Straddle

It started with a fever

Fifty years ago or so

Raged at a fevers pitch

Seared to an embers core

An extended fever dream

A fiery consuming ditch

Dug through my epoch seam

As years passed unseen

Gave way to nightly sweats

Low grade daylight fever flight

Fancies flooded daylight hours

Then one day not so long ago

Half century fever broke

Shattered what was within

Shattered all that was without

Leaving only dreams of night

Displayed for none to see

To straddle my flâneur days

A gentleman of leisure

If you please

Sleeping in many days

Baby sleep and fever free

Commando

Underwhere

I mumbled

While practicing

My thousand yard stare

Overthere

What

Why are they always a pair

Who

Underwhere

No

Underwear

Oh

I didn’t care

Even if they have a tear

From being caught in my snare

Because

Underwear presupposes

Overwear

Since I knew I had a spare

I supposed I could wear

My underwear over my underwear

Inventing overwear

Overwhere

No

Overwear

Pointless perhaps

High fashion for others

But I still won’t share

Because the fare

Is just not fair

Now back to playing Commando Bear

Scamper Splatter

Craiyon

I confirm

Parts of my life

Deliver mementos

That make me squirm

From toxic

Moments

I affirm

Motions

Choices

Of a term

■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□

Never fear

Pitter patter

Scamper splatter

Motion smear

To be clear

Those pounding

Footsteps you hear

A running dive

To self immersing

That pays the fare

■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□

Causing a row

Sloshing basin

Filled to the brim

With what I sow

Paraffin bathing

Coated shiney

Head to toe

Emerging bow

With crystal clean

Purest of pure

Dripping now

Carve

👻

Slice away hollow all hallows disguise of fear

Where pumpkins grin

While humanity plans sin

Tricks and treats all beat their feet

Through urbane humanities urban street

Foolish fantastical ways of thinking

Gunna get them something sweet to eat

Still the strong eat the meat

While the meek all retreat

Carve through realties flimsy costume veneer

👻
