Moonlight Metaphors

...In the morning,
I am not a poet.
This is no matter of opinion,
It is an undisputable fact, and don't I know it.

I am not a poet
In the afternoon, either.

Consuming Compassion

...Natural compassion,

and right hemisphere contagious.

Perhaps also like hate
(fortunately I know less about this 
journey in misfortune)

Pregnant Nonparalysis

...In feminist political analysis,
when not stuck
in all day systemic paralysis,

Every win/win

Dear Nationalist Republicans

...I'm worried

your favorite deceptively entertaining

There's no man duller
