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.
