need to apply the hand brake
way out of order
populace without borders …
used the virtue of vision.

In this downpour of 
nil a blinding fog descended
and a venomous,

absinthe-mindedness wrapped all 
over me, thus all of my 
senses were out of order....

Sluggish and settled
  or softened with age
Low speed and laid back
  a lagging old sage
Overdue and overwhelmed
   out of order and old
Wound down  and weary
   but her heart is pure gold...

No more poems about poops and bums
Worn them right out, on to jokes and puns
Know what MNDI stands fer
Stands for your MIND out of order
Got bunches of silly groaners to post by the ton

Won 3 million on the lottery going to give away a quarter
Which leaves me just twenty-five cents shorter
Bet you weren't gambling on that
Now go feed the damn cat
Before it claws your diddler and puts your sex life out of order...

Intrusive growing with a stir 
pushes you over the border;
I can't take it any longer;
Out of order, out of order;

Deadly quiet as I reached out 
all that escapes me is a shout;
It all ends now without a doubt;
Total blackout, total blackout....

Under my mistakes
I’ve placed my triumphs
Because they fall short of 
Revealing the realness
My failures have formed me
Causing heartache in the process
My eyes still itch from the last one
And yes,
I know you’ve been wondering
My heart is still out of order...

Shooting, stabbing
Cheating, lying
In a courtroom
Truth denying
Robbing, burning
Undiscerning
Money launder
Out of order
Drink and drugs
Encourage thugs
Children neglected
Life affected
Feeling ill
Suicide pill
It's not fair
Does anyone care?

Appreciate life, Choose to Be
Embroidering your own Dreams
Find ways to Give, Innovate
Jubilating in others, Occur
Feel free to Listen, Move
Qualify, then Keep, Thank
Narrate and Perpetuate
Rejuvinate, Wander to 
Never Underestimate
Value, Hug, Yearn
After you Xyein
Zoom and Sing...

 Take them up a bit
Step down and disconnect yet
Well oriented

Follow the rhythm
Fall into run, then schism
Palladium's glow

Hang on, two flights left
Three ahead then go right
Welcome home, goodnight

All this time, and the elevator still remains 'Out of Order.'...

Sadness is a malfunction of the body.
Arbitrarily inactive, indifferent, indecent. 
Under the layers. Find the light. The darkness is out of order
Saying love is like asking a random person
What happens after death? 
Every theory is different, as well as the experiences. 
Check in. You're not truly afraid....

"Did God actually say, you may not eat of any tree in the garden?" Genesis 3:1

When lies whisper,
it’s salt in the sugar bowl.

A plus sign becomes
minus: such a small thing (one line).

A few words (out of order)
and my love seems
like a cage to you.

Who would deceive you?
He must be a thief....

Hello Sir
Good Evening 

Your room Sir

Sorry the lift is currently out of order

4th Floor up the Stair's 
Down the corridor on the right hand side
Room 101 

Use the Card Key
But before you enter
Knock 3 times please

Excuse me sorry

Do you know ?
Who 
Or
What is in there ?

No 
Sorry
Do you ?...

Take a spoon and stir the air
  What pollutants do you find there

Your fence is rotting, pull out a stake
  Now it's got a huge toothache

Pull down a rake and comb your lawn
  Which side is the part on

In your sidewalk, count the cracks
  Step in one, get dog-doo back

Climb your steps and ring the bell
  It's out-of-order, what the hell...

The elements of sin , 
wont let it begin.
The sinister souls,
aren't growing old.
The crying child of Babylon, 
is now the one who has passed on.
The elements are falling apart,
While nature is playing its part.
The screams of horror, 
are moving us out of order.
The elements of sin, 
Call forth the end.
The elements of sin, 
won't help us in the end....

The numbers are out of order
but so are the days
I need a close friend now more than ever
and you're fitting right into place
Someone I can throw my thoughts at
and for you to do the same
I'm learning more this time around
and putting things into perspective
It didn't help that I ran
for a few months
So what am I to do
but be a friend to you
from a different point of view...

Temporary help
  temporarily needed.
Temporary rules
  temporarily heeded.
Temporary lover
  temporarily loved.

Temporary flowers
  blooming in the yard.
Temporary rain
  falling down so hard.

Temporarily out of order.
Temporarily insane.
Temporarily feeling
  this temporary pain.

Some days I wish I had a reset
just below my chin,
but when I pushed the button,
a message would kick in.

Are you sure you want a reset,
not once, but three times more.

If you push again it all will end and
 memory lost for sure.

But wait, A final voice sounds clear
just like an old recorder,
the button that you just pushed
is temporarily out of order. 

Wooo! I nearly lost my mind....

for the longest while I was balancing two loves but...



heartless and conniving
in a brutal coup
death ran off with
the love of my life
my one true north

suddenly lost
my compass
out of order

to the rescue
my loyal muse
the moon
stepping up
to get me
to my feet
and help me
somehow
carry on
