You are always staying home
My neighbour muttered
Yes, I always do, I answered.
You are a woman wrapper, he replied.
I like to retire to the comforts of my home
after work,
If so, so be it
I am a woman wrapper
I prefer the company of my wife, than clubbing
and drinking
If so then, so be it.
I am a woman wrapper
I prefer to watch cartoons and help the kids with
their homework and other stuffs.
If so then l am labelled as a woman wrapper.
I am a woman's wrapper, I don't mind
As long as it endears me to our children
I am a woman's wrapper, I Don care
As long as my marital vows are kept.
I am a woman's wrapper as long as
my wife loves me and I love her.
Indeed and in words;
I am a woman's wrapper.

I wish I to be up there
I wish to be down there
I wish have the world in my pocket
I dream with my eye fully opened
wish and dream
I dream being a king
I dream sleeping on golden bed
I dream the world is mine
I wish my dream come true
dream and wish
great peoples are great
for people like us to hate
likes of wrapper and veil
likes of us in the world
wrapper and veil

If the message complex,
the delivery simple
The meaning the magic,
the words zero-sum

I wasn’t looking for love.
She just whispered in my ear.
Couldn’t trust a word she said,
But it sounded so sincere.
Boldness when called for is purpose enough.
Kindness when asked for should not be refused.
But let us consider the question of motives;
What use to be married if not to be used?
I wasn’t pining for love.
I had problems of my own,
But she hooked me from the start
Like a shady payday loan.
Leaves in the gutter, fresh from the fall.
Typical autumn, full moon and all.
Home for the evening, time on my hands,
Flintlock ambitions, gunpowder plans.
I wasn’t yearning for love.
No one ever gets it right.
A smuggler’s moon is what I need,
Not expensive candlelight.
Portraits and landscapes, abstract affairs,
Tokens of lovers’ unanswered prayers.
Burnt toast appointments; not much to miss.
I’ve gotten over worse things than this.
I wasn’t hungry for love.
It should ripen on the vine.
I played the gent by standing up
Got a knife blade from behind.
I wasn't looking for love.

A tiny smear
as wrapper opens
will power
down the drain
silken smoothness
chocolate silk
dark as thunder
smooth as glass
slides down throat
with velvet delight

We were a group of Nerds, there was Kit Kat,
Mike and Ike, I'll never forget handsome Heath ;
and Slo Poke and I was Lemonhead cause I had,
blonde hair, and there was Whatchamacallit who always;
had Goobers.
One Pay Day we won 100 Grand gambling,
at a casino machine called, Milky Way and went on a Spree;
it was a Marathon and we were spending Mounds,
of Skittles until I said, Take 5 before we have;
like Zero.
So me and those Airheads each took our own paths,
for me it was a Rocky Road to happiness until Henry;
O Henry is my Starburst and dream,
he loves me Now and Later and not just because of the;
big money Skor.

Today, his mail order package just came in,
a foreigner wanting to be an American citizen
The price for the privilege has gotten more steep,
the cost for the coach airfare didn’t come cheap
The rich can pay half a mil to get a clean green card,
but poor mail order brides must work their bodies hard
This wife has a husband who likes pimping his brides
Repayment comes in the form of late night date rides
Clients want his candy bride to lustily unwrap,
their sweet tooth craving must be sexually capped
She met an undercover cop, who became her friend
Prostitution was stopped when they took the pimp in
Her tarnished wedding ring got used to make bail
Ex-sex slave bride got a free green card out of jail

what is this i see
a piece of trash lingering next to me
discarded and blue
a wrapper so full of
of memory
of rememberance
of shine and the spectacular
of laughing children
it's so venecaular
because smiling
faces are rearraging
heartful changes
of turning six
and growing up
because this one blue wrapper
is so old and yet so magical
transform a child and let them grow
gifts are pleasent and it's
what this wrapper did unfold
one more year, one more memory
we did see
what i saw, one wrapper
so raw, so plain
thrown away, just discarded
how vain
but it is anything but plain
it's beauty you see
because
it transformed a child and led to happiness
and thats greater then any one thing....
