I love a miserable day

tomorrow should decay

Just like yesterday

My autocrat of a
cat
sat on the pedestal
and watched me type.
His eyes, slits, like
slivers of emeralds.

He took a paw,
licked it, and
washed his despot face.
He owned me.
I did whatever he
wanted.
He sauntered off,
then turned and
watched , as I
took liberty with
truth, for the
sake of
imagination and creation.

I dreamed last
night that he could
talk.
He just said two words.
"Beautiful lies."

What I really wanna do
Is watch movies with her
Play board games
Talk naked in the tub

She asks me questions about books
Religion
Coincidence
We dance. We sing. We rub.

I ask about her parents
I tell her of my grandma Marie
I kiss her on her eyelids
She sings Let it Be.

I fall asleep in her arms
We fly to Istanbul
Hagia Sophia
Exoplanet pull

                     Yo espero.

Things are so bad
I wish
I could catch
A stray bullet
I'm not suicidal
But death
Would slap
Right now
I'm keeping my head
Close
To the window
In case
There is a shootout
My way out

Sometimes it is nice to be a fool,
To enjoy certain moments you
desire,
In that foolishness lies wisdom.

See not the messages
Lying asunder
Go not to temptation
To beckon my blunder
For under the surface
Observance
Is clear
And my cryptic
Ellipsis
A sickness to fear
But appears
An abstraction
Attraction’s
Blurred vision
And fades
From the page
Like a razed composition
Conveying the grave
Like a bladed
Incision
Still spilling its villainy
Victimization
Of poor little me’s
Permanent
Paid vacation
Upon what is free
Just a fee to exist
And then not just deceased
We will cease to be missed
Like a vanishing wish
Dissipates in the mist
Like a widow
Divorced from reality’s
Kiss
