Transitory friendships. /
Earth absorbs them all.

Transitory friendships. /
Earth absorbs them all.

How can I say this? /
My words will never touch it. /
But my embrace will.

My ego tumbles /
among autumn rain and mud /
waiting for spring flowers.

O’ this problematic /
of all that is quite antic /
stands in ways dramatic /
at the lover’s front door. /
But it would be most ecstatic /
and even a touch fantastic /
to touch your life elastic /
once upon a time once more. /
Though time be a bit erratic /
and full of senseless static /
like a radio set to bombastic /
’tis you my heart adores. /
And though life is all to plastic /
with desires trifling spastic /
my mind trips the light romantic /
in wishing for amour. /
So, redact moments miasmic /
and reach for ones orgasmic /
and travel beyond the didactic /
until we reach each other’s door. /

I fear most being /
a fool before the universe /
when I could have been.

O’ Motivation, /
You lost gyration /
Of agitation /
And sometimes vituperation, /
Why can’t I overcome /
This constipation, /
This consternation /
And subjugation of mental triangulation /
That I feel /
Keeping me from my goals? /
O’ this usurpation /
Of my concentration /
Is no vacation /
But abdication /
Surreal. /
Must I face with total resignation /
The certain and declining titration /
Of the limpid constellation /
That is my soul?

Will our hope return, /
or has the bloated sky, /
made one more refugee?

There once was a woman named Tart /
who thought she would be rather smart. /
She wore her bra on her head /
so when she took men to bed, /
they’d start near head, not her heart.

Time piled up as sand, /
the edges, then the center, /
undertaking dreams.
