Monochromatic
if you think about it…
they don’t have a lot of talent
there’s really only one color in their palette
and even that’s growing thin
so busy painting fences with their hatred
they’re not even trying to pretend

When the Bird Returns to Remind Us We’re Still Human
On the 3rd,

before daring to cross our skies again.It glides in with that effortless arrogance
only birds and very old truths possess,
cutting a clean line through the blu…Read More![Profile Photo]()

It’s Crying Gas, Girl!
I know Burl, my name’s Furl, my lips curl, I’m your girl!
It’s Crying Gas, Girl!
This gross mask, your big ask, the gas flask, my head cask!

I hate this, I can’t hiss, I can’t kiss, I can’t piss!
It’s Crying Gas, Girl!
The gas stinks, my face pinks, one eye winks, my hair kinks!

Oops! I missed some days, oh well:
I Saw Her Crying in Tom Planter’s Field

Her eyes were hollowed out, her raw lips peeled,
She wore a silver bullring through her nose.

Toast my Texas BreadA letter to a word
It’s not spelled right
Nothing I ever heard

It is strange how for some people their desire for easy, quick answer to complex problems fools them until reality sets in and they discover what their lack of understanding smacks them upside the head.
