convinced there was a
trap door under the mattress
of my childhood crib
with stairs down to the basement
I searched every night in vain.

Make me a big fan of air
Clean fetishist fan -
Perched on the next stool
This enigma seemed to me
A shade too cozy
Proceeded to press buttons
That had long been left unpushed -

Gangsters and Banksters take joy
Fleecing has begun
Bribery is legal and
Extortion is a virtue -
Photo by William Warby on Pexels.com the time it takes to
send the moment to my brain
seems to take longer -
while some stay on brand
by being decent humans
others promote their's
with petty small minded cruel
spiteful malicious actions -
he didn't intend
to get that promotion, just
blustered into it -
the first thing you need
is a propeller so you
can propel yourself -
You want a dollar?
Pull down your pants and holler
Internet content
From political cosplay
To shoveled opinion smut -
As I lay sleeping
I conjure rewritten past
Makes it seem better
Gulped off the half shell of me
My rationalization -
suture my succour
on humanities scapegoat
stop the bleeding now -
Wind up media
Watch it spiral down the drain
No more truth for you -
Hefty car door slam
455 engine roars
Four barrel guzzle
Dinosaur bones from before
Buick Skylark GS growls -
The world wound up tight
Like a spring set to be sprung
Dirges will be sung -
Keep the change baby
Change ain't what it used to be
Small change got rained on
Cause he wanted to be king
Links in history's change gang -
Feel a finger
Trace the seam of existence
Savor the recede -
Photo by Mike Bird on Pexels.com the current regime
will fold spindle mutilate
to get it's own way -
susurrus soar through
the corridors of my mind
where howls once echoed -
seems like all the dark
in all the shadows wants to
spill out all at once -
fifty years ago
summer job in factory
room size spring grinder
turntable of tubes
fill all tubes with raw springs
make ends flat to seat
fast pace to keep up
if one sticks in tube tap other
guy and duck under table
sparks fly all around
best motivation ever
to return to school -
lean city sparrow
fat and sassy farm sparrow
tariffs will harrow
