#unkempt
That which previously passed as night clothing Has become daytime wear, Oh fear and loathing Truth or dare, Showing up at holiday gatherings Dressed as the family slobs, It is nearly unbelievable In light of their pharmacist jobs. When it's the same ensemble For day and night, One thing I notice It is never too tight, It hides any bulges So baggy and loose, I guess it’s why I can’t tell If they are a gazelle or a moose. Yet, as members of our household I feel a bit embarrassed, I maintain a decent decorum Although my wife is the fairest, But even she cringes When her son shows up in bedclothes, At a public celebration Oh, how she turns up her nose. It’s not an issue regarding Any shortage of money, Others wear the same wardrobe It went viral, but it’s not funny, Their household income Is three-hundred-k plus, 24-hour pajamas? (At least it’s not us!)

Members of the Sloppy Class
Feeling unkempt from shortness of breath Brain functions less as cloud covers ahead Given a rest when energy spent Lungs are suppressed No control in the chest Closeness too dense Muffled words left to float in the air Stifled and drowned Faint from the crown Blood pressure down Warmth idling for me not to care Few beads of sweat, heat heavy and wet Recovery yet but soon on the mend

Ever,if we meet under the canopy of coincident Your collars shall be on the verge To be plucked out by me With the 'good-girl nails' plunged into your flesh I promise, I'll get the red in you,out,oozed Soon will turn you Sapphire blue Neither your counters Nor roughness would chase that of mine Now then you shall be Kisna's pigment I shall embellish a Peacock's feather on your unkempt hair design Your hair that you've nurtured in masculine style Torn apart and your face wet in wild wine splashed back to conscious mind A smile for witnessing you mad at me But anyway vengeance was mine.

Don't fall forward,sire.
Collections litter boxes unkempt in the corners of my room. filtering through snowstorms of white laced with scribbled verse. Memoires sewn in tapestry of what was wondering within the cotton of thought and the needle of motion of my pencil. There are momentary pauses laced with eyes gauging words. Then there are crumbled echoes of what now litter a tiny bin. I walk from the room of my conscious verses some unkempt in the corner, others slung into a void of rejection. I may visit momentary , but now I write.
