The Daily Dread



amazing how those
that live in glass houses are
casting the first stone



So much potential
Squandered through indifference
To the right to vote



strewn about petals
land where they will by kismet
framed my first rose bed



Each crack in the stone
The potential to yield
A rose to harvest

The Daily Dread



Combustion engine
Waste elements exhausted
Out the backend pipe



It's hard to contain
My indifference to some things
A very long list



Having ambition
Be the whale in the puddle
Is all some folks want



Phrazez that Payzez

"I'm a loan officer at a bank.
It's my job to get people to buy
things they can't afford."

The squeak of sneakers echoed from the palatial volleyball court, causing ripples in His Nibs gravy boat. The feast was commencing. Most of that viscous lumpy brown swill had not yet splattered His Grotesquerie’s person as it soon would. He was fumbling over the jigsaw puzzle of specialty silverware when the servant with the wrist orchid put the matter to rest.

had to devour
the bearable claws and all
I was so hungry



shame to devour
accrued goodwill in one bite
stuffed down greedy maw



I'll keep taking bites
Out of the grave apple til
Chomping on the core



Phrazez the Payzez

Whisper it into the ear of a duck
and it will eventually get to me.

The Daily Dread



how can one person
embody all the vile things
found in one nation



A plain brown wrapper
Sent via the Post Office
Retro Only Fans



This years harvest time
May be strictly DIY
So happy pickin'



Flapping wings above
The spector of a sparrow
Now casts doubt about
A harvest of happiness
When hope had a common goal



Do people with no intelligence
Lean on artificial intelligence
To try and look smarter


It's artificial
So artifactual clone
Copy and pasting
Losing presupposed vigor
Of purported intellect

The Daily Dread



Willow in the wind
Flowing dance to nature's call
Shameless shimmy shake



Horrid little thing
Squeezed out of its hardened shell
I know how to fix
Butter garlic and some bread
Special plate with little pits



Only time will tell
If only I could tell time
Mind your own business



when selling power
meets stern buying resistance
art of the squeal



Some very smart people
Believe some very dumb things

The Daily Dread



Doorway cracks open
Rusty hinges creak and groan
Wait! I brought lube. [SLAM]



High bathroom window
Climb in only to receive
Terlet foot plunge prize


read it in a book
heart is a lonely hunter
so it must be true



Sardine loves packed house
Lonely little fishy when
solo in a tin

The Daily Dread



Occupied city
Don't trip the light fantastic
Just duck and cover

trip over my own
words only to land flat on
the page once again



Once we had a chance
But the entitled want it back
So back to serfdom we go
They now have rowboats
To fight their arbitrage wars



the deathly pall of
crimson chill spreads over once
free and happy folks



A chill in the air
A nip in the bud of life
A change's a comin'



Spicy absolutism
A bad case of blazer raid throat


Two little boys scream
Menaced by a bumble bee
Under Gary's porch

Eventually
Gary's mom comes out to see
Shooed away the bee

Shakes her head at us
With great disdain for the boys
Such little babies

The Daily Dread



two or more voices
offend aural dissonance
in sweet harmony


Kind of hard to tell
The genuine article

finally found it
the genuine article
Foaming Pleroma
for the closest shave ever
with Great Archon's straight razor



Nature's harmony

From the grill chamber
Song of the Abalone
Kelp forest rock screams

The Daily Dread



some barely conscious
of IRL surroundings
subsumed all day while
partaking of violent games
ingesting haughty delights



Open eyes receive
Open ears and minds absorb
Harvest stimuli


I met the new moon
Just the same as the old moon
Shadow creep display


In new moon dreaming
I harvest my conscious thoughts
Til sunrise bird song



Phrazez that Payzez

Anguished product of my own individuation.

The Daily Dread



Sometimes
I listen to audio books
To go to sleep
Or back to sleep
Last night it was
The Rig Veda

Commenced to dream
Of an Indian man
Following me around
While I did some editing
Getting frustrated
At the things
He was spouting
In my ear

Received wisdom
Or irritation

Be the reading.

No search stork. No maths
Raw dogging Wordle daily
Consonants and vowels



Best licks behind me
Riff needs a resolution
Gliss home with grace notes




Small mind lockstep marching
Foolish incontinence
Consistently choked down
Hobgoblins to pursue
Shoveled down open gobs
Implementing cruel tools
Indecent abattoir
Foul administration
Arbitrary abuse
Of once precious power



Swirl, the haiku stork
Best stir for morning mind drops
arbitrary prompts
