Do you think neanderthals learned to tongue kiss
It would explain the seven billion people on the premises
If they just held hands
And touched other glands
But apparently the tongue was a sex organ causing bliss...

Megolodon was a very toothy fellow
who was probably not too mellow
he would search for all kinds of prey
and treat his find like a buffet
he probably didn’t have many enemies
and I’m so glad he is not in our modern premises

The old dilapidated mansion
in the woods
sometimes it beckoned me
in lonely hours.
I love to visit it
in a fine weather
sit on the stairs of its portico
and ponder
how it liked
in its heydays long past.
I might not be allowed then
to visit its premises....

Sometimes in the end
New beginnings cling
Attaching themselves to new premises lend
~
Random yearning closures rings
Often dismiss as over rolf
The end comes and out of its mouth
Future verge fringe

     Sharp questions make me reassess
        my thinking’s illogical mess

     Look at things a different way
        False premises and conclusions slay

     Hit me hard where it really hurts
        Force me to animadvert 
           ~ to reason, emotions convert

Reason you give, rings unsound,
Beyond logic, and no longer valid, 
Premises of lies, conclusions rogue,
Arguments and fallacies, just full of lies. 

Think you I be deceived, and love you again?  
Ney, think I cherished, these last days?
Ney, think I drowned, in your plays? 
Ney, I think you failed, and I wont be fazed....

We forgot to close the coop and a
predator came calling.
We became entangled by his loop
and now the government he's uphauling.
We let a nemesis on the premises,
so billionaires he's installing..
Slashing and gutting Federal agencies.
What will survive this mauling?
The chaos and the casualties,
so tragic and appalling.....

Trump Terrific Premises

White House is now Trump's terrific premises;
On erupting personality placed much emphasis;
Uncanny curiosity;
Much animosity;
Destructive nature is name of this new nemesis.

Wouldn't you know that normally a nemesis is
a female. In this case, it was a male.
Nemesis is a goddess usually portrayed as the
agent of divine punishment for wrongdoing or
presumption (hubris).

God showed up Tuesday
Walked slowly amid His children
Found the doors to his houses locked
The poor huddled in the shadows
Of bell towers that called to no one
Listened to the empty words
Of robed and soul-less orators
Droning in a deafening silence

God wept on Tuesday
Unrecognized
Shunned when he inquired:
“Do you love one another?”
Escorted from the premises
When he whispered:
“Why have you forsaken Me?”...

Open up the hearts of those that fought hard
Visualize the missions that were taught 
Compel and hang onto the premises
 the dawning of a new light
Makes it a new day 
Close the minds of those with hatred 
Spread the love of Joy
 through their soul and spirit
 So they must eternally live 
We must forever forgive 
For forgiveness is the strongest force there is

If,
I was not afraid of, 
the thing, but the signature 
strike of a copycat
in the art of dismantling.

You,
try to pull down brick
by brick, the
jeopardy. A dead premises
becoming alive.

How,
will you,numb with pain,
explain the poetry of victim’s trail,
becoming a Buddha ?
Can you find a bo tree for me ?

The,
grape hyacinth, I still
carry your globular blue
eyes, chasing my
kisses. Why in the evening ?

School is a super market
the proprietor hires the premises
prepares parking yard for customers
pays exorbitantly in taxes
goods are labeled with prices
customers pick the affordable
no negotiated interactions
sales executives guide and monitor
guards check out security
ensuring no cheating
preventing any shop-lifting
rich clients eat from restaurants
the rest go hungry, thirsty
what customers carry home
is not the concern of proprietors
money must speak...

threads of yarn

a sorry tale

knotted life

twisted fortune


reason unbalanced

premises mixed up

conclusions invalid


feelings snarled

emotions jumbled

omnipresent confusion


she cut the cord

severed the rope

disconnected the puppet

hacked off the knots

disconnected attachments


rationale embraced

tenderness kissed

she started to breathe

inspired by freedom

The premise goes everyone knows
before entering the premises
while still outside yet on the mat
it's no gentleman who forgets
to doff his cap or remove his hat
if dining out or at a private party
for a particular person
it's impolite at most
to sip slurp or slink a drink
before the toast to a hospitable host
and when beside the table laden
confronted by the salsa bowl
biting then re-dipping chips
the most unmannerly of all
is he (or she) who double-dips
