When asked
The traffic rider
That streetwise acrobat
How
He knew without a prior
When a driver would do that
This performer replied
Spinning
With some pattern recognition
After long
Is spun
Into chaos intuition...

In a contest between the stupid and the smart
In a contest between the stupid and the smart,

Ruckus At Clyde's Bar
Big fight
Last night
Clyde's Bar
Bizzare
Tough guys

Blank pages
Wait for clever pens
To write stories and verses
Beyond the bare mind
Sparks of star light
Wait for a ready lifeforce
To ignite a hellmouth fire
Beyond the ordinary self
