Fragile sounds in darkness,
the night is veiled by warmth and
dampness. The outside feels as
two drenchy, thirst-quenchy thighs
touching
eachother, falling in love,
rubbing
eachother, for an eternity within twenty minutes.

As fragile voices sang about loneliness,
I felt a little less
alone. Yet,
scared of the unknown,
I dreaded going on. (But) everything was so
welcoming, so inviting, interesting, enlightning, and frightening.

I dreaded going on


(but) I did.
I listened to the strangest podcast last night.

We don't smell, we reek.
Not knowing why, we seek
the growing highs, the peak.

Where does it stop, evolution?
Are we there yet? Is the wise
wise man the last solution?
Or are others on the rise.

Fist became stone, then food
and words and abstract good,
caged birds and #mondaymood.

Sometimes we wear perfume.
Other days our fists raise.
And when our fingers find the blood
they sought
we get caught up in the smells of old.

We may have glittered once
but we were never gold.
Who or what made you resort to violence?

I know of a Dutch-Latin professor,
who is a serial young lady undresser.
I've seen the laws of morality,
beaten in the streets.
I've learned about funny men
being just a case of when.

There's high-placed, handsome faced
and rich, laced in gold, never-no-told men
who'll do worse whenever they can.

I do not condone, endorse or consider,
I'd rather have the talent wither.
Times are crazy. But to be honest, 2020 was only mildly unkind to me. Is this 'luck'?

I get freaked out by the distance between clouds and me. I am no longer trying to leave the crowds and be the one on stage. I don't want to wage because I don't know my range of change. It's not only the hate to seal your fate. It's the unconditional adoration.

The arms to carry you are the ones that bury you.
yet.

It's scary how supposedly good stuff can bring out the worst. If so, I don't want the supposed good stuff. I don't want to change into that. How can you be certain you won't?

How it all can change, gradually
behind the curtains, abruptly
in the trees. The log cabin's set
on fire and anything to admire
is lost. The cost of great successes
blesses us with the greatest joke of all.
Thinking you are different, without the
potentiality to fall.
I wouldn't recommend it. Any publicity is bad publicity. Only the potentiality for good is actually good.

Aren't we all so ****** special?
I am different, I am weird, I am clunky,
I am quirky and just a little feared.
He's dressed in black, he smokes and
leans on walls using his back.
He has a troubled past, a future uncertain
and a present behind the curtain.
He's wearing jeans, he's cutting steak.
what difference does it really make?

He knits, he swims, he skates and hates
the curl in his greasy hair. He ****** the bed
until six and cried about the spot on his head,
he got when he smashed it against the wall
after a nasty fall.

He is so ******* special,
but aren't we ****** all?
Always remember things aren't black and white.
and certainly not black versus white.
Keep the critic alive but don't let him rule you.

Well, we all do. We swim around
in golden layered mud and when
our heads go under,
with rapid speeds, we attempt to plunder,
pluck our brains.
What brought me here?
Engulfed, no tears
are seen and no one knows
where those eyes have been.
Take more walks. At least every once in a while.
Because breakdown/crisis is always just around the corner
when you don't take breaks from swimming.
