Pressed on perforated lines by a lonely playmate
Affiance instant, folding fingers christen simulate
Phantasm button nose, rosebud lips, locks flaxen
Escapist catalogues outfits alphabetically, all prim
Repairs rapid, creases cease, orchestrated by him
Dependable quotidian, fix fold away any faults
Origami girl gives empathy, mouth without insult
Lilliputian with ripped ringlets, rested submissive
Lets crafter cover stiff corners with sterile kisses
Thirtieth of April
Thoughts overpower actual

R-ising sun from the east
E-clipses the night shadows;
C-old chill and deep darkness
H-ave been replaced by glows.
E-arly sun from the east
L-ends the warmth and light;
L-ife receives the blessings,
E-verything is set aright.
V-iew on October thirtieth
A-ims to make your eyes pleased;
L-et them behold the beacon,
L-ook at the sun from the
E-ast.

In May the year of 1912 Albert left his home in Lyon.
He made his way to ecole Sommer at Genever's Mourmelon.
In June, with circuit d'Anjou done, and with his engineer,
Albert deployed a newer engine, with eighty horse power thrust.
Leon Bathiat, colleague and friend that really he should trust
and himself a brilliant pilot, begged Albert not to try.
But on the 9th of June, while first ascending to the sky,
some say they saw a wing detach, and fighting roller coaster loops
watched plane and men fall tumbling from the sky.
Barely in his thirtieth year Albert, with his engineer,
was destined then to die.
Those daring men In their flying machines sought fame and early fortune.
Grand oncle Albert was also one, Grand oncle Albert Louis,
Affectionately known to my father as oncle Albert Louis, 'Kiki.'

J-anuary thirtieth morn
E-rases the gray and blue;
L-et the shadows fade,
L-et the dark depart from
Y-ou.
A-llow the Sunday to pass,
L-etting Monday light shine;
F-ill your heart with mirth,
A-nd thrill to your mind.
N-ew dawn brings warmth
T-o the wide skyway;
E-levate your every step, as you use the stairway.

The present once noted,
is really the past
A thirtieth of a second,
perception if fast
Most people are slower,
the flash that accepts
What our psyche affirms
—now gone and reset

C-omforting the saddest nook.
A-pril thirtieth Sunday,
L-onely dusk is gone;
E-ach cloud turns white,
S-ee the break of dawn.

R-iver of tears that runs
H-as drowned many a heart;
O-n the thirtieth of May,
D-on't let your dream fall
A-part.
A-s you feel the pain inside,
R-iver of tears overflows;
I-n spite of the grief,
B-liss blooms like a rose.
A-llow the sun to shine, after the rain disappears;
S-mile with a glowing grin to dry the river of tears.

Sometimes
At three AM
On my fourth redbull and my second coke
When the dumbass on the conveyor belt put the bin in backwards for the thirtieth time and I want to kill him
I watch the bugs gathered ‘round the lightbulb
And think
At least I’ve got more time than them.

R-efrain from making mistake,
H-ighway of wrong is gray;
O-nward to the right path,
N-ever ever walk
A-way.
M-ake no mistake
A-pril thirtieth Sunday;
E-rrors come from the devil to let you go astray.
E-arnestly learn to know the truth,
B-ecause it won't let your heart break;
O-pen your life to correct choice, refrain from making mistake.

R-each and touch the zenith
O-ctober thirtieth day;
Y-our moment has come as you get out of gray.
M-ake it high toward zenith
A-fter the rain has gone;
N-ew morn that breaks
Z-ealously meets the dawn.
A-llow the beacon to rise,
N-ow that you aim underneath;
O-pen your wings to soar, reach and touch the zenith.
