My Blank, The Blank
My blank
is THE blank
It is the best blank
of all
No other blank
can hold a candle
to my blank
The simplest reason
is this one for sure
It is my blank
It is my blank
and your blank
should always be
the best blank
for you

Many Worlds Undone
If everything is
then everything is not
for nonexistence
is a state of existence
and that would seem
in the most extreme
to rip a big black gaping hole
right through the middle
of science, philosophy
and reality
because–poof!!

Black Hairy Words on White Water
We are all
floating mystery boxes
filled with unique
personal scars
deep damage
mostly
tucked away from view
askew(ed)
Locked up tokens
mementos of the before times
not necessarily good
but better
than flashing sparks
of ironic plagues
skipped over in the flowing waters
of love
and loss
life
and the soy sauce
because IT chooses YOU
Anger and grief
utter disbelief
stone cold replicas
of hermit crabs
without their shells
it’s the hell we all achieve
we all perceive
We all perceive
from the inside-out
We create by holding on
or destroy by letting go
Yeah, you know
and now that it’s penned
it doesn’t much matter when
because John died at the end

Zombies
Spring crept in alone
proliferating colors
out of last year’s fall

The Giveaway
Seemingly chipper today
I wait
for raw nerves to compel
my innermost demon
to screamin’
I smile and greet
each character with a smile
ever polite
from grace and style
on this darkened stormy day
with my allergies
in the swollen pain
of rotting joints
a twisting spine
and piercing migraine
Hiding the status quo
here I go
painted on patience
out of my way to say
“Have a beautiful day!”
A sincere wish
under facade
until becomes real
this pleasant charade
