die inside
fry without sun
cold night sweats

boogeymen
waiting on trains
everywhere

no where's safe
light never enters
shuttered eyes

embrace chains
shackled from within
live in fear

they have you
entrapped in yourself
while they smile

tidal flats titan
appear for epic battle
gladiator crab

night clear stars glimmer
silently glowing embers
bodies sweat glistens

if that kiss our last
would you recall like our first
as i reminisce
all our late night rendezvous
in loving how they do last

she buckled my knees
glancing my way eyes clear blue
my beating heart skipped
after my feet a'flutter
her gravity pulling me

in the silent white
thoughts rest upon falling snow
uniquely their own
settling among others
till slowly covered over

I imagine being a fish in a fishbowl
Not knowing I am a fish in a fishbowl
But a fish nonetheless, in a bowl
There are other fish in the fishbowl
But they seem as oblivious as I
blue fish swim with other blue fish
reds the same, swimming with reds
We got bottom feeders, ******* up ****
top feeders thinking they are the ****
With their snooty up turned mouths
The middle hears it from both
Those poor bottom feeders
Those greedy top feeders
Imagine being a fish in a fishbowl
With all this turmoil
And then just to stir the ***
Food falls from the ******* sky

her bounty unleashed
freed crystalline streams rush forth
rainbows dart beneath

mans' imperfection
artificial intelligence
will be even worse

no longer tethered
free floating among the clouds
effortlessly climbing to the heavens
earth becoming this distant memory
angels showing me the way
home

floating in my canoe
on this quiet flowing stream
screaming past go jetboats
racing to see the end
my attention goes back
to that odd looking creature
who slapped his flat tail
as if to simply say hello
I continued to watch
a little time longer
as the sun slowly set
off in the distance
a bullfrog asked
how do?

pastel flowered walls
pretty patterns repeated
simply beautiful

recalling youthful summers
flashing tie dye eyes
under peyote skies
distant crystal clarity
yesterday in a year
that escapes me

It’s always fun to laugh
At the man in the tinfoil hat
Till you find out what tin can do

glorious reveal
darkness hides when freedom reigns
stars and stripes showing

did summer ever come
with promises to return
seems winters' never gone
this cold is set to burn

week twenty five
gotta flatten the curving
we were told just two
now even masks aren't enough
quacky fauci wants goggles

puppy no
cocking his big head
he ponders

sleek sally sloop
slashes smooth seas
sprays silver streaks

humans see humans
monster created divide
makes me wonder why
government feeds on victims
chaos is good business
