The Daily Dread


memory held in
my private buffer is dear
to who I am now


missing the days when
the Wrigley Field ivy
was the main feature
not the slick corporate shill show
picking pockets of the fans



the clever swallow
flees a looming snow drift for
the southern sunshine

The Daily Dread


Bohemian tart
Free spirited confection
Boho under glass



A festive sweater
Holly leaves and red berries
Holiday hairshirt


no holly berries
in the stew for you boho
you'll thank me later



With crown of holly
Boho - chic freewheeling ways
Profuse chick magnet
The season to be jolly
Ho Ho Fa-la-la-la-laaaa

The Daily Dread


Wondrous Biscuit bounce
Holiday expectations
Buttery fracture



Sad dark cloud tears up
Reaching quota rationed woe
Waterfall due soon



Something to behold
After years at the grindstone
Times left unfinished
Many, quick, apogee scores
By this diamond in the rough



Deep split fracture fare
Conjures full force waterfall
Hasty apogee

The Daily Dread


Phrazez that Payzez

Explicit comfort
Feasible joy

Gwyneth Paltrow hawks
Her personal star fragrance
In candle format 👃



mesmerizing drop
gravity revealed what
garment once concealed




we're all complicit
in the illicit actions
taken in our name




want feasible joy
from an illicit drop of
fragrance of a star
a guaranteed wash over
of pure explicit comfort

The Daily Dread


everything's okay
until it isn't can be
a bit of a stretch



being correct gives
lIttle consolation when
dumpster fires take
all the oxygen away
from candles of decency



take breadth of a breath
remember the cool evening
we spent together



Focus on the breath
Stretch your awareness inward

The Daily Dread


A skulk of foxes
A cowardice of curs

had it up to here
she claimed enough was enough
yet wanted more stuff



thumb typed gibberish
will never be the equal
of a well crafted
elegant soliloquy
thoughtfully spoken out loud



Dropping from up north
Mister Carrington sunspots
Wild iris ray blooms

The Daily Dread


Changeling diversions
Quiz all quislings endlessly
The poison will out



Chroma was solid
But the hue was all askew
Mangled magenta



Green Leaves the folk song
1580 toe tapper
Do you mean Greensleeves?



Magenta the Clown
on "Desolation Quiz Show"
as hue challenged host

The Daily Dread



reading between things
augury plus intention
tendered union bliss



rapture unwraptured
gifts under the Christmas tree
dangling ornaments



take caution under
turbulence of augury
loose dangling berries
perilous frivolity
scary December cherries

The Daily Dread



I love the smell of regret in the morning


Dementia pen signs
Cue belly laughs and guffaws
Joker has no clue


weaving through the rot
slithering vespertine soul
no coherent thought



Shaved Ice got rained on
By his sharp jagged edges
Deli cold cut gash



the joker juncos
yucking it up watching the
vespertine vermin
pardoning rich criminals
while wallowing in their slops



"Death is a debt to nature due
Which I have paid and so must you"

Gravity's Rainbow-Thomas Pynchon

The Daily Dread


current regime wants
to drown the public in dark
aphotic news zone
where no light sheds on their path
to enrich their shellfish selves



A dangerous game
I presume the position
See if she approves



cold night and day here
in the aphotic zone but
no flies I presume
