The Law is the Law;
**** is ****;
do the math.

/////

Try not to **** away
your life on nonsense.

/////

While I wasn't looking,
the whole earth was
zoned commercial.

/////

There is always
another corner
around the next
corner.

/////

It is hard
on your soul
to admit
how often
you have
been full
of ****.

/////

Never let clocks
control your life.

/////

Waking up
every day
is another
chance at
Spring.

/////

Wherever you go
you carry along
all the places
you've ever been.

/////

We are
breeding people
who will
have no place
in the world.

/////

It takes
a life's work
to recognize
the mystery
of the obvious.

/////

Much that you see
isn't for your eyes.

/////

Exactly how long
does forever last?

/////

I keep waiting,
unsure of what
I am waiting for.

/////

Sometimes, you walk
through doorways
in you mind
and can't get out.

/////

When you are sure
you can't stand more,
the worst is just beginning.

/////

We must learn to appreciate
our fatal savagery.

/////

Don't disrespect alcohol.
It provides consolation
for the inconsolable.
Not a small feat.

/////

Sometimes, art must be foul
in order to scrub the heart clean.

/////

There are no
brave, new worlds;
just this one
seen clearly at last.
Random jots; hence, snap poems. Cookies that didn't turn into cakes.
