Just on the cusp of experiencing joie de vivre,
the triumvirate of Crooks and Quade
figuratively swoop down
to announce re: inspection
of apartment unit B44
whenever they deem appropriate.
Thus series of unfortunate events
(linkedin with bull limey
Lemony Snicket bro)
got sidelined nsync with
contracting a minor bout
with deadly Amish Flu
symptoms found garden variety reasonable rhymer
bedridden feeling a little horse and buggy (ha),
incapacitated to craft signature poetry writing.
An honest to dog confession
regarding hiatus spewing forth
vociferous versatile vocabulary
mine words - worth their weight in gold
(told woofer I do not know), nevertheless
included perusing a gamut of reading material.
The passion to engross intellect
witnessed courtesy immersing
attention, concentration, excitation
gratification, intoxication;
knowledge prized more precious
than fine spun gold.
Likewise crafting (albeit painstakingly)
elusive notions that flit
to and fro hither and yon
(analogous to ping pong ball)
within parameters of
microscopically crenellated
sixty plus shades of gray matter
also constitutes fervent interest.
Wavelengths of perfect pitch
Tones whole and mellow
Notes filled with harmony
Seeing through your ultrasound
Complete and very clear
Speaking low and softly
Gently caressing my soul
Your depth of sound
Reaches into my soul
Together an orchestra of love
Apart there's only silences
This day I ask let me be,
Your woofer so all will hear
This sound that has
Captured Me
but it was not that time forgot,
when he went to spend a penny,
a woofer pulling down his pants ,
e said is name was Denny,
but that wasn't quite right,
not any...:) Don
Re: Ruben o "It May Arrive Late -- Revising"
Suicide skeins slick scarred black leather,
bucket seat brains link rust mangled chains,
power-chord blood spattered buzz-saw stains;
catwalk drains Christ dust bled religion,
collision ghost trains, twisted carnage contains
Lucifer’s wings wrapping rotting remains.
Homicide crows wearing sleeves of death metal,
lavender flows cut carotid tied bows,
sub-woofer screams dripping petals of rose;
white wolfish jaws whined sonic corruption,
blind vision arose, faulty monitor snows
onto hellfire graves where the live decompose.
