I was on the way to pick her up, was just about to cross a slippery slope on the front yard of my in-laws’ home. Forget how long it took me to cross, Huh, I had to solve a riddle. A Moon pops up halfway through, right in my way, it just won’t move. I said I don’t need any horoscope, already married, I am not a groom! She goes, I too don’t fancy fussing about. The riddle I got is only an easy-peasy one. Just tell me your W duo—Where and When did you take your first breath? I laugh, isn't it the mum who can tell best, who saw it first when I was born but I can't go back and ask her, she won’t show up unless I return home, picking her up. I said to the moon, o dear, never did I say you got a scar, that a spot on your face is cute, fair, is only a cool shadow of one’s deep-rooted fine lock of hair! I then ran to the expert scientist. He said it’s all vibrating but knows not where the heck, if ever the spin might stop. Again I ran to knock on the Sufi’s door. He seemed to know why I went there, And said in a deep voice, “as far as I know, you don’t have a sister-in-law!” Again the moon asks, in a heavy tone “Tell me the truth,” before it's too long, I said you’re in my way, “I am not asking for an acre of moon. Spare me a digit gap if you could.” Unlike how the lands on earth, she tells, keep changing the hands, owning the ultimate plot is still one’s dream. But no space is left unmeasured in space. You miss by a hairbreadth, no matter how tiny, and you might as well miss it by the eternity. So zero space can I spare says the moon This is it, the dead end, no more room to move. Still, even a closed circle can’t be close, the smallest atom is not the smallest to be closed. The constant spin inside it constantly finds ever more space to move on, because the root pi is cracked open, spills out a new decimal, though none can pinpoint, in this finest loophole the sky can sway and earth finds a mouth to jingle!

our fruiterer is a riddling prankster who jumps up from every corner and tray and stacks, with any old silly riddle (1) “Looking at apples, eh?” he approaches Sandy *“What did the apple say to the bug? Oh – stop bugging me!”* And he laughs at his own humor (or lack of it) while severe Sandy rotates an apple in her left palm and he ventures to the next vulnerable customer, who is me “How, my dear man,” he proceeds to ask “do you fix a broken tomato?” I shake my head, bewildered and he unpacks his own riddle: “Tomato paste!” And he roars with laughter his chilli-sharp eyes pointed at his next customer (2) And off he goes with his riddles – with his booming voice, no pause and wrapping his answers in cracking laughs He jumps to an old man and he says: *“Why, do tell me, do bananas never feel lonely?”* “Cos they always come in bunches” And the young couple he regales with: *“Why did the tomato go out with the prune? Oh, come on…simply cos he couldn’t find a date!”* And to an old woman he says in  near-Oedipus style: *“What did the Dad Tomato tell his Kid Tomato? Ketchup!”* And as in a light musical he turns about and whoever he finds he unleashes his final: *“How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? Easy peasy – you use a pumpkin patch!”* Ah, our fruiterer is a riddling prankster who jumps up from every corner and tray and stacks, with any old silly riddle

the riddling fruiterer
for jul she asks a-rat-a-tat sensible peppering of questions; “why do I give away my poems so easy and so fast, why me” the answer so readily apparent, so easy peasy lemon squeezy, my style is who you are! every-oft and every-then, a leader-reader believes my words so profound so entire so joyful wonderful! that title passes there and then a poem without a dedication but a-dressed-up-lovely without a ^hat,^  missing the zing of panache that makes its DNA complete, then someone comes along who loves it so more than enough, placing that rakish angled love with a bejeweled hat pin just so, and that hat makes the poem so much more, the jewel whispering confirmation vive la différence! so a dedication to/is purest dedication - exactly! and this one a jewel for the poem for jul be a just be cause 5:47am <•>

Timey Limey Easy Squeezy Lemon Peasy
There are so many ways to say goodbye ‘Hellos’ are but a few there’s ‘adieu’ and ‘farewell’ just to mention one or two *‘Catch you later …alligator’* there are much, and many more of ‘Bye byes’ than of ‘Hi’s’ than a simple ‘Bonjour’ ‘See ya’ or ‘See you’ easier said than to cleave so, ‘So long’ won’t feel wrong so many ways to see you leave maybe, it’s because we depart more often than we come maybe, “hello” holds no meaning after it’s said and when it’s done goodbye could be good but hurtful for no sorrow in hello you feel but parting can be painful so we say ‘Keep it real’ ‘ta ta’, ‘toodeloo’ ’sorry it’s me…not you’ among the funny things we say like ‘howdy’, ‘how you?’ ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ by early morning on your way so it’s hasta la vista see you soon, or cya later I’d better be along. take it easy easy peasy peace out and stay strong.

Leftover Love For Dinner
So, they don’t let you know that it’s easy to be ready. All I hear on the topic, is: steady, or, “ready, Freddy?” It was so very easy, with myself, to be concerned. But look at me now, all these things, with which I’m adorned. Everyone is so easy to be around today A big change, but a great one, I say. They seem to look at me, thinking that I’m pulling a stunt. Although they think I cannot see their worry, I can; they are being rather blunt. Were I to have been told that being fine would be so easy peasy I may not have been as concerned about giving in, lemon squeezy. For once, I ran around and played some games with others out there. We all were in it to win it; they needed me, to be fair. Yet, it seems as though they really truly like me. Maybe myself really is the best thing to be. Today I laughed, screamed, ran, shouted, had a **** good time Should anyone ask me, I can only say: It was sublime! That was yesterday, when I promised to be more daring. Do not fear, it does not mean I cannot also be caring. This feeling is so wonderful, so nice. If it could last forever, man, that would suffice. I made a wish last night, as I looked up high at the stars, Please, I asked them, let this last awhile. Let me go far.

Synonym for Ready; Antonym for Scared
love is easy peasy - letting go falling to catch the updrift wind fear is difficult - clinging on surface level entry wears away, turns to roots toxic. love is easy and requires work to dig up the fear roots , keep them away by gliding in the up drift allowing worries to flit , flutter , float away because loving is easy nothing to it at all natural flow inside my heart

no complaint
I promise to be the best I signed myself an oath In this ocean of life, I will row the boat It's a cold world, I will keep warm in my coat It won't always be easy I don't want the easy-peasy I will challenge myself I will dare myself My biggest competitor would be myself I will not limit myself I will encourage myself I will always be the best version of myself!

Best of myself
Creative actions are more than enough To convince me that I am working hard Blooming flowers prove the point That nature has a method of showing the world How amazing we all are. Dedication from each of us can portray The effort of clarification from results Mornings of sunshine days are also great ways To feel we are on the firmest of footings and cups Of our enthusiasm drench us as our excitement bubbles Flesh is weak they say but not so Eliminate our thought process Just leave the muscle and the bones of the plan By any respect the job will be done Sometimes dwelling on an evaluation is fruitless Gain some notes in your tune Misalign your face and just work at it. Develop your space and live Don't think too much Enjoy the life with which we are blessed

Another day
Solving for the x. Step by step Time is clocking theres no time for any misstep Thought I had been getting ready for these arithmetics But now I feel like in anesthetics. Maybe it aint in my genetics These mathematics got me feelin dumb Aint got energy to solve. Ive been feeding myself of crumbs, been livin in a slum Aint easy to have the mind in the equations when everything else is off Balancing these numbers dont go so peasy when all I want to do is tell the world to **** off Because who cares about this x when theres no money in the checkbook I got more problems than the chapters in this textbook Hoping all this senseless calculations will improve my situation But waiting for the future is hard when Im living on a ration Been working all my hours in exchange for some dollars All of this cause my momma said the only ones that make it are the scholars But the work I put in seems to be less than the money I receive. And it all goes away to the bills. Got barely any left to live. Divide the provisions and multiply the meals Make sure that tonights dinner is a bit more than beans Hope that my body has had enough proteins to keep all this going on Because it seems my mind is about to shut down.  Dont know if I can find the answer you were hoping for.

immortality is easy-peasy. you play dead. you live now. and simply continue. you just get on with it. zig-zag in plain sight. like a shimmer in an old daguerreotype. if you must fade. always do it sideways.

you play dead
The little boy who cried life All he ever wanted was a Piece of the pie but all All he ever got was A life full of lies trying Trying to materialize And fantasize coming With images in his mind What does he realise? What does he take from life? I guess he just has to Improvise and accept life as it I guess he has to simplify And relax and handle his biz Life didn't come lemon squeezy Its hard the opposite of easy peasy Then one day the boy cried he Said himself this world is a lie And then he saw as his tears fell And all he could think to himself is Life.....

the little boy who cried life
~for the co conspirators, they know who they are, them foreign poets~ write in solitudes, provocations arriving from within and without, the hot magma melting internally, the sting of red scars from arriving cold asteroid hits all I’ve got to do is faithfully transcribe the knife fights, the not OK corral fights, the trailing comets passing-laughing their tales off at the black hole idiot who said writing poetry is easy peasy of course making it easy, no issue no problem, just by picking up those peasy pieces of leftover me 11:48pm 4-4-2019

make it looking easy peasy (writing poems)
There once was a knife, That almost took a life. For a deed that she did, She then hid. Escaping the world of hate, She was to follow fate. But the path wasn't easy, Certainly not easy peasy. She saw the eyes of the dead, With ***** of fury on her head. Anger was far from what she was feeling, The baleful wounds that needed healing. But the wounds were too deep, Even with every weep. But it was time though, For the show. To face her final fate, That was unfortunately was filled with hate. She took one last glance at herself before taking the knife, But this time it took a life. her life.

easy peasy
To love you is easy To live with you not so peasy Then again I am no breeze Many times you could have left with ease Life has not always been a smooth ride for us Especially the lack of time and distrusts Many challenges we have faced together Who knows if it will last forever But I love you so And never want to let you go Because all I need at the end of the night Is you to hold me tight xxxxx
