Now and Then

I have tasted what it is to be free
owning nothing
and owned by no one

I know too well
what it is to love
and not be loved in return

Had I not been a willing participant
in lies and fractured lives
I'd stand blameless before you now

Doomsday Preppers

I guarantee you that when the end does come,
They'll have no shortage of toilet paper

They Might Be Vampires

Their windows have tripled blinds and curtains
The inhabitants wear sunglasses at midnight
In the bowels of their home,
they must keep the altar to Hitler secret,
They might be vampires.

Divers

Divers perceptions can at best be adequate
sometimes. however, the view is screwy on account of faulty optics
sometimes hazy due to conditions of internal drizzle

Reverse the lens around for a second
Are you able to peer any clearer into the labs
of the lab technicians, we who by nature are psychopaths?

F Girl

Filibuster Woman aims to be
the loudest broadcast revelation
of where you don't want to be seen

Filibuster Woman aims to talk you under the table,
can you in a casket, if she can.

Your last great hope is that of the 7 hundred billion atoms,
which constitute the 3-D map of Mapovia
none of these drift over to Filibuster Woman's RIP.

That would be Purgatory,
might even qualify for Hell

The Prisoner

See how long you can keep your mouth from opening
to the ends of  conversing and feeding your face.
Believe me, a smarter choice than suicide.

See how long you can withstand the cold
before the last candle burns out. Believe me,
a superior option to that of committing gluttony.

Almost There

Two distant planes white feather sign
the blue blank page of winter high

Far below, shadow hawk skims the forest
skimming hawk shadows forest.

In every thing, timing is everything
particularly in waiting and waiting to begin.
