"zzzzz" poems
*i think, you should stop going to italy, for one, oh **** me, keep going on hedonist piss-fuck fests to places like mallorca, but stop going to italy, you're making my stomach ache from laughter, with what you come back with, the so-called "innovations"; somehow i'd just poach my cauliflower, and drizzle it with fried breadcrumbs, and serve it as a side-dish to fried eggs (2), and some tatties; for goodness sake, even cauliflower cream soup makes more sense, garnished with some fried chorizo!*
first it was avocado on toast...
who the **** puts avocado on bread?
i can imagine putting it in pasta...
but on bread?
hey, what the **** does
the acronym f.a.d. mean?
i don't know, and i won't google it...
o.k. avocado on toast...
nothing near guacamole,
but fair enough...
but what i discovered... pushes
the button where i turn into a fox laughter
(fuchslachen) -
i couldn't stop...
you can find it in the weekend
section of the saturday times newspaper...
written by nicola m.
cauliflower and mozzarella pizza...
you have to be ******** me...
cauliflower? on pizza?
one of my housemates at university told
me an anecdote:
i was in a restaurant once,
and asked for a pizza with no cheese...
he continued:
and then the head chef came out and
asked me... are you, insane?!
a bit like: bread... but no butter?
and i thought i was insane eating a watermelon
today, whole,
the red pulp, and the outer layers including
the skin included, allowing myself
a gorilla imitation cameo gimmick...
but i thought i was mad...
but there's avocado on toast...
and now... cauliflower on pizza...
it's a ******* side-dish!
wait, don't tell me... you're going to put
some potatoes onto the pizza the next frizz
comes along... right?
how about beetroot?
thankfully, if i have some
wacky ideas in terms of culinary escapades,
they happen, drunk, after 12a.m.,
and i'm the scientist, and the experimental rabbit
2-in-1...
a newspaper column?
apparently, you get one, putting avocado
on toast...
or cauliflower on a pi-zzzzz-ah...
to be honest, even though i haven't tried it,
grilled aubergines on a pizza could work...
the toast? marmite and cheddar...
english people should stop glorifying holidays
in italy... they're ****** cooks...
an italian would just look at
a pizza with cauliflower and say: cosa?
i'd suggest heading to scotland first,
and picking up the vibes from some haggis.
**** me...
avocado on toast...
caulifower on a pizza?!
now i can die happy, 'appy,
clapping: encore!

Anytime you feel lonely
Beckon for me to come into your arms
Catch hold of my hand in the shadows, in the back row
Don't let go.
Every day is a new day
Feeling good
Good feeling
Happy... Almost.
I don't want you to leave as well
Just stay, please...
Keep your fingers crossed
Love the way that your dark eyes shine so brightly
My heart races in your presence
No good can come from this
Only few understand.
Please hold on for a little longer
Quit with the teasing already
Ridiculous, our circumstances...
Slow down, I want to know more
Tell me your deepest secrets
Under the light of the moon.
Velvet blankets, picnic baskets
What's next?
Xoxo, your biggest fan
You never did understand my jokes
Zzzzzz, goodnight, day dreamer...
*Now I know my ABCs,
Next time won't you comfort me?*

with a lilt and a tilt
Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows
with a hop and a jump
like a kangaroo
I’ll be away the while
avoiding the roads
with a zzzzz and bzzzzz
like a busy bee
I’ll fly the while
over flowers and gardens
and the free open space
with a bounce and a quiet look
I’ll crawl and hide
in quiet burrows the while
like introduced rabbits
chased by farmers
and with a swing and a flip
a light somersault in the air
I’ll be back before you can say:
“dolphins and whales”
with a lilt and a tilt
Ha, I shall go the while
roving over bush and meadows

All I need is you,
My one and only
And you have my heart forever!
ZZZzzz... waking up next to you
Is the best moment of every day!
No matter what happens I will always be with you.
Gone to sleep
Laying next to you, hugging you
Over and over. You keeping me
Very warm throughout the night.
Every day, I am HAPPY to be your true love!

Good morning all my friends have retired
Hello I am running out of things to do to forget that they have all made better plans and that I am not to be included
Good day to you to, zzz I am falling asleep sir
I am feeling my mind deteriorate from a lack of sufficient socialization
Zzzz I am falling asleep again because I don't want to think about it
Zzzzz I keep dreaming about you dearie why'd you go again
I am running out of things to distract myself with; who cares about diction when you don't have any body to spill out beautiful words to
My love, I'm getting close to substance abuse
My love, I'm afraid of trying it I am afraid of artificially feeling like I did before
I am still confused; you are not; I am missing out on something

Slumbering
Zzzzz
A mis-shaped face gapes open at the mouth
Wakes slowly with one eye shut
And re-arranges its pace to form a unified
Front
Drool dangles
Drips lip to chin
Slurps back in where it belongs
Slides along a tongue and is swallowed
Hole
Nose niggles
Twitches
Bewitches the brain with imagined insects
Landing, lounging
Creeping up cavernous
Nostril nooks
Dream steps
Missed
Falling face-down onto metaphorical foreheads
While lying flat-backed
On the bed
Dozing drowsily
Napping
Not quite awake nor asleep
Quite aware
Neither here
Almost there
All most easy

Night has well and truly fallen
And laying in bed
The sounds
Of crickets and cicadas
Sizzles in from the windows.
Though my eyes grow heavy,
I try to write a poemmmmm........¡zzzzz 0

You on the outside looking inward
at the outward glance of Mike, your youngest.
Bovine hands on bovine meal cutting the table
practically in half if the strength would return to him.
He's only 40, but looks 53
ZZZZZ's hurling out, nodding comatose, veins percolating tangled mess in December.
Chardonnay outlet, and there is as much as you can handle.
We are flowing in generous and dire fashion this evening a florescent turnpike of the county.
Lucky the generators kept the convalescent hospital convulsing and very much awake.
He's nearly dead and for a moment, after leaving your apartment, I could've swore I saw his ghost wandering the B-Side hallway, no shoes on his feet.

I’m so tired
But I can’t sleep
There are a million little things
That have decided to swarm my mind
All of the things are stressing me out
I just want to sleep right now
I’m so freakin’ tired

But it takes atleast fifty for you to sleep

10:00 P.M. "Goodnight mom, goodnight dad!"
11:00 P.M. ZZZZZ
12:00 A.M. Awake with a start, can not sleep, go for a walk.
12:36 A.M. Arrive home, go back to bed, still unable to sleep.
1:06 A.M. Pop pop papapappapappapa pop pop pop
What was that noise? gunfire? No not in Urbandale, impossible.
From mother and fathers room, "That was gunfire...should we call the police? no someone else probably has lets go back to bed..."
5:40 A.M. "Ring Ring Ring" Two police officers were killed ambush style, one on 70th and Aurora the other on Merle Hay and Sheridan.

When I was a child, I always loved to sleep. So did my siblings, with them they had me beat.
When we arrived from school, we didn't hang out in the street. After doing our homework, we all went to sleep. My mother and father had to work, but they didn't have to worry. They knew where their children were, so they didn't have to come home in a hurry.
This sleep gave our bodies, plenty of rejuvenating rest. Upon awakening to eat our dinner, we were all refreshed.
There is nothing like taking time out to relax, and to clear your mind. Don't do it for a while, try doing it all the time.

Eyes growing heavy
body shutting down
work still piling
on these files I might drown
Not yet time to sleep
not yet time to go
so these dreary eyes
I cannot let show
work incomplete
deadline not met
task not achieved
can't sleep yet.
Blur takes over
sleep approaches fast
fifteen more minutes
but I know I won't last
Reality fades
as the dream creeps in
I fought hard
to not let the sleep win
strength completely drained
begging the sleep, please
have some mercy
but all I remember was zzzzz's
