The empty page of an old sage is what needs to be filled.
To instill peace and then engage in what should not be killed.
The bigger/the richer/the faster the peach,
the better the chance to catch up someone's speech.

Tie one on
Yesterday I went to port
Today I'm going to court
I'm just a sad sailor
And I'm in jail
That's all I know
I never wanted she
trimming my words
I always wanted muse

Heart's window.

PIACEVOLE
It rolls from
the tongue this
agreeable
word
like music
from heaven

Ed said he was a cannibal
How could he be any bolder?
Even so, when he got home late
All he got was the cold shoulder!
a question that needs no answer this example after Shelley's 'Wind'
O mist
If Autumn comes can Winter be far behind?
no more splitting hares
white rabbit's clock is ticking ...
stop passing the buck

she'd listen
missing true love's
gaze
Face
to face-
he'd listen
only hearing
praise.

What goes up
must come down
But can it go back up again?
Hope so, when --
your jaw drops, my friend
Much like compliments, so do condiments
~ bring forth sweet temperaments
Spelling's such a stupid thing
to get freaked out about
Of this, I am very shure
~ In fact, I have no dout
a po-at-tree
can knot one's
toil...letting...
when
th(e)-oughts go
directly to paper
as any po am
stans sand
‘Turbulent Tulips’
cannot be translated to Vietnamese
Neither can
~ ‘Peripatetic Peonies’
I do believe there are too many
Or maybe just a few…too many
To many a few is too many
And to a few too many too few
can't re-assemble
what the forgotten has lost
for to re-member,
memories you must firstly
dis-member them carefully
intellect
not the same as intellectual
I avoid one as if it was tuberculosis
the other I run toward, happy to greet it
coolly conspiratorial confronting commemorative cryosurgery

Say seven words
to send me heavenwards
heavy holiness heats
as the heavens turn
I hope in hell
that you horribly burn
