30/M I like rhymes.
Thinking that I feel some strings but who’s the puppet master? Is some person behind a curtain manufacturing disaster? Am I a simple minion? Just a lifeless empty doll? And if tear that tether will I fly or will I fall?

Puppetears
Headphones muffled the sound, but I never queued music Each playlist was you, so I just couldn’t choose it But in silence I lose it Inviting you in Soon finding I’m writing about you again The paper my pen Would a pencil be better? To erase Change the case To rewrite all my letters? If arranged so they rhyme as they’re flowing along Would you hit the add button Or just skip the song?

Alexa, play games
Stepped right on a tack Couldn’t pierce like her gaze Still a terrible pain I should call her Think I twisted my back Know I’ll feel it for days I say something profane I should call her Burned my hand on a pan Just another old scar Wait, speaking of hot I should call her Wrapped a tree with a van Apple didn’t fall far Doing things I ought not? I should call her

I’d slay the fiercest dragon I’d grow roses on the moon I would eat a pound of magma With a glowing red hot spoon I would make the birds real creatures Then teach all the dogs to fly Get my masters in philosophy While never asking “why?” I would dive the Mariana Trench With just a single breath I’d prop Sisyphus’s boulder Then make nice ‘twixt he and death I’d count backwards from infinity While walking back from Hell Then I’d do it all a second time For the lovely Miss Purnell

Judging me is part of it
A single word is all it takes A sight, a sound, a smell The right/ wrong one Composure breaks I’d say it’s going well Seems I’ve forgone forgetfulness So different from before No way to misremember this Since, after all, I swore
