Ratty.
Full of holes.
Ripped.
Torn.
Threads loose.
Smelly.
Dirty.
Still used.
Ratty.
Full of holes.
Ripped.
Torn.
Threads loose.
Smelly.
Dirty.
Still used.
The bed is made for dreaming.
Worrying.
Wandering.
Thinking.
Listening.
The mind floats
As the eyes begin to close
And the body rests.
Crooked Stile
Walked a mile.
My cat is furious
I fixed her serious.
The chips
have no dip
about to flip.
Rhymes are dumb
Now I am numb.
Comfort is key.
Luxury a bonus.
Friendship vital.
Financially free.
Politics forbidden.
The world awaiting.
Just me and my thoughts, emotions calming.
Harmful ones we need to reject.
It is the helpful and balanced ones
that are hard to resume.
So how can I be a better poet
if I forget to write one every day.
Just being able to breathe.
Not knowing who I can choose.
Impulse Control would be handy.
Listening is not an option.
Ready to jump.
Nowhere to land.
You train.
Current methods.
Fresher preferences.
Updated models.
You get home
and the older version
just sits there
while you try to navigate it.
Maybe one day
you will figure it out.
Or just buy the latest copy.
Thin and dangerous.
Sharp but fierce.
Hisses announce the strike.
Dance back before the blood is drawn.
Fragile yet deadly.
It points to the ones who look to help.
Those that hinder push over and over.
Being reasonable means things get done quicker.
Now is that not a good thing to strive for.
Hunt the prey.
Track and watch.
Take it down.
Prepare the meal.
Then we eat.
