a goat wears a suit
a rat sits on a chair

an eraser, pink, shaped like Tennessee
Which of these is truth?
Answer quickly or fall to hell!...

Electricity one said,

At once,I say none,

But pen-

The Key World opener!...

Facts we look upon,
And the apparent truth we observe,
Depend upon forgone,
Opinion that we reserve,
And is perhaps not what’s deserved.

hens.  I picture hot chicken soup on.  
I put on spectacles, 
cut off his testicles; 
now, use-ter be rooster's my capon....

I put on my spectacles
Now I see clearly

The Science teacher told his eager class
"Alas, I can’t read without my eye glass
In rest room, left my testicles"
What he meant was ‘spectacles’
The children broke into laughter en masse...

            rose      
           tinted
        spectacles
masks warts and all
   except I suppose
   the fine fragrance
          of an old
            english
               rose...

The face is very generous 
Like a philanthropist,giving 
The top to hat to sit on head 
Both eyes to a pair of spectacles  
To mask the nose just center 
Beard to long down to chest
What space left behind to face?...

A stained teacup sits sadly in the sink
Ashes of a past fire grey the hearth
An unread newspaper, old man's spectacles
A packet of mints lay on the scratched surface
Of a beeswaxed table
Waiting for Thomas Ryan to return...

My heart beats forth
Energies brilliants
Destinies worth
Unimaginable
Rallies forth spectacles
Springs forth awesome bright
My heartbeats light-life

When a chickie says “I can handle it” what comes to mind
Bet you think she's ready for all comers, a go-er defined
What do you mean suggestive
Depends on your perspective
New spectacles will help to admire her yummy behind...

Again I’ve lost my spectacles,
The ones I need- to see.
I’ve felt my head and more than once,
Conclude they not on me.

They are the worst; to try and find
Seeking can cause troubles…
How to find a single pair-
When all you see is doubles?...

I got new spectacles and it is pleasant,
The crystalline glasses shields my eyes from its rivals,
Its assets augment my sight,
Its wide frame broadens my vision of the environment,
And its reflecting skills hide my hopeless eyes.

In your spectacles, 
Should I try them on. 

I see more than I 
Want, what I need
Is your labido. 

Caressing my 
Insides are you 
Family Man. 

And worshipping
Something unobtainable
Is my consolation prize. 

Yet, I always end up
Taking last place....

The nameless 
in their ranks of cubicles
faces lit by a visual display,
numbers, 
reflected in spectacles
a list to be picked, 
like ripe cherries;
the soft flesh consumed
the empty pit spat out,
discarded.
The nameless;
harvesting
the nameless....

Thoughts floating, surrounding reality with its own unique voice. Keeping your focus distracted from the on goings of this life. Little spectacles of imagination & words, images, meanings of today's, yesterday's, and tomorrow's constant reminders of little clouds of thought ........

A closer gaze
Yet they see not
A keener look
Clarification not found
What is to be
To see this bleakness
Cataract covering up their eyes

They couldn't see
What traitors around

Spectacles!
Spectacles of the mind
Let lenses be attached to their eyes
All they need is spectacles...

Parrot the Catechist
preaches to the unconverted
talks in Latin to impress the ignorant
patiently listening to innocent souls
tells stories never has been heard
in tree-cathedral, wears spectacles
to look highly learned and respected
when priest comes in cassock
flies into hiding to save face...
