Though we disagree
About this country’s problems
And about the solutions
We both remain patriots!
Bussokusekika
Among Us
There is lots of room
in which all of us may dwell
here between God and Satan…
even our politicians.
Close Encounters of the Cluster-B Kind
Darlin’, how I wish
you’d treat your costume jewelry
like they were all precious gems;
not the other way around!
Preemptive Requiem
Should I die today,
I trust that you’ll imagine
All the things I’d have to say.
Except, perhaps, I love you.
Open Mouth Insert Foot
There are times, my friends,
it’s better to be silent
than to just shoot from the hip,
saying any old damned thing
that springs to a senile mind!
He and His Glasses Case!
Look! Possessive Squirrel!
Dragging his bed place to place.
Material contagion.
Oh God, what hath humans wrought?
A Tangle But No Tumult
Basking in the balm
of this fire sale we lit,
ashamed at my schadenfreude,
yet still gleeful, all the same.
Pie In The Sky
If you want the moon,
Then bloody ask for the moon!
Demanding sun and stars too,
Nets you naught but resentment!
Internal Locus Lost
What Narcissism!
Forgetting how to control
both temper and car,
he lays heavy on his horn
trying, vainly, to control
actions of other drivers.
A Matins Prayer
Must there be drama
to christen every morning?
Can’t we vow and endeavor
to enjoy a silent dawn?
Dawning Awareness
By sunrise first rays
Treetop branchlets a glisten
While upon the forest floor
We remain deep in shadow
Dyspepsia
This delightful meal
Shattering at intervals
By excessive cacklings
Of bored housewives faking mirth.
Civil Disobedience
This Election Day
Exercise uncivil rights.
Go drink his cup of coffee
Then cast your vote for the girl.
Ageless Trifectae
Ahhh! Teen age angst,
Existential misery,
And a crappy attitude.
Adolescent trifecta!
~
Ahhh! Middle Age angst,
Existential misery,
And a huh-how attitude.
Middle Age trifecta!
~
Geriatric angst,
Existential misery,
And… uhhh… what was I saying?
Oh well. It doesn’t matter.
