Short Tort Poems

First day
No way

Lost book
He took

No good
A hood

Bad thief
My beef

Loud shout
Found out

Poor schnook
A crook

In court
Have tort

No bail
In jail

Too bad
Not sad...

So hailed a once sophistic court -


                    Dealt and felt, their mordant tort ...


If e'er the fount divulged its queen,


                    From seeping wrists ... what might have been....

Palate of my art
A blank page
So dark
The velvet blackness
Of naught
Caught my frustrations
So fraught
With turbid 
Thought
To free oneself
Of constructed
Tort
To feel
My self
My pen
My thoughts
Express it
With self-colour
An Echo
To bounce
Upon
This page...

With this tourniquet tort
And an afternoon spent
A half empty receptacle
Is substance over breath.

And when the wind blows
Against blemish and reason
I'll slightly dismember
And re-curl with no recognition.

A bitter sweet current
Divides and it portions
Although today i will love you
Tomorrow may be without feeling....

Ardency is the drive of life,
Beings journey in it vehicle.
For the rumination of thoughts,
The hunger race is infinite.

Ideas conceived are perceived,
Concepts are boundless,
Notions are yet born,
That man's itch is immeasurable.

Insatiablilty pervades the air,
Taste rises,
Hunger inflicts - and,
Cravings to be served is intense.

Man shouldn't be by bread alone.
Today thinks not,
For all seek to yield - to,
Their endless tort yens....

Bob’s accident was not "too" bad;
young lady with both legs broken.
Driving on drugs, he’s ultra rad;
“Go to Rehab,” judge has spoken.
Meanwhile... she goes to rehab too;
Bev learns to walk again, wahoo.

When laws and legs guys freely break,
what’s “legit” walks off the pages.
Their lawyers give this bellyache, 
“We don’t put addicts in cages!”
Meanwhile... last time Bob tests a tort,
Bev appears as lawyer in court.

Je blâme tu
Je vraiment faire
Chaque cligner
et chaque tort
entames the immense chagrin
parce que demain ne venir jamais
cruex nues
Le soleil reluire pas plus
Vous Gauche je avec non choix
Je suis si seul

I blame you
I really do
Each blink
and each wrong
Begins the heartbreak
because tomorrow will never come
Empty clouds
The sun shines no more
You left me with no choice
I am so alone

fatigue et si froid
debarrasser de eperer

Tired and so cold
Rid of hope...
