Careful when you find a friend.
It's the most precious thing you will ever discover.

Can we kiss on Friday?

( Yes I said this in grade six)

The theory of Reality.
The theory of Knowledge.
The theory of Value.

And yet we don't even know if we exist.

Life is complicated.
Consciousness is sticky stuff.
Our path is predetermined.
Enjoy the ride.
Trillions of galaxies. Yup.

Determinism. It's science.

Imagine a nearly infinite number,
Of domino pieces standing on end.

The big bang tipped over the first one.

If words were jellybeans on burnt toast,
I'd eat them raw, a bag at most,
I'd share them with my neighbour's ghost,
Who lives in a barn that smells.

If punctuation was a warrior's code,
With secret meanings meant to implode,
I'd message you before I explode,
My last words are I love you.

If definitions were a secret chant,
I'd yak all night about Emmanuel Kant,
The meaning of life my boring rant,
And I have puddles for shoes .

Please forgive and never forget,
A poet at play has no regrets,
Smiling, happy, a marionette,
I'll share my donuts with you.
My Dr. Seuss moment. Or at least my attempt. He was an interesting person. Wiki him

Where is your shift, my love, my bait
Your halo magic button,

That panther look pooled in your eyes,
You're risking up to somethin'.

Will you purr and arch your back,
Whiskers whisper caution,

Come to me my baby star,
With your kiss that gently hardens.

Can I count and can I dream,
Or wish upon a star,

Dreamin' bout your sour-sweet,
My thoughts are so bizarre.

Come to me,my dream date girl,
Make me man up right,

Love is on the menu now,
A  dark and moonless night.

We must dance,
With flowers in our hair,
Like the hippies at Woodstock.

We must dance,
Intimate and exposed,
By the rhythm and the beat.

We must dance,
Naked and aroused,
As we touch, taste and tempt.

We must dance,
Tonight
