Mar 2014
waddle waddle waddle; at full throttle.
squeaking up a roar.
slamming, in a silent way
almost every open door.

dawdle dawdle dawdle; coo and coddle.
virtues of a *****.
never learning how to play
but always keeping score.

model model model; ship in bottle,
seeking out a shore.
life is only just today
not after or before.

rumble rumble rumble; belly grumble.
breaking for a fix.
deciding indecision
when it's time to call it quits.

mumble mumble mumble; feeling humble.
empty bag of tricks.
in need of some religion
and a lot of politics.

stumble stumble stumble; trip and tumble.
cross the river styx.
blinded by a vision
of the future it predicts.

gentle gentle gentle; swollen pimple.
tender and it hurts!
squeezing brings on some relief
when it pops and then it squirts.

mental mental mental; slow and simple.
cultural perverts.
with the honors of a thief,
disaster winks and flirts.

rental rental rental; gods and temple.
slogans on t-shirts.
the crux of the belief?
that everyone converts!

fiddle fiddle fiddle; dance in middle.
shoes made of cement.
following without a lead,
a purpose or intent.

brittle brittle brittle; sung through spittle.
this lyrical lament.
from the chains that all are freed
when all of life is spent.

riddle riddle riddle; with a little,
tantalizing hint.
if every want fulfilled a need.
would the sated be content?
