like a barrel full of beer
roll out the clocks
with a cheer

like a ball on a busy streets
brakes squeal louder
than the scream

like when you are done
ahead the day is won
roll the clocks
one hour

two eyes staring down,
One,  the virtual and the real
One of glass and the other cheese
not a creature
no other features
stand over the city
reflect urgent transparency
if it is visible
it is true
the heavens
secret hold on the moon
one hundred percent
that has split and become
two, the virtual and the real
like life the dream
like living in reality
in sickness and in health
should be fifty/fifty
yet images have blurred
edges that serrate and grate
across a blackboard skin
that is the sound, of giving in
Ottar Mar 2015
She points at the door, by raising her voice not her arm,
Items scattered on the floor, no longer familiar, lost their charm,
He knew it mattered not, lips would move in the frosty air,
Anything he said would be held against him.
The air grew colder between them.

He put on his coat, the room temperature dropped already more
His hands jingled with the keys, keeping just the ones for his store,
She turned away as he hefted the two heavy bags she had packed,
She said her lawyer would call, he said "I'll be back", voice cracked
" If there is anything ..."

Not a sound
Not a noise
He closed the door
behind him
breathing fresh air
for the first time
And just stood there.
They had no kids, no pets, each a car.
The door open behind him and she said,
"How did it feel this time,
Remember it is your exit strategy
and one time, this door will stay closed and locked."

He began to walk away.

Winter has hung around too long for most, if not all
Their best memories are of  last Fall, Summer and Spring,
If their minds aren't too frozen.............
                                             ­                          free falling into a stall,
Oh for you children's sake send them, no...better bring,
Them, to the West Coast, yup,W.C. of B.C.
Tours abound there are some people who can show you around,
I am unavailable as after you read this you won't find me,
Don't bring your winter gear, for here we have no frozen ground,
It may not always be this way
Especially after we have our 9 point OH!
the birds the birds are singing on all my trees,
need to take my light coat off walking home at night,
for a price I can send BC weather in jar, send money, please
or defrost your car, again and again, does the cold seem colder on these nights in your time of blight?
Irregular Ode as fitting to the response, I will get...please don't chill me.

Physician's are able
accord-
ing to some dictum,
Themselves "Heal"
at command, even
with their own head
and ******,
One.

As for intellectual property,
you have none, of either

except that which you steal from us,
sorry I can't blame your parents, you fool,
Here is to hoping your teacher sees through
you...

whether or not you are in school, all this proves is
that you are a tool eaten through with rust, do to
lack of use, bet if you workout, steroids are your "juice"

and if you do it to get attention, you have a
penchant as one previous plagiarist said,
he just "wanted to see if all the poems, written got read"

and if it is to brag to some girl, whose feet you are not
worthy to look up even it they are at toad height,
it is lights out goodnight and no chance to succeed,

so let us hope you leave, because if this is mockery, callin,'
matters not, you missed the punchline, because I don't joke.
Time to get a life and try independent thought.
See I put the poem in the middle you are the center of attention.

single blade single chance both sides can cut,
double edged sword with one handle,
lather round and around,
lather up,
lather down,

in a matter of degrees,
the wrong ones taint white bubbles
and soft peaked foam to red,

one pass down,
one pass across
one pass if you
must, go against
the grain,

remember your reducing beard,
and though it feels weird
to say, your not shaving skin,
but saving it.

Take your time and get
to know your face...
the only brush you will have,
is ....not with death
Shave responsibly
