In the cramped font room we’d sit and stare
At the telly on the blink needing care.
With a slap on its head,
While the cussing instead
Was more entertaining than the fair.

In times of impending demise, you might see your life being replayed across your mind. Sometimes it’s in fast forward, sometimes in slow motion, sometimes both at once. Life flashes in random order, constantly cycling in and out like an out of control tilt-a-whirl at the county fair. You’d think that with all those moments stuck on a playback loop that one would walk away with perfect recall of all the events. Not true. You can remember things like the first time you pooped in your diaper and that piece of Bazooka Joe bubble gum you pocketed when you were ten years old. Every detail, no matter how small or insignificant will come flooding back. But what the heck just went down, draws a complete blank.
when death feels certain,
life flashes by in seconds—
don’t regret the show

Hear that?
Of course you can...it's for your ears
It's the sounds of love juices flowing through my veins
Through my heart, through my soul
Exiting...for you
And...

Thump! thump!
Thump! Thump!
Why must you jump;
Jump jump stop;
Hump hump;
Git off that trunk;
when you see me;
You clutch purses hold your pockets;
You come a running;
It's not about you but yet you go running scared to touch to embrace your brother;
Humming saying screaming wandering what you going to do;
Don't don't come on In Reckless dividing running from me Heidi hi Heidi ho;
Wha'cha runnin away from me fo;
You come beside me;
Wanted me to relish your perfect body;
Wow what's inside of me;
The lust of luxury;
It's not about you or any other is all about the money--
I rebuke thee;
Yet you still pursue me I'm running still;
Trying to keep up with you at will come where!;
Hump!
Hump!
The meaning of wild animal procreated;
Wild men being pursued and persuaded;
Yet you have breath and you live your life what is left;
You're right on Horizon you're in class fail the test;
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Don't thump thump thump heartbeat has died
Must be alive I can feel my chest my nostrils flare I must have breath
I am alive

Donald J. Trump gave the market a bump
"My financial smarts made all the stocks jump!"
Then he bet on the Wall
Let the government stall
Now this chump's made the market go thump!

With a click and a clack our seat belts were on,
Then the thump of the closing door,
And the key turned slow in the hole that it owned,
Then the engine, it let out a roar.
Our tyres screeched free as we sped out of town,
As we fled across hills painted green,
We took nothing, zip, nought, no food, no bags,
Nope nothing, not even sunscreen.
Four hours went whoosh when we drove straight ahead,
Drove to the beach bright and blue.
There we stood in the waves, just stood and relaxed,
We’d escaped for the day. You should too....

Thump, thump, thump,
I can hear the choppers
They are inbound
Med Evac
Another day in the bush
Another man down
I throw out a flare
It’s a hot LZ
Small arms fire
From a sniper
In a tree
Sitting in front of the TV
I watch the war
In full HD
I can see the fear
The talking heads
Say we are losing the war
The minds and souls
Are not on our side
We are the invaders
Sent to enforce democracy
Not necessarily to practice it
Thump, thump, thump,
The mortar rounds closing in
Wish I were anywhere but here
Skipper looks worried
As the radio squawks
Unfriendlies are inside the wire
Lock and load
It’s going to be a long night
I wish those talking heads
Were here to fight
Hope I’m still here
At first light
I put on my slippers
And head off to bed
Not knowing the truth
But feeling so dead
Leeches and communist
Are sucking me dry
I wish Ho Chi Minh
Had never been born
Stalin and Hitler
Just bad dreams
From the blue
I sleep in a fog
Next to my dog
Outside my window
There’s a sound
In the fog
Thump, thump, thump, thump …
