Wry is one of many things you do well....
~~~~~~
dedicated to, inspired by Paul Anthony Hutchinson, who wrote those words to me but two hours ago

Wry
- produced by a distortion or lopsidedness of the ****** features: a wry grin.
- abnormally bent or turned to one side; twisted; crooked: a wry mouth.
- devious in course or purpose; misdirected.
- contrary; perverse.
- distorted or perverted, as in meaning.
- bitterly or disdainfully ironic or amusing: a wry remark.


It is bitter,
It is amusing,
the distorting that gives a shape and thereby
meaning
to a misdirected life,
the ****** muscles perused,
all reversed, all per-versed

t'is not just the smile that is loopy,
or simplistically turned upside down,
twisted but not dubious, nor devious,
twisted but straight, I say,
wry is not a seething something I do well,
wry is in every nuclei I ever split,
every line etch-a-sketched in every poem
worn down,
physically inscribed on my face.

so much to reveal,
but not here not now not,
ever on and ever in, explicit
but blurred, burred, and buried
within them is the ironic of a man
that laughed through the better part of his life,
for in that period, there was no
better,
just worse

I was born wry.
the last of three, I was nameless till I was twenty one,
they called me just
brother, or the brother.

at twenty five, I married the wrong woman,
though we both wanted not too,
thirty five years of wry, the lawyers rejoiced,
the judges celebrated, the poets went mad,
swear it true,
the family counselors said
beyond hopeless,

and with wry smiles at the spectacle of years wasted,
spent like there was no tomorrow,
for there was none
in the titanic disaster of more, new lives corrupted

I lived life wry.

now, in the final fourth quaternary,
see how he,
the master of the unceremonious,
in on bent knee, hands clasped, on bed, rested,
when he seeks comfort and guidance for the upcoming
finality following a two minute warning,
warning that even now,
the future wry, turned to one side, when all he wanted,
was to live quiet in the straight and narrow
and not write poems asking himself with trepidation,
from where will come the courage to make this
last passage....

oh yes, I do wry so well,
and all things that wryhme with hell,
you will be spared,
for wryly he exclaims
"Enough, enough"

wry why!
for in all the days of his disheveled life,
there have been but a few,
when it has been simply,
enough

thin ice' palette, when dissolving

into water--is starlike.

the quaternary of a bed does the

same with a body.

a dreamless state can reflect

this, as the horizontal meets the

vertical--indelibly so.

even if stars aren't visible,

you're aware of them on some

level.

a lower plane is a higher plane,

to a lower plane.

just as a higher plane is a lower

plane, to a higher plane--etc, etc.

slate landlock, quaternary headspace open to face the light,
feel better, knowing it'll improve.
live life like
two drops from separate sinks, in simultaneous drive.
get it over with, there'll be time to breathe,
time to resolve that pressure,
building under left temples and fourth knuckles,

it's never been as easy as this to **** everything up.

it's never been such an opportune day.
shut the window and watch leaves fall,
let it all pass.
feel worse, just keep telling lies, keep making mistakes.

and i'm supposed to care...
because of...
       what?!

  the Chinks are taking over?
they're already all over...

why should i care?
am i investing in gene
propagation or something?

genes are like a fetus to me:
dead, until in my arms
and outside a woman's body...

nothing much in between...
well... a dichotomy
of argumentation...
and headbanging to
a megadeth song...

and the thought,
that some day,
my neighbor will cross
the line of private property,
and i''ll get to gut
him like...
what ends up pork trimmings...

thought: the last ******* theater,
given the potential...

why should i give a ****?
it's not like people gave a ****
about me to begin with...
        ****, i'm here for the bourbon...
am i jealous?
no... no... not really....
i should be, shouldn't i?
good luck.

no no... i'd love atheism...
if it wasn't for the coupling of
atheism with materialism,
why do atheists bang about this
gene argument?
  why are atheists primarily
materialistic thinkers?
never managed to figure that one
out...
  
all these atheists bang about are
materialistic arguments...
as long as there is no god,
or no soul...
    GENES... GENES 24/7...
      nothing else...
fear of death,
subservient to a gamble on
eternity with the passing on of
genes (according to Hitch-Itchy-Tongue)...

**** me...
      you want to know what scares me
that's outside the emphasis on
death?
old age...
death i can take:
please! the sooner the better!
old age scares me...
because it's not the sort of old
age that guaranteed the
antonymous youth
of ancient Greece, or Rome...

no...
when my parent's die...
i'm not waiting... **** it...
       can't be bothered...
that's why i'm waiting for my
grandparents to die,
so i can ingest the reactionary cycle...
i'm not waiting,
3 hours of pain is 3 years
of a disguised pain of "waiting"...
oh no no no...
   i'm not waiting for the *******
argument...
they're out... i'm out...
      
if only the atheistic arguments
didn't, needlessly, lead toward
a materialistic clinging...
    too much fake realism concentrated
on passing on the genes,
like... fingerprints or ****?
    
once again: good luck!
   you're not passing anything
unless you're not passing
a vagueness of a genesis for
an impersonal impetus -

the coordinates remain the same,
but the vector impetus changes...
genes are, well...
static.

          hence the atheistic argument
for ensuring they continue,
like some Hindu reincarnation tactic,
"levitating": unchanged...
           i'm correct on that one,
yes?
   genes are supposed to remain
static, yes?
   well then!
      atheists are *******
materialists...
        
last time i checked...
    i didn't know that air could be categorized
in the same way as a rock...
that... quasi-ancient
quaternary of the subject-object /
  object-subject "dichotomy"...
                
lying to behold, the prior to unseen
fascinations that might succumb
to the materialistic grip, of
so called reality...

                and if gravity is what
binds all the orbs into a glued motion...

what force, actually instigated
the motion, or...
             kept it perpetuated?

sure... you have the glue question
answered...
but what is the perpetuated motion
question?

no? really?
  no?! really?!
  oh....           let me guess:
you don't!

i'm not kneeling,
and i'm not gesticulating with a prayer
in mind...
                 but god occupies
the entirety of my thinking...
   i can't think without the concept,
which, needless to say...
is so much more,
than the fabrication of
19th / 20th century
psychology of allowing the ego
to replace god...

sorry,
but sometimes the most irrational feeling
can overpower the most rational thought...
why?
   feelings are rarely allowed,
allowed to be caged,
or allow, * being*, caged...
         and my "belief" in a god aligns
itself with Heidegger...
     more to the point:
            man, made justice blind...
   man has no bearing in executing
   the most sacred sense of
                traversing both space, and time...
as mutually exclusive,
rather than the physics of their
mutual inclusion of the space-time
"continuum"...
          i believe in a god,
because, i do not believe that man:
has the sense of law,
to either pass judgement, or justice -
as the Satanic law encrusted:
   within the confines of your
gullible innocence...
        you will make a quadratic equation
of the whole escapade -
your goodness will be the justice,
while your evilness will be the judgement,
or vice versus,
or versus,
   or versus vice...
  or either, or none, or maybe...
    maybe the other way round,
from the other way round... or... quiet simply...
whatever.

Ireland and the man of archeological evidence
have fallen over the past decades or decades.
The people of Ireland were born with the first
witness around 10,500 BC Finally about 400.
On a counter with a historic day and following
a large part of the East and Europe and around.
The tribe includes ancient Paleolithic, Mesolithic,
Neolithic, Iron Age, and Ireland. It is Europe
because you are exhausted and exhausted,
the Romans have fallen,                                 starting with a historical record.
If he is not attacked by the Irish deputy, he writes
the stories of Christ's arrival that the tissue starts
with a sample of Convallis Image.

Sixty, he left the Neolithic,                     and the rest of the celestial creatures
was limited in all kinds of mwyaf groups: the gold mines
and the eight golden ones,                 where in the middle
of the older age of air in Ireland was Thursi's mechanical grave.
In Ireland, many areas of swamps
and many abandoned observations
have been found to be heavenly,
they have discovered.   Sometimes the subject
is better amodau MP wet anaerobic organisms
and more tools trapped,                                 and in the older stone age of Air
Withy fish fine hemp textiles and garments.     The latest Quaternary Glacier
                                                               reaches over 3,000 feet 9,800 meters.

In last year's glacial area, about 26,000-19,000,
was abandoned in Ireland and the Arctic tundra.
The body was originally designed to have a common
"Midlands period" of cold characters. The porch
is covered with ice on the island. The first part of
the holocene air is through involuntary seedlings
and the largest European animal. It's a real person,
                                                                ­                         but fishing can go.


The last ice card in the Irish age group
is in the background "for the first time",
which should not be overlooked and ALL "Freshwater Lake" is a problem. Before 17,500 and 12,000 years ago,
but a slightly warmer case, Boiling Allerød,
the rehabilitation of hunters-pickers
in northern Europe, issued a permit to fly.
The house type was in the north, the nature
of this kind of cychwynnol MP reeds ystod y,
and if you have a pre-EAST-NORTHEAST
egg Christmas season. Several places in the
Nord-MP bar in Sweden now live tattooing
in the Nord-MP bar, glaciers mostly resemble heavenly people who hunt immigrants,                                                      ­                wild water areas.

Rudge's environmental changes
and the result of human saphiris
in Europe, including Europe, in
Holocene areas around Ireland are changing.

It was during an affordable tattoo
of Great Britain and Ireland,                            and sees the heavenly land:
a relationship if any,                      cutting using the sea level so soon high,
probably at 16,000. C.,                     which was flora and fauna or on earth,
crossed over to Erinn.        Other snakes and reptiles failed to significantly rehabilitate the Irish bridge at any temperature,
many topics were heated. nThe sea level is low on the European continent and the United Kingdom is also moving.
This has already been tired,                 presumably by 5 & up to 600 BC. C.

The date of the first modern humans
in Ireland resymol;                                              We know about 2500 years
and at the end of paleolithic
and radiochronology; Barrett in 2016 and 1903
to carry bones dug into "Pas Alice and Gwendoline"
in the county of Clare. These tattooing tattoo
standards were created, reduced and killed
when they were new and daily, around 10 500 BC,
people exhibiting Irish tattoos. But they worked
hard rocks discovered in 1968 Drochenda stitched
explosion. Weak and perhaps more                               Early in 70,000 BC,
so often, maybe what is now ice on the roof,
overlooking the Irish Transmitted Heavenly
Translator from it from the base of the Irish sea.

The situation in the United Kingdom and Ireland,
in the east, dates back to 11,000 BC,
indicating the number of people eating seafood.
It is also possible that some farmers see the celestial characters
in modern abandonment

Around 1894, he bought farms in Florida
and Arizona, USA. In 1906, he felt
he could not solve the problem. They are bananas.
Consider what the 10 plans say for the star
of Babylon. Fourth, it is known for 10:000
stars compared to Rome No. 10. We are at the end
of our Trinity at the end of the first part, which
is the definitive Zombie and Zodiac. Use 200 hours
of slutty penguins and magnetic ears to look
at the planets. The eclipse of the traveler
is a government accreditation. The following
sections:              In the last period,
man was announced in 1916 to 1914.
1915, c. Around 10 times the stars of Poseidon.
The African Union is very low on ******
and flat. There were up to 10 language groups
in the area, like a lion. Circular shape 13-12
and the other color,                                    width and color of the quartz seed.
They were raised in 1908 because the crime
was in the south. Planet, 47.9 years, ******

as Banana, Greta. Romans 10: 10 lb. 10
So it is with the eleven statements.
In the lower part of the first solar eclipse,

In the last period, man was announced

10 times the size of Poseidon's land.
The African Union will only live in two
parts and a lion on the planet believes
that the image of the inhabitants of stars
10 is external. 13 to 12, which are round
colors of different colors and tones with
half the width. This is a crime in 1908
in a particular way in the Netherlands.
The "white star" of the planet is called
'n': 47.9 years is called 373.5. You may ask,
"What is a big problem?" The special manager,
Wondershipper, went to see the photovoltaic,
but Walt Disney was sold for many years,
who spoke in 1919 to make scenes

According to chapters 10, it shows

the scientists of the planet have discovered
that their images, like rivers, control their credibility. . .
This is the first well, ****** and that is the symbol

he thought he could not solve the problem.
They are bananas. Look what has been said
about the name of the 10 works that will
be Gabriel's star. Fourth, it should be noted
that this contradicts the Roman numeral
10 for the star 10:00. We are at the bottom
of our solar system, the prostitutes
and the elliptical zodiac at the end of the first
body. To use the prostitutes and the magnifying
glass of the camera and hands for 200 hours
to find planets. The eclipse of travel
is recognition by the state. Regarding

In 1906 he can show that the idea is to see
the fact that around 1894, Bosnian Lowell,

Back in '71, when I was pregnant with my first child, I went for a long desperate cross-country run through Prussian territory. Waving my arms like a folle, dodging the crottes of maudits corbeaux flustered from the heaps of corpses left over by Napoleon III’s second-last stand, trying to catch the eye of the franc-tireurs, searching for Zündnadelgewehr  in the grenade pits.

In ‘46, just before bringing forth what remains of my second child, I was sitting in a prototype grey Panzer taking *** shots at a couple of charred hibakujumoku (the ******* eternal gingko) when I felt her chewing at my innards. Needlessly and in spite of my best intentions, my strict upbringing and the “Manual”, which I'd almost learnt off by heart, I leapt up off the soiled wicker seat, banged my head on the ****** periscope handle and pulled the red ripcord.

Later, I imagined her breastfeeding on what was described as “the flesh of my withered gland”; I watched her little nails squeezing the calico pythons squirming in my camouflage maternity flack jacket and recited doggerel from the Shorter OED, the classic tales of mirth and fury.

My last, Cenozoic, carried in my matrix through the Sturm und Drang of the Quaternary glaciation, cougar-pelted and covered in flint chips, something like thalidomide finished it off (according to the magnetic resonance). God, how I loved to paint the trichinosis, the rhinitis, no, the rhinocerii (we were pre-literate, after all) on the cave walls. Augustus I called it, buried with blueberries, primitive to any distinctions.

Still, the albino alligators with the orange eyes escaped from the biosphere on the Rhine, the one right beside the nuclear reactor, twenty miles from the cave entrance. They were mutant twins. Reading Herzog's plump lips, they headed straight for the heavily guarded cave door. One paleontologist and one art historian patrolled the opening in alternating twelve-hour shifts. Dressed for duty in typical ice age fashion, long caribou ponchos draped over leopard skin undergarments, they were ready for anything: filmmakers, epistemologists and brutal English; with their laptop PCs, flip phones and clipboards, they were avant-garde obscurantists. They didn't stand a chance, standing there by the door hole, waiting for their cameos.

— The End —
