I ate a bunion the other day
It was basically a bap with onion
In the market I'm a popular man.

So very nice they say
he doesn't even ask the price.

I'm the sellers' good mate
they decide the weight
or rather the mass,

So very kind they say
he's the buyer top class.

I'm the sellers' idol
the quote they call
I pay

So very good they say
he's our man every day.

They decide the rate
decide the weight
even the item

while my mind thinks of a poem.

Give me lazy lithium
days; soft asylum and Cheshire madness.
This sadness only
lasts
awhile, with sun burnt
smiles and ocean mist
kisses...

Give me sweet Mai Tai
nights, gentle lunacy.
The Mad Hatter moon
laughs at me,
and the fog
only lasts a
little while.

Just one more time,
please stay a while.

dives for the chicken,
delicious and barbequed
dental bridge falls off.

Paint stained yellow ******
a suitor popped her flower
she dropped off the wall
unhinged full of power
They tell you to never look back,
To be afraid of what you would find,
But maybe they just don’t want you to know,
What you running froms  all in your mind

Sometimes,
you have to leave to come back

Sometimes,
the line needs to go slack

Sometimes,
the loss is more to be gained

Sometimes,
the pastβ€”twice rearranged
