worldwide levels of
the milk of human kindness

The cosmic catfish
Turned violet under it’s log
Trouble was afin

The glide in my stride
The cut in my strut told all
My next bounce was nigh

You’re the film exposed to light
Be the paper of your life
the taste of a steak
cooked on my old charcoal grill
flavor moooooves me still
from a furtive glanceto glancing blow use the chance to view each askance
Groomed in the sixtiesFor draft in the seventiesNation said, “Nevermind.”
My last found loverCan seduce like no otherHer special allureTurns my awkward blue chatterTo slutty sapphire banter
A fresh layer snow
What prints shall we leave this time
History tracks us
Few that I call friendOver time fewer still hearBattles fought each yearEven when they were long lostStill grateful to see you near
freeze the frieze in timecaptured on a viaductor just graffitimy breathing routinecreative on the intake
exhale productive
balanced on the crustof economies pie chartdebt magnet pulls me
walls made of our stuffstacked in cattywampus rowsselfmade labyrinth
The fool swayed on stageWhile the fools lapped it all up“I don’t need you fools”“I’ve fooled enough already”As the fools all fell in line
where inerrant meetsaberrant that’s vanityshifting abhorrent
recalling the viewwhen I started lifetimes slide“wheeeee!” been quite a ride
How is glorifiedconfirmation bias sold?In bunches of hunch.
I guess this is proofBad ideas never endThey just hibernate
digital puckerwith musk bezos and zuckerpotted flesh for themgreased with their filthy lucrecanned spam American scam
Peek through lace curtainsNow tattered shredded and stainedSee chaos inside
I have to remindmyself to remember thethings I’ve forgotten
A glimmer of hope
Not on the menu today
Just cold grumpy gruel
I turn today’s pageTo get on with tomorrow’sBlue plate du jour rage
Nascent ruin for mostMimicry of the lifestyleRich and shameless ruseBlatantly picking pocketsSelling we can be like them
When the gift of girthDelivers mountains of mirthFor all of its worth
start of day snugglefinger tips wander delightstrace the path to more
Donning the sable
Self righteous posturing gone
Malfeasance galore
spare me your fiat
relationship currency
I want to barter
All smoke and savor
Wafting up from our altars
Leaving ash behind
