#flavors
1400 known, and countless unknowns,
the ones I’ve known,
unrequited love,
the agonizing slowness of the realization of
unraveling dissolution of love believed
the illness.of a child
watching the water~ drop~ dropping of slow diminishment of a
parent’s memory
loss of job and the responsibility of
a family to feed
failure to achieve the greatness “promised” me
the pointlessness of hate by low quality human beings
inherently mean & who are pleasured by torturing souls
the ever increasing terrors of tomorrow’s imminent unknown
unknowns
the pointless hating of
my religion, people, ethnicity
the pain of guilt never forgiveable
be caused by the careless pain I’ve casus caused
the steady erosion of mind and body
with no end night in sight
but the hot breath of its nearer to me,
closing in
inevitability
and the perils of eroding, my survival facing
the scourge of my
daily diminishing returns
<>
and here, I cease,
for others, their reasons,
so much greater
only 1400 reasons and more,
fast forward about 75 years,
“ Which is… kinda crazy when you think about it.”

Seize the Yay!
by Baskins Robbins Ice Cream Co.
Some people think happiness is elusive.
That all you can do is sit back and hope it comes to you.
Well, they don’t see what we see.
Made your bed? That’s a reason to celebrate.
Put on pants with actual buttons? There’s another.
Catch your kid’s smile coming off the bus today? Worth celebrating.
See, happiness isn’t a lottery you win; it’s a choice you can make.
Even if the world hands you a million reasons to choose otherwise.
So laugh it off over ice cream. Get a just-because cake.
Find your slice of happiness to celebrate.
Fast forward about 75 years, and we’re over 1400 flavors strong. Which is… kinda crazy when you think about it.

A thick bar or a small orb
A pebble or a globe
The sight of brunette or umber
A soft mocha or a syrup
A stuffing or solid
The taste of hard work
It's a bean no longer,
need of peel.
Flavor so rich and full,
Money can buy but not feel.

the lockers rife with clowns and the frittering of time as the ***** boys got ready to work their ***** minds down at the ***** factory and boast about ***** things too often degrading and unkind.
I tried to stay out of it
until one officious co-worker
had the gall to ask,
“what’s your preference in women?”
whereby, my response was,
“I see my women like flavors;
white women are too bland,
black women are too flavorful and
Indian women are a bit over-seasoned.
you need the right amount of spice.
Latina women got it but they cheat
so, I’d have to go with Asian women.
they’re perfection is unmatched.”
laughter emerged and rumbled
down the grey factory walls
where the metal tin roof had rattled,
the ***** air pervaded with rust and tears
and a mouthful of peanuts were spat onto a grimy floor
they laughed and kept on laughing
until their bellies burst
never have they heard such
a response like that before
and I just went back to work,
treading in the depths of my own conviction,
not really seeing why I wasn’t
being taken so
seriously.

Pink jelly beans
Kinda don't like your taste
Not sure what flavor
You're supposed to be
Maybe generic Barbie?
Please
Don't take this personal
Still very cute
Someone loves you
But
Apparently
I don't enjoy the taste of
Mystery

Coffee, I adore thee,
somehow you never bore me.
Bold and dark or mild and smooth,
you get me up and on the move.
In warm embrace or cool frappe,
mocha, french roast, or tall latte,
crema, sospeso or con panna,
you never fail to make my day.
It’s the best thing ever manufactured,
without it, my mind is slow and scattered,
for a quiz or formulating I’d be knackered,
every morning the Keurig is where we gather.
You pick me up and keep me keen,
in complementing any cuisine,
by delivering a dose of sweet caffeine,
you are the original magic bean.
In doses quick or lingered over,
on mornings with a hangover,
I reach for you, your warm embrace,
the morning fogginess to erase.
The flavors, the scent, which is the best?
They are of compound interest.
French press or espresso - take your pick
- they all provide that delicious kick.
Jitter juice, rocket fuel, cup of joe,
cuppa, morning brew or ristretto,
your flavors please, your scent rouses,
a coffee shop is where the crowd is.
In slang they call it Mormon-crack,
but sugared up or with a snack,
with creamy art or straight-up black
once I’ve got it, you won’t get it back.

Life is a sort of flavors!
Sometimes tastes so sweet,
some others it is just that salt.
Life is a sort of stories!
Sometimes she is the beauty,
other days she is the beast.
Life is a sort of colors!
Sometimes the moon light,
some others turns to an eclipse.
Life is a sort of seasons,
Sometimes warm as the spring,
suddenly freezing and cold just like the winter.
Life is a sort of lenses,
Sometimes the clear vision,
in others turns to blurry.
Life is a like person.
Sometimes it is a friend,
others might turns to a total stranger.
Whatever life is!
Whatever comes between!
It is always one of the two.

Are the Five Alive©
Can you see it through...
The fog
The smog
The mist
Can you smell it through...
The fear
The odors
The stench
Can you hear it through...
The noise
The racket
The chatter
Can you taste it through...
The spices
The flavors
The bland
Can you touch it through...
The pain
The sorrow
The concessions
If you’ve made it this far through
The gauntlet known as life
Take a bow for you are alive with the big five
Sight, smell, hearing, taste and feel are for real

Criminal
O Criminal
This deceit you leak reeks
Of sour lemons and urination.
Criminal
O Criminal
This pride you flood smells
Of blueberries and broken dreams
Criminal
O Criminal
These miracles you bring leave a miasma
Of grape Faygo and suffering souls
Criminal
O Criminal
The peace I bring leaves an aroma
Of blue raspberry popsicles and lonely depression
