Whimsy

To recollect
Fluorescent childhood dreams:
A stuffed bear,
Clutched firm in hand
At the love-torn seams.

Oli Nejad Jan 2013

A shuffle of breath,
Fractured coughs,
A laugh or two,

All brains turned off.

Hoops

Perhaps,

It is not what you know,
Nor simply, what you can prove.

But what you can prove that you know.

Can you read me that license plate?
On what?
Pull over.

Laziness

“It’s hard to stop being lazy.
I think it’s because it takes serious effort
To admit to yourself, that you’re lazy.”

***

Yesternight, I drank much ***.
Suffice to say, it was much fun.
But today I pay the awful price,
Of a dented wallet, and swollen eyes.

Petroleum

I wonder how much
A barrel of blood,

Costs in dollars...
