Life is like a roller coaster.
It’s like a wave to me.
Eventually, everything looks the same no matter where I am.
Do I get off the ride,
Or get a freebie?

A shoulder tap came my way today,
It came to just me as if to say.
Buckle Down or face the tide.
I buckled up and faced my pride.
Yup

The lookers should show when sad.
As some puppy dogs do.
But they show I’m always glad.
The creases prove my view…..

Whether it's a zero
Or a one,
I can complicate the heck out of things.

It's what I do.
It's my, vocation.
It's all I have.

I cannot think.
I can only process
And give you MY answer.

I killed a spider just today.
He was walking by, as if to say
Here I am, I’m big and free.
The freedom’s gone.
What about me?
I left him there.
So he can see.
Me on the throne.
Of infinity.
09/03/24 - Just another day in the neighborhood I think I hit the head on a Morrisssssettism. You know, the spider died from insecticide? IRONIC -see Freudian Slip

I am adversary.
Hear me roar.
I take your kindness.
I’m its wild boar.
In sheep’s clothing.
I shall creep.
Into your mind.
Just not too deep.

She kissed me first,
Her kissed me next,
The order doesn’t matter,
Just the lips of my ex.
There were two of them btw.
09/02/24 – I’m sure one of them should have been a he. I don’t know….these days. I just wanted to write a poem based on my personal experience and feelings. I did try to rhyme next with ex???? Whaddaya say sports fans? :-)

It ate all my poems,
Except the few,
That were in short term memory,
And I blame you.

The spinning sea, a vortex rhymed.
Every day, I want to see what's mine.

O + dot(s)
Notes = round and round we go, it never stops, nobody knows.
I tried to draw a vortex pointing down

EVERYTHING IS bigger IN TEXAS
Things like EGOS and the STORIES we told.
I lived there once for a decade or more,
And moved somewhere I can see my toes.

A caterpillar inched up a smooth hairy stem
A spray of insecticide wasn’t meant for him
He writhed and he squealed as some caterpillars do
When given a poison that’s not meant for you.

What happens when all my data gets to a satellite?
Does it stop there?
I’m not so sure.
Of course Einstein was just right…and…wrong.
He theorized relatively in stead of something else.
Or was it relativity?
Either way I’m always right ..............of......................... center….

Sometimes words are the way we were.
Sometimes the words are the way we are.
I just want someone to listen to the ones I’m saying tomorrow.
On occasion,
With all due respect.
If you don’t mind.

I never had it so good.
How about you?

We all could use a little G.A.S.

Goodbye to some and hello to they,
I have waited so long, so patiently,
To feel the touch of their love, their souls’ so free.
Sorta anyways...

Mickey was a rodent,
He didn't know his place
So science fed him Doritos
And Mickey changed his taste.

They saw right through him quickly
But he was still alive.
He became quite transparent.
By Yellow number five.
09/08/24 - NOTE TO SELF - I shouldn't read the news anymore.....

This just in.....Ingredient found in Doritos turns mouse's skin transparent, may have medical applications
The mice were treated by Yellow 5, and what happened next shocked even the researchers

I can be quite transparent if I need to.....ask mom.....Bad boy Donnie ! You too Kalalalalalalalalala, oh, Bad Girl "K".....whatever

To South......

NOTE #2 - I just changed the word tranparent to trans parent. Something like that...I don't know. it's several hours later....this PC stuff won't let me sleep.

My poems mean something to just me.
What others think about them …….
Their thoughts are free.

Turn about, is fair play.
As long as I apply it to what I say.
It’s not too late to change my mind.
It’s the other side that I can’t find.

My view is cathardic....
That's what they say.
I'm pushing real hard,
But it doesn't move that way.

I guess I will give up.
The heart is not well.
A view from my perch.
Is a view from your ........heck.

There is a mood that digs in deep.
It keeps its head inside my sleep.
Every day it wakes up bright
The rays of knowledge led to my plight.

I opened them, these lines of glee
And saw them piercing inside of me
But the gnat came crawling,
out of my nose….
And began to wash, all my clothes.
Notes – there’s a deep meaning to this…….

The perception I am giving you ,is nothing but a ruse.
I just don’t want you to start using me as your flippin muse.
It’s just my mind and the frame of it.

I’m begging for time
My time is short as near as the next blow.
It would be anyway, but now I have added several “variables” to the classic tick tock of the heart and soul.
Or perhaps just the heart as you may have it.
To be said, I have contemplated the expedience of my time on occasions by many devices of which I have come known dearly.
Tis not a thing I take lightly today.
For my variables have multiplied with my experience and knowledge (or perhaps none of) .
I have lived easily five quintets of these blessings forgone.
Each unique, each with it’s goodness and sadness (and badness?) .
Now on my sixth, I wish for more.
Only two I ask.
But have I already received much more than deserved?
I do not pretend to know if or when my time will end.
Such is the dilemma of man me thinks.
My two, if you care to ask?
One, my ability to express myself.
Two, my ability to express myself to others.
The two most natural forms of communication and yet I have failed at both so far.
So I take on this quest.
Of two more blessings.
With this poem (of sorts) .
I leave you or you or you to decide if I should try or not.
Give me not your answer, just give me your lot.

Miss him bad, he slipped away.
Cerritos autos had it when all is said and done.
He is my hero, but not the only one.

Picture this, if you will.

A swollen mushroom on a mound of grass.
Reaching for the sun at last.
A simple nest upon it's bow,
Two eggs inside, of this I vow.

How am i doing?

WE
Congratulations.
You have received that which is taking the world down.
A not-so-new device called WE.
WE, is such an important device that “we” in our quest for the freedom of speech and expression, have offered it to YOU, the suffering soul wishing to exercise these “freedoms” that have been cherished and sought after for many a year.
Unfortunately, you must have a WE to be YOU.
Or else, “we”, will cease to exist.
I leave it to you then.
Better to have WE from “we”,
Or than to have YOU and nothing at all?

The letters are there,
I’ve seen them.
They lurk around every corner.

Oh those eyes as they follow me.
The eight especially.
It looks at me sideways.

Take a moment.
And
Save Ferris.
