Sneak to Reek
Sneak to Reek
Every time I look away,
the storm sneaks in
another step.
I see a flash in
the periphery
out of sight.
I feel a tremble
a tumble, a rumble
in the air.
The storm hushed heralds
it's there.
Rollings in relentless,
all powerful,
unstoppable,
ignorable,
reticent,
and strangely shy.
Inevitable,
the storm
sneaks in,
to reek
and come on
by.

Trying to Sneak Away for a Bit of Fun
Loud crazy-sounding hullabaloo in the center of town
Carnival? Fiesta? Mobsters? Balloon-shaping clown?
We could not wait for our parents to slumber
Creeped out of our windows, hid behind piles of lumber
Ran down there to see whatever mischief we could
The square was empty except for a lone pile of pine wood
Our parents’ cameras had shown them what we

In the mystery of the night, when stars sneak stealthily through the branches
In the mystery of the night, when stars sneak stealthily through the branches,
nothing has changed, and the body, that ephemeral vessel, still knows how to weep,
susceptible to pain, like a flower under the burden of cold,
the sky hums its eternal song, and we, prisoners of breath,
with thin skin and blood boiling beneath it, are but

My Baby Done Put Me Out
Its early morning and my baby she done put me out.
(She done put me out now, ya hear?)
Its early morning and my baby hung me out.
(Hung me out to dry, last summer sun.)
Its early morning and I tried to take me a ride.
(Alright.)
Its early morning and I'd try to go for a ride.
I'm a tight-roping

Sneak Preview of the 'Big Debate'
My opponent will destroy democracy
But my opponent will normalize hypocrisy
My opponent pays hush money to whores
Well, my opponent snoozes in meetings and snores
My opponent’s in

Cancer Big 'C'
Cancer, the big 'C',
Do you think you mean anything to me?
My Uncle has got you,
You've taken my beautiful daughter too.
But while I am able I will continue to fight,
And I will fight you with every bit of my might.
Slowly we are finding new ways,
To get rid of you and we will make sure you finally

Take a sneak peek
Flickers in the void reveal,
what space attempts to conceal,
that we’re encased in its womb,
entrapped in a catacomb.
All realms dual are thought forms,
for soul to learn through fierce storms
and then return to God’s light,
that shimmers through space, so bright.
To see this truth with our eyes,
is known when our ego dies,
for since we’re not body-mind,
we see when

POTUS Joe Biden
met Vladimir Kremlin
said, 'Show me your wares if you dare'
Whereupon Vladimir Kremlin
unleashed a gremlin
grinning atop nuclear hardware
Not to be outdone
Joe had a plan
whipped out a fierce water gun
Said, 'Come here, Vlady Kremlin

In Darkness
In the darkness, I am shapeless.
Formless I slink through the gloom.
Witness, for a moment, death near.
Your breath is deep in its tomb.
In the darkness, you are helpless,
Senseless and fearful forlorn.
Blind to what’s within deep shade,
Displayed in expression adorned.
Your heart beats quicker in darkness,
Your hardness and will are undone.
Looking in shadows for demons;
The legions are really

The Creepy Sneak
He's older than dirt and should be dead
but yet he keeps walking around filling us with dread
wears the same dark hooded outfit everyday
showing fashion is not quite his forte
You would think he was a track field racer
because his sneakers get worn out on a daily basis
I bumped into him at Shoe Carnival last May
taking advantage
