling him vile and obtuse
Now I ask for your kind Christmas charity

In mortal existence can we perceive our soul?
We don’t know, the obtuse mind masks its role. 

Our awareness of self can’t recognize its link at all
With the super-consciousness of the eternal whole.

you're with Daddy now.
When father sneezes,
Dachau odes are sprayed
onto sandpaper.

Linen tissues
glaze his black horns.
Dish rags polish
obtuse pitchforks.

Papa squirms
in a bag
full of God.

Achoo!
Ach, du

Die!...

   Then can't we conclusively deduce

      That two could be called mongeese

            Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse

two thoughts together vieing,

Just to let all you folks know
  that my good old keyboard's kaput
Can't f'gure out the reason why
  but eye (Gershon) can't type the letter eye

So for the next few days, an eye
  or an apostrophe w'll have to do
My poems may be sl'ghtly obtuse
  As Eye make for th's keyboard a noose...
