The Deafening Silence of the Thrusters

I'm shocked
one of many
in shock
aboard the gin palace
lost far from the pleasure dome
somewhere between 
the Moon and Mars.

Fear

How perverse is this?
Missing that fear,
That shocked
That tasered 
That petrified
My limbs
My teacher standing with his cane

Finish Later

When his head up in the air often pokes,
What we knew was it had been a hoax;
Were shocked and had so many strokes.

And behold, I'm shocked.

Lying on the leather couch.

Make a snide remark.

Making nightly pray.

Whisper in your ear, "Be Mine".

If shocked by the size of my staff
Don't feel a need to gasp or laugh
Mom meant no harm
But had only one arm
To pull me up out of the bath!

I am amazed but not shocked at her lack of respect
For I have seen her browbeat her mother

It’s our halfway house where we half-unwind,
Half-sociable, half-lazy,
And where half our friends we’re half-shocked to find
Half-interesting, half-crazy.

that shocked the critics
more his inability
in a world where water was scarce
to sing somewhere else

Mourner In A Corner

What he must be is some mourner;
He has been boxed up in a corner;
Around poke,
And then joke;
Am shocked that he is a real stoner.
