The amiable saint

Down the hall sits a curious man

Fists forward

The cat eats the ear of a scurlish orphan

Impregnated Angels
Birth the son of nothing
My favorite song
I shall now listen

"Dying sun burns in our eyes,
Nows the time to say good bye"

Marked by black totems,
a bended neck protracts against the polished blade
All but the fool saw it
And what a scene.

Blood for days and days. I still remember
& Give no ***🖤
In autumn is always the leaves
in summer is always the rain
without you, is always the tears
falling on my poetry
pages wet
the silence
a knife
slicing my heart to pieces
Got court in a week

Did a few days in jail
& Sitting in the empty cell was actually a nice vacation, I told them so.
So many things to occupy your mind
The swastikas and "**** LIFE" & "I'm sorry Mama"s scrawled everywhere. I traced them with my finger a hundred times, then I added my own swazi with a paper clip.

Did a bunch of pushups and wrapped the bed sheet around the bars and did a decent calisthenics back workout.
Talked to the ***
drunkard, while he farted and ate his peas
"Maaan, I woke up in here. Don't remember ****"
Ate stale spaghetti with sawdust meat clumps,
And picked my nose and dreamed of the pyramids and nothing.
After 16 hours I was let out.

Got picked up, and then laid in my silent room, and threw my paper work in the toilet.
Now I'm lonely. The guard was cute, and she saw my ****.
I'll just keep stealing
"You want business, love?"

"No, thank you, but I do have a proposal for you."

"Oh yeah? What's that, then?"

"If you come with me now to the church just across the road and pray with me for a while, I'll grant you entry into heaven."

"Who do you think you are? Jesus?"

"I am a simple man. I go by many names. Will you accompany me and save your soul?"

"Look, mate, it's fifty for a **** and twenty for oral. You want business or not?"

"My child, I bless you. Take this money and buy some food. Maybe tomorrow you will reconsider visiting the house of God."

"Cheers for the cash, mate. You're a strange one, aren't you? You want a blowie before you leave?"

"Oh, go on then."
Yep, another one from the vaults!
"Will you marry me?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Well, for starters, I'm a sheep."

"Oh, come on, Betty. I'm nuts about you."

"I'm sorry, Doctor, but just because I've opened up about my life to you doesn't mean we are in love."

"But what about our after-session meetings in the back of my van?"

"That was two lonely souls feeding each other's needs for comfort."

"Betty! You callous *****!"

"You think you were the only one? Ted, the janitor, quite often shafted me as well."

"Well, I'll be blowed."

"Not by me anymore. Goodbye, Doctor. Thank you for helping me through the death of my little Tilly, and thank you for a few good rogerings. I'm going to make a go of it with my husband again."

"But he's shagged most of the sheep on the farm."

"Yes, but he's hung like a baboon."

"Okay, fair enough, Betty. Good luck."

"Goodbye, Doctor."
Another one pulled from the vault
"Hello, Betty, take a seat."

"Thank you, Doctor."

"How have you been since Tilly passed away?"

"It's been rough. I'm still producing milk. The farmer steals that each day to sell for profit. I feel used, abused, and lost without my little Tilly."

"You knew it was coming, though. You knew any lambs born would be taken to market."

"Yes, I knew, but it still hurts my heart. Why can't we live our lives as humans do? My husband doesn't seem to care either. All he thinks about is the next sheep he can impregnate."

"This is the way things are, I'm afraid, Betty. Man sees you as a commodity, and Tilly was part of it."

"I loved her. She... she... she was my world. Now her memory is one of pain and anger. Anger that she was murdered and ended up on a dinner plate."

"Would you like some medication to help you with the stress?"

"It won't bring my baby back, will it?"

"No. But—"

"You're the same, Doctor. You're all the same."

"Betty, sit back down. We have another thirty minutes."

"Goodbye..."
Soz, more from the vault!
How to say your ADHD
without saying you are ADHD?

You speak like the wind,
and your mind is on a crazy train
going nowhere fast but you always
hit your destination and
you are surprised you survived.

Weeeee! See yah later.

Don't forget to keep your
hands and feet inside the ride
at all times and fasten your seatbelt.

Destination? ADHD! Yay for me!

Now, where's my keys?
