He was bony, a right-angle-jangle
   Her curves took the edge off...

stones scattered around
when stacked in right angle lines
mark old boundaries...

I wish I could wonder true right after
Wanderlust.
Hypoteneuse walking along the right angle....

At last! Found your mind
Perpendicular to mine -
Just the right angle.

A cold stone is comforting to touch,
It looks just perfect when you see it at first
But, I mean, anything can look beautiful
From the right angle.

At a right angle to all that is known,
Exists an unknown that remains,
glimpsed through the windows of dreams,
Remaining un-real until one dares to climb out the window....

My poor professor
Reminded everyone of a right angle
Resting at zero degrees
He arched zealously against the board
Leaning towards the mark
Of passionate perfect placement
Ninety!...

Our Earth orbits on an angle
So we yearly get birds and bees
Don't thank God for the Summertime
Thank Him for twenty three degrees

You going to slip If you stay in 
your corner 
Your going to flip back
A dirty right angle 
Your voice is gonna crack
Your words are gonna snap
If I have the opportunity 
I can create a new identity 
My voice only in your memory
You'll never see me again...

when the sun hits the sand just right
millions of galaxies are created in the dust
a cloud may delete them
the wind may blow them away
someone may smash them with their boot
but the galaxies return at the right angle
a new constellation with every hour of the day...

Right angle is where love dwells in the East
Isosceles, when you love between the leasts
Acute is when your love is short and rough
Obtuse, when your love is more than enough...

All angles of love are great
So long as lovers give and take
Never doubt when and how love starts to break
When lovers know who gives up and shake...

You’re haunted by that ghost.
The camera can catch it, if it’s at the right angle.
The moon can illuminate it, if it’s at its fullest.
And I can feel it, if it’s at the moment
when you look me in the eyes
and tell me you don’t love me.
I’ve burned all the pictures that it appears in,
the pictures where we’re together, and I look happy....

sinking below the surface,
a new world appears,
different from the other as wet to dry,
habitable when filtered through the mind,
a right angle to all known everything,
a living dream so unfamiliar as to be almost nightmare,
a newness to master,
when I rise, oh I will rise, I will be citizen to both world,
graciously I will welcome you upon your visit....

Pythagoras was a mathematician.
He taught mathematics in ancient Greece.
He created a now-famous theorem.
You can bisect a rectangle or square.
Draw a line between opposite corners.
This will result in two right triangles.
The two sides opposite each right angle
are commonly called a “hypotenuse“.
The sum of the squares of the base and height,
equal the square of the hypotenuse.

Thank you mankind, 
for leaving this clump of trees,
for us Nature lovers.
A crowd of deciduous samplings,
motionless like prisoners,
in a desert of bulldozer ruts.

If I squint my vision,
I should be thankful that the clump of trees
is positioned to catch the Autumn sun
 - at just the right angle.
It's all how you view trees.

So sad they're young and orphaned
With no desire to shed their leaves....

You can't really understand
Them until you look
 
A spider's web
In-between two railings
Swinging in the wind
It almost looks like
The strands will rip apart
Barely holding on
By either end
It's almost like the web
Isn't even there

You have to look at it
In the right light
With the right angle
But not everybody
Likes spider webs
So that can be a good thing
Unless they run into it
Unwittingly
 
Where's the spider?...

Light means 
That a shadow will soon dissect it 
At just the right angle. 
This lonesome man wonders 
Did mr. Williams see it coming?  
Or was it more of an illusion  
As it may sometimes seem..
I think he grasped it 
Because it's beacon was so eternal 
And I think his recourse, 
Like an artist, 
Will continue to fall at 
The feet of those 
That will learn the distance 
Between shadow and light. 

RIP Robin Williams. We miss u!...

what do we need?
i believe in stress relief
clothes off, 
underneath
can't help but tangle feet
re-arrange and dangle
feet on shoulder
thighs make a right angle.
