The Daily Dread
Yesterday
A tin of sardines
In my overcoat pocket
Kitties trail behind
don't burst my bubble
nor puncture my mind membrane
morning message plea
oh so jovial
as we whistle down the path
to our doom by Jove

Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
A tin of sardines
In my overcoat pocket
Kitties trail behind
don't burst my bubble
nor puncture my mind membrane
morning message plea
oh so jovial
as we whistle down the path
to our doom by Jove

First step to create
Is to destroy what once was
Wipe it all away
Ashes ashes all fall down
Says the Phoenix," Nevermore
barely sentient
pugnacious pugilist pawns
poking the people
only following orders
no matter how illegal
butterfly wings fold
to conceal glorious
supreme pink peaches

Was it all a trap
Or a case of careless love
But one knows for sure
Workout climax spent
We languished then lounged as one
In refreshing grove
bodacious bondage
audacious anatomy
prurient combo
Phrazez that Payzez:
Keep your trap shut
A prodigious feat in the proliferation of verbiage
convinced there was a
trap door under the mattress
of my childhood crib
with stairs down to the basement
I searched every night in vain.
08/25/2024
Making the easy ones look hard
Forming the itty bitty little ones
Into hulking big ol sharp shards
Fears, problems, scary bug a boos
Confusing the issues of the day
That's where real money is made
Need what you need
Want what you want
Necessity or whimsy
Knowing the variance
Is wisdom indeed
Daily things I do
Make me a big fan of air
Clean fetishist fan

roving gangs of geese
murder chickens by the pond
crime wave gone a fowl
cooled air roller rink
outside humid August night
cold tempest hot storm
all bets have been placed
good or graft on the table
time to show our hand
All ready to reap
Stinky havoc he'll now wreak
As his reek wafts through
Phrazez that Payzez:
Pinned on the fangs of a cottonmouth.
Buckled like a horseshoe belt.
Turn my gallows walk
Into a pleasant stroll
Remembering things
I didn't notice at the time
One of my only regrets
I think

So many things hurt
I stopped dealing with the pain
Learned to be the pain
presenting my new
improved Spud Deluxe spring sky
potato launcher
From mercurial
To mundane maliciousness
A rogues gallery
Narcissistic Neo Con
Nepo Babies on parade

Pressed into service
New recruitment quota met
They sail at sunrise
Misspell things often
Life's too short to sweat spelling
That's my kind of spell
Only takes a peek
No vigil necessary
To see the abyss
Looming up before us all
Executive malfeasance
South Carolina
Militia invades DC
Fort Sumter Redux?

Memory's embrace
Woe to the misbegotten
Moments to forget
Nature's alchemy
Transforms a once chill plump plum
To a wrinkly prune
Today's talking points:
Semi bionic A.I.
buffoonish retorts

Again found lacking
In all clutch situations
Sir Submission kneels
bad seed germinates
abject moral turpitude
freedom's slow decay

You want a dollar?
Pull down your pants and holler
Internet content
From political cosplay
To shoveled opinion smut
It's a fare for all
Not fair for anybody
Kind of worldwide dare
Pummel my Brummell
Regency era fashion
sense at the rumble
peas porridge hot was
peas porridge cold rain snow in
a pot nine days old
