The air nothing 
Left not even a care 
To wonder how to 
Pass the time as 
I sit here stuck 
In a bind...

Alone and locked up in her room
With mirrors reflecting her gloom
She paces the floor
And looks at the door
But can not crawl back in the womb...

He paces back and forth, forth and back

Prospective previews streak into wishing well
Trimming down tranquil traces

Although it is just like the races

Cheer up, Jake

he is then most alluring jet of black 
Very beautiful he ravages his
Prey he lurks

No matter the amount of my twerking

The snow paces itself
cold winds bear no flesh
you leave me wanting more
beyond the unkempt bed linen
Yet there is no avail
You amber along dewey paths

cover girl make up on faces
carnival of aces
entertainment graces

saddle shoe laces
pony out paces
clown car chases
teen girls in braces

On tobaccy, while jawing
At the ump, methinks its likely tradition, I submit...

Making another left on left
Taking big steps
cumference
the enclosing boundary of a curved geometric 
perimeter, border, boundary
I walk around...

that the next journey 
would be on a lesser winding road!!...

   manes plastered down
     quarter-horses
   put through their paces
     lightning-like, whips crack the air 
 
   puddles mirror rainbows
     sunshine peeks from clouds
   hands folded around cash
     spectators pray to gods unknown
