Poetry

Steel cut.

Quick.

Instant.

Regular.

Wild!

What other kind of grain is sown so much?

It says it is above freezing.

Yet, stepping outside your fingers begin to freeze.

Watching the sun go down

sends shivers up your spine.

Waiting for morning

means this will be a long night.

Still the barometer promises fair temperatures.

Too bad for those who have no home to sleep in.

Imperfection is king.

Blemishes bleed.

Faults are picked on.

Bullying is just another tool.

Why can’t we be nicer to each other?

Beauty is different for everyone.

Kindness is not.

Wordless mouth noises.

Interesting rhythms.

Jazzy vocals.

Kool Kat.

You would think someone like me

who makes noises all the time would be good at it?

Apparently I am not a musically rhythmic gymnast.

Beside hunting tools

the oldest indication of civilization

is its ability

to store things.

Precious things like

water, oils, perfumes

and the like.

The most important one

will always be

jam!

Strawberry, Pear or Mango

does not matter to me

so much as it does to my toast!

Wake up and rise for the day.

Yet the motions are slow and full of confusion.

Coffee is the usual pick me up.

Not working today.

Scroll through the news feeds.

Nothing to perk me up.

Maybe it should be back to bed?

Too bad I promised to drive someone.

Hopefully the fog has cleared by then.

The system is built

not to help

but to keep those who are on the edges

to stay there.

Always out of reach

of achieving

the normal society’s level.

Who else wants the poor

to stay poor?

Every step forward

is just ahead of the three steps back.

Socks.

Sweaters.

Mitts.

Scarves.

Hats.

Blankets.

Pants?

Boots?

Feelings!

Warm and Fuzzy

can be a state of mind.

Space Trekking – ISS Vanguard.

F#$@ you Squidword! – Arkham Horror Card game.

Cows! – Great Western Trail.

Sppppaaacce – High Frontier 4 All.

Apples – Newton.

Sometimes I think I play too many board games.

Nahhhh.

Time to go break out Quilts Cats – Calico.

When the man who represents all things horrible in this world

Is the leader of the enemy army in your dream and all you can do

is watch him order his army to tantalize a new country

into joining him

You really want to summon those monsters that can destroy him.

Even if they will attack you too.

Evil begets evil.
