Look at the tubes sticking in me.

Now I am dying.

Found his wherewithal did not thaw
He went by the book
So his feathers shook
But aroused his mother-in-law

Ten Little Indians

You perfected your lies to an art.
You succeeded in breaking my heart.
I shed not one tear,
for the hour is near,
when arsenic will keep us apart.

Ten Years

I wake up
Aroused
As usual.
I sleep alone
I rush
To the shower
My stick-shift
Still in 
The first gear
It is the same
Damn 
Thing
For ten years.

I asked a young child
What she dreams doing later?
Watching her with pets
She answered, right away
I’m just a kid, I don’t know

Ten Words Beginning With A

An agnostic already all assuming about
Antiquated adulating adulterated arrogance.

So who can you describe with words
all beginning with the same letter?

And all can now see
Just how you and me

Sailed away on a ship called hope,
then life was full of fun.
Hurricane Regret capsized us,
clouds covered the sun.  
I clung to hope.
