it tinkers the mind

this feather drifting through me

on its way to you...

A great cook is one who wears blinkers
With recipes one never tinkers
There are a few
Who dare and do
But results are usually stinkers...

A funeral dirge
Victrola dies mid-sentence
Edison tinkers

They still label us as gipsies and tinkers

but it is them with the blinkers

everyone is a migrant

and our culture is vibrant

let us not forget about Treblinka

Put This Puppy To Bed

Kim Jung-Un of North Korea's shame
Tinkers with missiles in his grim game 
Whatsoever in his head 
Can he just put it to bed
So that earth doesn't wake up aflame

without the whirl
of a happy sound
too quiet the fan

the dim lighting
lacking air
sans morning sun

thoughts stifled
with buzzing
the sweat pouring

breezeless tease
dreams of
Winters cloak

the loudness
of the tinkers
like bells

Seek subtle spheres
Stream sublime swing
Spread surplus spheres


Bright blossoms bright
Bridge booming brink
Blast bearing blight


Taste testing think
Thought thrilling thing
Touch tinkers think


Spread sexy sting
Bright bursting brink
Soft subtle sting

Love is a sickness of the sweet kind
that undoes ratiocination,
that makes a kiss from a thing of flesh
into a thing of omnipotence,
that kills and gives breath concurrently,
that tinkers with the fine numbers of the heart
and makes it quick to fall...

but the world is shaky anyways.
So, if we must fall,
what beats in love?...

The thinkers, vagabonds, creators, songwriters, dreamers
The tinkers, builders, inventors, musicians and schemers,
Running in their minds are ideas that jump outside each box.
They are wild and zany, rivaling the soul of a fox.
Rest of the world sits back in fear of their confidence and mirth.
They are the happiest, most joyful, enthusiastic people on earth....

When the walls clear,
there in breeze
is the realization
that it was indeed Jake,
still young in his way,
not understanding
that there is no mistake.

And Ford Perfect?
Well, She was no fake.
Either.
Never read the book,

So I made up
my own characters.

Is that so bad?
It really is all
in my head.

But I don't think
that it was me
who blinked.
Mighta winked,
though.

And I'm a thinker...
I can't help
that my mind tinkers,
with the Uni.verse.
It spoke first....
