The Base

Bell ring sound thing but how ding dong

Do you think I’m able to drink from the

Fountain of mirth slow table so search

Drab covers hide glad tidings minuet so

Delve into duty with one foot on the base

Songs

Careful one means cautious two for you.

So much to chat about but not the will to

Chat. How was yours? Mine was fine.

Hope you are well. Being well is half the

Battle. Sometimes soft, soothing songs.

Full Circle

Knowledge sex intertwine exchange

Merely showing off catch cling walk

Togetherness ideas dreams whisper

Calling grown up respect beliefs wait

Yelling expression argument curse

Getting to Know Her

Do you know the way?

Never shown,

Nothing explained.

Everything is a culture shock.

How to treat a lady.

How to be a gentleman.

The first kiss.

Temptations.

Saving yourself for marriage.

Learning by example,

But only to a point.

Sexuality is normal.

Sex is okay.

Attraction, feelings,

Making conversation.

Treating her with respect.

Getting to know her mind

Before her body.

How to be a man.

Making meaning together.

Little Creases

Green lights mean take your time. Yellow lights mean go faster. Do you hear the cheese in the styrofoam catacomb? Help homeless people get jobs. Feed me, Seymour! Talent crushes asparagus in the mighty jungle cat habitat. Little creases in wrinkled shirts soothe basted creamed corn apple oblivion satchel moves.

Don’t Believe the Hype

Circular thinking leads to lasagna in the brain. Fast food is tempting when you’re hungry, but don’t believe the hype. Freedom costs the lives of those who fought for it. Signatures on petitions count up to changes in the way government sees things but not necessarily they way they do them. Cauliflower ear comes from phone calls that go too long, just ask Granny.

Sometimes It Cries

In some small hole,

A lizard crawls out.

The cockroach says to the donkey,

Don’t step on me,

I have a disability!

Circular squares

Make fun of green bears.

Thank the Lord, have mercy!

Swimming in a dirty pool

Is the past time of grown men

When there are women involved.

Sexuality never owns up.

It cries like a baby sometimes.
