Ribbit

...
Froggy went a courtin',
"Ribbit," he did sing,
altho' singing weren't his thing,
more like the punchline to a joke,
'Please don't smoke or I might croak.'

Slurring at the Elephant in the Room

...How many times have we met? I don't have thick skin
if I were to come under the needle of a vet;

barf would linger on clothes that aren't yet washed

They’d come in a flurr...

The Clock

At MOMA with “The Clock,”*
A cinema montage composed
Of film and TV stock.

Both fixated on puppy dog eyes,

Would soon learn its own tirelessly

For, it was tossed to and fro
By the mighty winds and rain
Until, landing into a field p...

The ropes tighten around the mast of the ship,

Waves rip on the horizon, his realm,
Quartermaster yells "Storm headi...

My sizzling heart failing around the clock
No light colliding with the dark to spark
But essence dying passively through the dim
Dream's wall burning by the fire of terror

Swans do as from water milk draw.
