I follow your tracks from garden patch
to garden patch
From dirt
to leaf
From leaf to fence
I'm starting to wonder
Where the heck you went
Across the street
Down the alley,
You can motor,
Goodness!
By golly!
Past the dumpster
And by the trash can,
I bet I'll find you,
Little man!

Or woman,
Do you have genders?
I feel like someone has said...

CRUNCH

Uh, whoops...
I guess the snail's dead.
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook prompts; this one: snail goo.
Grumbles and mumbles
as my inner workings tumble
And all my kindness
packs its bags for someplace
fuller

Left alone, just me and the bone
to pick with plenty of meat left
clinging all 'round

I snarl, I gloom
I stare 'round the room
and I impatiently await
food entering my face

Hungrily angry
Hangry for short
Don't come near me,
until I've eaten,
good sport.
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook prompts; this one: being hungry
It's hard to write
When one lacks desire
Just as much as it's hard to go on
When one does not feel the need

So what's there to do?
Find distance
How?
That's up to you
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook prompts; this one: distancing oneself from apathy.
Her soul was clenched in the hands of distress
The feeble screams were reverberating in the dungeon
Not even the faintest light were allowed to entertain her
Till her soul regained the power to scream
Only her soulmate in distant land could hear it
As everyone was oblivious of her agony and suffering
Defying all odds, the soulmate reclaimed his Love*

Flowers for me
When I am special
Flowers for me
When I succeed in life
Flowers for me
When I reach a milestone
For every occasion
I am given some lively flowers
But I can see their pain
Looking at me
With a pale face
Which lost the smile
I am worried about those flowers
Which lose their life
To make me feel fresh smell
don't feel sorry for me.
I am a competent,
satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others
who
fidget
complain

who
constantly
rearrange their
lives
like
furniture.

juggling mates
and
attitudes

their
confusion is
constant

and it will
touch
whoever they
deal with.

beware of them:
one of their
key words is
"love."

and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have
failed completely to live their own
lives.

don't feel sorry for me
because I am alone

for even
at the most terrible
moments
humor
is my
companion.

I am a dog walking
backwards

I am a broken
banjo

I am a telephone wire
strung up in
Toledo, Ohio

I am a man
eating a meal
this night
in the month of
September.

put your sympathy
aside.
they say
water held up
Christ:
to come
through
you better be
nearly as
lucky.
I met a genius on the train
today
about 6 years old,
he sat beside me
and as the train
ran down along the coast
we came to the ocean
and then he looked at me
and said,
it's not pretty.

it was the first time I'd
realized
that.
I feel every touch,
every heart beat,
the soft taste of your lips
I see every shining light in your icy blue eyes
Then I fall back to reality
Waking without you
The thrill of  cuting through the fall breeze
The smell of a new parking lot
everything around you is to your use
But then..

there's the fall,

The scrapes,

The bleeding.

The passion and love you have for it can never hurt
Just keep on riding.
