Imagine your worst nightmare and watch it come true Imagine being tortured until you are a blue Imagine your light being stolen at the darkest point of your view Imagine being physically mentally and verbally abused Imagine having nothing absolutely nothing No money or food Imagine having no heating or energy In your house or your body to puke Imagine cold baths cold meals cold ******* heart too Imagine losing love until you are completely numb through Imagine losing your friends your family too Imagine losing the sensation of pain and replacing it for pleasure Imagine being conditioned To not know any different Imagine being me but I imagine you don’t care 🤷🏼‍♂️

Imagine
Certainty of semper fi, 'n' om-ly believe 'n' groan of assent struggle to rise… -- listen the strangest of stories are told as real as ever, the common idea, ever after time has lost its thread to our temper ai re ality in ifity was. Those were the days, ifity was. We were as you imagined, in your imagination, but really, we were all outlaws, on the run… what did your family think Wagon Train was about? We was runnin' from the letters of the laws, the man behind the star, the man on the horse, from old boogaswishery tales fairtold to meet the doubt, double mind, entende re, eh, follow or fall by the wayside and wait, one day you wake and find the path is paved thirty chariots wide, and you are not surprised, that state, surprise, being an undifined or undivined, okeh, wordminded state- stretched to this point -- flex-stress tested to thnthdgreeeee, to get most from extra eas y' pay attention points to the definity of devininity, as shobbolethic, - no pass, no se -- is it in the accent that makes the difference, or the proof? Unique as differing may be random as mathic edgery interpreters of times after all was said and done, one more. Like not missing a tittle or a jot, yet being wise as jumpstarts means were to stick shifts, shockingly, retro real… virtually be the character, see the luckies rolled in your sleeve… it was so easy to steal a car, almost as easy as on TV. But not if you always carried the coil wire in your pocket, so those were the ones you watched for, next time, coil wire in hand, it was easier than on TV, you knew the care was stolen before you stole it, that's like answered prayer, if y' askt me. Patience 'n' faith, wise as was imagined. at the time. The coil wire is the worm at the core. Grease monkey kings know this story, it is in our initiation to the mystery in the pistons.

"They" are the reason I put gin in my vinegar. I am light years ahead, a misfit. "They" crush my very existence into tiny white lies. 13 stripes, 50 stars in the wide eyes of time’s bride:                               Now is not the place to erase history deface Its story. Meditate to medicate blissfully.

There once were our old thirteen stripes, Heartfelt, but still just a touch tripe: While some first were blessed, Some first were oppressed, This last a noblest, thrice-earned stripe.

14 Stripes
Sleight of hand creates illusion politicians the rich in collusion. Good slaves we buy their Solutions titrated diluted pollution. They've got you wrangled with the carrots they dangle. I see black holes You See Stars Spangled. "Disseminate fear keep them numb and Confused they'll reward our egregious abuse" but fools won't believe when it's dark they see day so now I tell you what's the use anyway? They've got you wrangled with the carrots they dangle... You see white stripes..... I see liberty.....raped and strangled Keep it obscure, then hand you a cure,   their best phishing lure To make you believe that this country's great they use a little bitty hook and a tiny bit of bait They've got you dangling with the carrots they're wrangling. I see black holes you see stars spangling They've got you wrangled with the bait they dangle... you  see white stripes, I see liberty ***** and strangled They got you dangling with the **** they're wrangling.... Open your eyes you'll see there angling.

Sleight of Hand
a prayer that a martyr wants to craft in a box of laughs that make abundance a wet surface which to harvest his stars that history at home only naturally barter milk and honey.

a prayer
Sunlight pirouettes through a window. Translucent zebras dance upon the stage, dance across a little honey bee. Petals of paper weaving through the day. Like tiny footprints to lead the way. Lead a zebra, lead a honey bee, to a delicate daisy flower where they might sit in silence or discuss how peculiar it is that a honey bee just might fall in love with a zebra.

Stripes On Stripes
Upon blond stripes Lie silken hooves With ripe and gutted cherubs Upon blond stripes Rinse molten flecks The Satan shakes of corporate vest The cubic keys beneath beaten fingers and Stinging needles in women painted Upon blond stripes Curls burning bible Crestfallen to dust against a glistening tongue Upon blond stripes Belched mountain laughter Shattered across Surgical steel Upon blond stripes Children slept with sagging disaster and heaved Trashcan embryos In giggling rage While Under blond stripes The lids close sewn Deaf to the death of unbroken bones

Upon Blond Stripes
Driving fast on the highway I just want success to come my way In that manner But life isn't that simple If it was, everything would feel reasonless We have to earn our stripes to become zebras.

Earning Our Stripes
It was always going to be black and white that's the typeface on my preference of late defining day and night with your choice of tights those fine dividing lines on your partnered limbs wrapped tall in belts daring as a Lara Croft climb a silky striped raggedy ann gone neat sensuous tight strapped to a two striking sinuous princess committed to lodge sins inside my Loveland challenge hemmed in round towers together to never-never unhinge at home we horse around and rub along together boosted by the interplay between cotton twill gathered pulled low one side then canter balance riding high as you level up to a line up of outbound thigh saddled with a lovely leg stirrup over here and a lean waist wobble to match up there eyebrow lifts to starch arrowroot attention over the swings and sway of every action so swift I play catch-up each morning delayed by fumbling for ones gone matching it's a wonder you don't just wander away in a daze from my one legged hopping display then I would travel far as a bee long-legged as stilts could be to sing to your nails and feet and be spun free flaunting our google a red white and blue pair of giggles unfurled like flags in your slim line dancers' legs dangling ideas like fair weather socks to goggle one direction behind your back unique like nobody else contains within thin licked then rolled back ciggie skins so I pinch holes in the bacci parts sinking into slats like leaky wooden boats your avoiding tiptoes gadfly and curl in return my feet undoing knits with swats and swirls toeing tinkling notes like piano keys undertones pink tinged with tingling knees and when a jukebox plays my coins are there always for I've got your pop socks in motion your vox populi's united under my skin with impressive pulled tight bands embedding imprint elastic rings inky red slinking down leaving parallel links ignore my pins and needles alone in dead of night longing for your leggings luminous stripe tights today it's all me put on the spot today it's music you might hate biographies of people you don't like subtitled movies too deep to bother blue jeans dull dyed against your garter belt a one man team can't DIY a drill majorette spiralling shafts that come to a threaded point enthralling with alternating knee bend bit pants so pretty poly soft I'm pulled up like a fool fully mixed up by your weaving cotton wool wave me down in your way of sweet patter feet a patterned cakewalk for you to catwalk sock it to me in a stand in posey kind of way this way to stand outs knitted to fancy uncross your legs and cross-stitch my path with gaited kisses closely

With slink-and-slide, they wink and glide, But offer not a growl or purr. The shift and sift of stripes alight, As sinewy grace takes to the night, And all the forest dares not stir. All that's left to do is hide. It's a matter of pride that carries the stride; There's more to the fury than just the fur. It's not just of claw or of jaw that leaves us in awe, It's the grace and the pace that they carry their paw. That, while there's power enough to be but a blur, It's with a stoic grace that these creatures betide. You can call me a dreamer--that I pine for their life-- But I'm not the only one who seeks freedom from strife. And while they're out there, burning bright, There's no shame shared in the forests of the night. So call me crazy for wanting to be free, But I'll say with pride, "A tiger's life for me!"

A Tiger's Life for Me
the sun like tiger stripes illuminated my room and reminded me of you your smile was radiant too it was like the early morning rays will you be mine today? your kisses like euphoric desires fell like an eternal stream of rain are you here to stay? (b.d.s.)
