Oh
I cannot help this bad poetry. An evil muse has my family and dictates every word. Really. Every groan millimeters them to freedom. It's a European muse. Hummm.

Drought
The rain passed me by
muttering
leaving naught but
blue sky
and sunshine
to gouge out
my eye

Alonewise
i hate to farm
my misgivings
but they are
so fruitful
i told you so's
r blooming
spectacularly
with cherished
recriminations
sprouting sprigs
right next to my
blue renege's
i pretend
i never knew
were there
in my garden
and worse things
i wont say
scare my **
away

You Would
Words wash up
on me
Sounds towel off
i hear
Things juxtapose
themselves
What would you do
i gasp
at the temerity
beaching itself
while i

do instigate
something
they say
I just
write on
it

un-spilled and
repeatedly

and your thoughts
are ought's and
naught unsought

to choose which thunk
to call a thought

wet
Some dry things
like me
poetry-ing on
divining for

sprinkles even
or most
dreamed of
a tear
Written on the back of my water bill envelope

I don't have Time
I don't have time
to slow down
let me repeat
Making seconds
flavorful
chef
of right now
and i mean
to mean
something and
that's
pernicious
whilst surfing
momentous
achievements
albeit frivolously
with assonance
and discernment

off what
This shade of nothing
i own
have staked out
as my own
i'm sure its value
has grown
since buying it
with a loan
indistinguishable
i've shown
from top brands
of alone
i'd so call you 'bout
your tone
reading in
trombone
wah wah wah ahhAhaa
so blown
all these notes
i've sown
