I had the neurosurgeon do a little utility work in my head

I had the neurosurgeon do a little utility work in my head.
The electricity in there had somewhat gone dead.
And the duct that dripped a driblet of water on my brain ~
she was able to fixed with great industry and pain.
But as to how that foul gas smell got there ~
she was at odds to explain.

As we live, the utility of life becomes like a shadow

As we live, the utility of life becomes like a shadow,
The universe unfolds like a canvas of hidden perfection,
Everything we call useful finds its essence in the eye of the beholder,
Uselessness reveals its value like a pearl in the depths.
To live is to open like a flower to new horizons,
Which expand the soul, enriching it

Samantha the cat and my gas bill

It's cold though sunny, the temperature's twenty,
as Samantha flies out the door..
I try to explain again and again, it's not summer any more..
She opens it wide.
My heat goes outside.
My gas bill will surely soar.
I remind her each day, this utility she will pay,
but all she does is ignore..

I Hate Utility Companies

Utility companies are unforgiving. 
Relentless.
Mean.
Money-grubbing.
Nasty.
Then they add taxes.

Dirty coal tax.
Tuesday wash day tax.
Dog scratching tax.
Garbage day tax.

Always adding to your bill.
Never letting up.
I hate utility companies.
Others do too.

But can we eliminate them?
Apparently not.

Utility of Sickle Women

When Women Like a Sickle
Women are not from a rib or bones 
Nor curved or crooked 
You need a metaphor to understand truth 
Said a sage his name is Aristotle
Don’t straight a stick 
Or make a spoon flat 
They will be broken and become useless 
If a woman appears like an angle 
Or looks like

Utility

You need not to be so big 
Or so great 
That people could touch you 
And could not get your fruits 
The shade vanishes into air 
In the way of falling upon the heads scorching 
From the height of the place you reside 
And the breeze you produce 
Lost its force 
For whom it is

Utility

A blank page a hollow one 
Its plainness sickening 
A page without a scribble is faceless 
Without a story or experience behind it 
Nothing for emulation  
But with a little colour or few words
Life is breathed into it 

So is a life without direction
And a drive to push for change 
For life isn’t a

Utility

Night flowers abloom
And joy without new perfume
Hills lit with houses

No light in the room
His breathing guides where she feels
She snuggles to him 

Wait until the fall
The fawn suckles at the breast
Making milk in spring

This stag brown in leaves
Will invisible exist
Till feelings touch him
