(026)▪︎[ Too Much Of What? … 2024 ]

[ Is Too Much Of A Good Thing Too Much? ]
[ If It Is Such ]
[ Could It Be Used As A Crutch? ]

[ Would That Be Like That For Lunch? ]
[ Stuff That Goes Crunch? ]
[ Or Only For Things That You Could Get In A Bunch? ]

[ How Is This Found Out? ]
[ Must You Research It To Remove All Doubt? ]
[ But Then Somebody Could Look @ You & Ask “What The Hell Are You Talking About? ]

[ That Would Squash All Of What You Were Thinking ]
[ So There Won’t Even Be Something Linking ]
[ You To Whatever The Thoughts That Would Be Sinking ]

[ To The End Of The Line ]
[ So Nobody Could Whine ]
[ That They Were Not Even Doing So Much As Just Fine ]

[ Once Again Your Thoughts Are Up & Running ]
[ But @ Times They Feel Like They Are Fumbling ]
[ & Bumbling ]

[ How Do You See How You Can Right This Ship? ]
[ So On The Radar Screen Called Life ]
[ It Would Not Be Seen As A Tiny Blip ]
[ Then No One Can Come @ You By Shooting From The Hip ]

[ Do You Feel Alone In A Crowd? ]
[ Only If There Are Hushed Voices? ]
[ If The People Are Loud ]
[ Does It Come Across As Needless Noises? ]

[ Is There A Difference, From What You Can See? ]
[ If There Is, What Can It Be? ]

[ Can It Be Seen? ]
[ Does It Come Across Really Clean? ]
[ Or Somewhere In-Between ]

(992)▪︎[ What? … 11•29•2020 ]

[ Have You Ever Had One Of Those Days When Nothing
Made Sense? ]
[ & When You Go Into The Backyard ]
[ You Notice That There Are Two Tents? ]

[ Then You Felt Like Such A Goof ]
[ When You Stumbled Off Of The Roof ]
[ & Broke Your Last Tooth? ]

[ What Do You Do Now With A Crooked Smile? ]
[ When All That You Wanted To Do ]
[ Was Swim In The Long River Of Denial ]

[ Swim, Swim Until You Reach The Dry Land ]
[ Was This Wish A Want? ]
[ Or A Demand? ]

[ Grass Clippings In The Dishwasher, Shampoo In The
Sink ]
[ How Your Journey Has Come To This Point ]
[ Has You Ice Skating On The Roller Rink ]

[ Where Do You Go From Here? ]
[ As You Cough Up Another Tear ]
[ Your Steak Does Not Taste Quite Right ]
[ When You Sneeze In Your Beer ]

[ When The Sun Rises In The West ]
[ Does It Help You Grow Hair On Your Chest? ]
[ Or Do You Go To The Grocery Store, Looking For Ice
Cream That Is Good, Better, Best? ]

[ When You Turn On The Light, Does That Help You Sleep? ]
[ Or Do You Stand In The Shallow End Of The Pool ]
[ & Only Splash Water When It’s Deep? ]

[ Life Is Really Confusing When You Open Your Ears ]
[ When You Fall Out Of Bed In The Afternoon ]
[ Do You See The Thunderous Cheers? ]

[ A Snake On The Floor, Beats A Bird In The Hand ]
[ Will Anyone Feel It ]
[ When You Give That Command? ]

[ Nothing Makes Sense As Long As Your Knee ]
[ Life Is Really Confusing, When Your Eyes Yell That
They Cannot Grow A Tree ]

[ Ice Cream, Ice Cream Is Always Cold On The Brain ]
[ Sometimes When You Eat It So Fast ]
[ It Feels Like You Are Swimming On A Train ]

[ Around & Around The Eyeballs Go ]
[ When Will The Stop Light Turn Yellow ]
[ You Will Never Know ]

[ Life Gets So Confusing When You Have To Say The
Alphabet Backwards, In Numerical Order ]
[ Anybody Up For Burger King ]
[ As You Run For The Border? ]

[ A Taco From Baskin Robbins Sure Sounds Good Right
Now ]
[ But Since You Don’t Have A Car To Walk With ]
[ You Really Won’t Know How ]

[ You Can Pick Up The Order That You Sent In Long
Before Yesterday ]
[ You’ve Been Meaning To Get It ]
[ Since The 10th Of May ]

[ Life Sure Does Get Confusing The Younger You Get ]
[ You Are Sure Glad That You Have Known You ]
[ Ever Since We Met ]

[ Make Sure You Don’t Break When You Only Mean To
Bend ]
[ So Now There Is No Need To Start Over ]
[ Once You’ve Started @ The End ]

[ How Do I Look, Through Your Eyes? ]
[ Do You Think, That I Am Just One Of Those Guys ]
[ That Smiles ]
[ While Telling You, A Bunch Of Lies? ]

[ So I’m Just, A Guy ]
[ Who Tells, Lie After Lie? ]

[ Why Would You, Think That ]
[ Because You Might Think That I May Have An Allergy ]
[ To Telling You, The Needed Facts? ]

[ What, Have I Done? ]
[ To Ruin, Your Fun? ]

[ Some Say, That I Crave Trouble ]
[ But I Just Don’t Want, Resistance ]
[ Because I Live, In A Bubble ]
[ & I Never, Ask For Assistance ]

[ It Is Not Like I Think, Getting Help, Means That You Are Weak ]
[ Some Of The Words, That I Would, Have To Say ]
[ I Just Don’t Speak ]

[ I Rarely Used The (H) Word ]
[ But It Is Something That Seems To Be ]
[ The Only Words That I Have Heard ]

[ Yesterday & Last Night ]
[ Sometimes, The Word (HELP) ]
[ Causes Some People, To Start A Fight ]

[ Fighting, Against Family Or Friends ]
[ Can Go On A Long Long Time ]
[ & Having, A Bruised Ego Never Ends ]

[ Confrontation, Or Trouble, Is Not Somthing That I Seek ]
[ If That Was The Case ]
[ This Is What I Speak ]

[ People Even Think That All I Do Is Hurt ]
[ That Is Not Always True ]
[ If You Asked The Heart That Pumps Under My Shirt ]

[ I Would Give The Shirt, If Needed Or Asked ]
[ I Would Think Nothing, If Given This Task ]

(720)▪︎[ What Storm? … 8•23•2020 ]

[ Inside Every One Of Us Is A Storm Waiting To Rage ]
[ Are You The Rain, The Thunder, The Lightning ]
[ Or The Next Ice Age? ]

[ When There Are Storms @ The Beach ]
[ The Waves Crash So Hard & So Loud ]
[ You Cannot Hear Yourself Speak ]

[ Some People Have A Fascination With Storms ]
[ That Is Just Slightly Out Of Other Peoples Norms ]

[ Is It The Driving, Blinding Rain ]
[ That Floods The Outside Drains ]
[ That Drive Those People Insane? ]

[ Is The Flash Of The Lightning Or The Thunderous Boom ]
[ That Makes People Hide ]
[ Or Run Into The Inside Rooms? ]

[ The Weather Guy ]
[ Tells No Lies ]
[ When He Predicts That The Lightning @ Night ]
[ Will Light Up The Sky’s ]

[ Others Like The Calm & The Warmth That The Sun Brings ]
[ That Seems To Be When All Of The Birds Sing ]
[ It Also Has You Wonder ]
[ What Opportunities A New Day Will Bring ]

[ The Opportunities Would Be Endless ]
[ & If You Tried ]
[ It Would Knock You Senseless ]

[ @ Times You See What’s Possible ]
[ Instead Of What’s Already Here ]
[ When Things Look Attainable ]
[ You Look For Ways To Make The Vision Clear ]

[ Some People Make Things Happen ]
[ Others Look To Dampen ]

[ The Bright Days Of Their Peers ]
[ & They’ve Been Doing That For Years ]

[ They Just Want To Rain On People’s Parades ]
[ They Do This Under The Disguise That They Are Playing
     An Innocent Game Of Charades ]

[ Just Never Turn Your Back ]
[ & Watch Out For A Stab ]

[ For It Will Inevitably Come ]
[ Some People Around You Have No Heart ]
[ & Their Emotions Are Cold & Numb ]

[ Sometimes In Life You Have To Play The Game ]
[ It Might Be Different In Name ]

(614)▪︎[ What Murder? … 7•25•2021 ]

[ To Get Away With The Perfect Murder ]
[ They Have To Jump Over A Bunch Of Hurdles ]

[ The First Thing They Must Do Is Sell Their Soul ]
[ To The Devil ]
[ To Put Them In A Hole ]

[ They Truly Believe That To Take A Soul They Must First Give
     Up One ]
[ But For Some ]
[ Usually It’s One & Done ]

[ But When They Commit More ]
[ That Makes Them A Much Bigger Horror ]

[ Maybe They Are Giving Up The Souls Of Those That They Love ]
[ Then Knowing That Their Souls Would Never Go Up High
     Above ]

[ No Pearly Gates For Those That They Knew ]
[ Nobody Going Up Higher Than The Sky Is Blue ]

[ They Must First Become Quite The Incredible ]
[ Believable ]

[ Liar ]
[ They Must Be Able To Keep A Straight Face While Walking
     Through A Blazing Fire ]

[ Being Devoid Of Emotion, While Keeping A Straight Face ]
[ Going In & Out Of Their Place ]
[ Without Leaving Any Trace ]

[ Of Fingerprints Or DNA Evidence ]
[ Not Leaving Footprints Where They Jumped Over The Fence ]

[ They Can’t Have Any Prying Eyes ]
[ Being Able To Tell Believable Lies ]
[ Then Be Able To Console Those That Have Crying Eyes ]
[ Of Any Girls Or Guys ]

[ Being Able To Lie ]
[ While Having A Rock Solid Alibi ]

[ Is A Must ]
[ Unless They Want To Give The Police An Easy Bust ]

[ Sometimes The Saying Of ( NO BODY, NO EASY CONVICTION )
     Is Spot On ]
[ One Day They Were Here ]
[ & The Next Day They Were Gone ]

[ Maybe They Can Make It Look Like An Unfortunate ]
[ Accident ]

[ Witnesses Only Benefit A Prosecutors Case ]
[ Even When Their Story Is So Far Off Base ]

[ Maybe The Perfect Murder Is The One That Was Never Committed ]
[ Then They Won’t Need To Worry About What They Omitted ]
[ But Not Admitted ]

[ From The Story They Would Have To Tell ]
[ Because There Is No Getting Back Your Soul Once It Is Headed
     Towards Hell ]

(1111)▪︎[ What Is Hope? … 12•13•2020 ]

[ What Does It Mean When Someone Exclaims That They
     Have Hope? ]
[ Could It Be Squashed When Another Person Says ( NOPE ) ? ]

[ Can Someone Go Through Their Whole Life Without Any? ]
[ That Would Be Uncanny ]

[ What Is The Difference Between The Words ( HOPE ) & ( FAITH ) ]
[ Can You Ever Get Them Straight? ]

[ Faith Can Be When You Believe In Something Or Someone Every
     Day ]
[ Hope Can Be Having Faith In Some Imaginary Way ]

[ The Two Words Can Be Intertwined ]
[ Both Are Kept In The Depths Of The Mind ]

[ Neither Can Be Based On A Command ]
[ Neither One Can Be Physically Held Or Touched By Your  Hand ]

[ Can This Be Something You Could Teach? ]
[ Not Preach ]
[ But You Would Still Have To Define Each ]

[ People Build You Up, Then Try To Break You Down ]
[ First You Are The Hero ]
[ Then They Try To Make You Into A Clown ]

[ They Would Even Paint The Frown On Your Face ]
[ & Then Take You Place To Place ]
[ Treating Like You Are A Disgrace ]

[ Who Do You Trust, Who? ]
[ How Many, Two? ]
[ One More Than A Few ]

[ You Never Turn Your Back On Anyone ]
[ If You Let Your Guard Down ]
[ …You’re Done ]

[ & Then ]
[ You Say { SANITY, SANITY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? } ]
[ You Feel It Coming Back ]
[ But When? ]

[ Little By Little, Bit By Bit ]
[ You Try To Light A Fire Under Yourself ]
[ But It Won’t Stay Lit ]

[ Why Do Others Try To Break You Down,  Why? ]
[ You Don’t Want To Be A Hero ]
[ You Want To Be Just A Regular Guy ]

[ Lie After Lie, Is What You Have Been Told ]
[ It Turns You Cold ]
[ & Makes You Feel Old ]

[ So How Do You Get Out Of This Whirlwind Mess? ]
[ You Thought You Were Blessed ]
[ Because Everybody Said ( YES ) ]

[ But You Figured Out Why They Did ]
[ Their True Intentions ]
[ Were Usually Hid ]

[ Now Everything Is Coming Out Of Wherever It Was Hiding ]
[ Is This How Your Worlds ]
[ Will Be Colliding? ]

[ The Worlds Of Real & Make-Believe ]
[ Is This The Point In Your Life ]
[ Where You Want To Leave? ]

[ What Is Real ]
[ What Is Fake
[ Whatever You Feel ]
[ Can You Take? ]

[ Reality Is A Transitional Thing ]
[ @ Your Wake, What Will They Bring? ]
[ Will They Sing? ]
[ All Of This, Must Be A Dream ]
[ Because Now You Hear The Telephone Ring ]

[ You Answer It Because Nobody Else Is Home ]
[ All You Get Is A Dial Tone ]
[ Once Again You’re Home All Alone ]

[ Lift Yourself Up ]
[ Dust Yourself Off ]
[ Drink Water From A Cup ]
[ To Get Rid Of That Cough ]

[ Learn To Rejoice When You Are All By Yourself ]
[ Show Yourself That You Don’t Always ]
[ Need To Be Entertained By Someone Else ]

[ Listen To The Silence ]
[ Feel Your Heart Beat ]
[ You Don’t Want Any Part Of The Violence ]
[ That Is Erupting On State Street ]

[ Turn Off The Light ]
[ & Then Try To Sleep Through The Night ]

(429)▪︎[ What Day Was That … 5•21•2021 ]

[ One Bright Sunny Wednesday, I Was Sitting Here Counting
Down The Days Until Friday ]
[ I Did Not Want To Go Too Fast So Then All Of A Sudden It
Would Be Saturday & Saturday Is One Day Too Far After Friday,
Which Is Where I Was Waiting, Wishing, Wanting & Needing To Go ]
[ So Wednesday Is The Day Before Thursday & Thursday Is The Day Before Friday, Which Is Where I Wished I Was ]
[ Because Friday Is Your Monday, Even Though It Is Right Before Saturday, Your Tuesday ]
[ If Saturday Is Your Tuesday Would That Make Sunday Your Thursday Or Your Wednesday? ]
[ If Monday Is Your Friday, What Day Is Your Wednesday? ]
[ Wednesday Is Hump Day Because It Is Three Days Away, Or After, Sunday & Three Days Away, Or Before From Saturday ]
[ But I Am Looking For Friday, The Day Before Saturday ]
[ Friday Is Always Saturdays Yesterday & Thursdays Tomorrow ]
[ Then What Happened To Thursday? ]
[ You Don’t Really Have A Thursday, Unless You Make Your Sunday Your Thursday & Still Be Able To Call Your Monday Your Friday ]
[ Tuesday’s Are One Of Two Days That Are Kind Of Looked Over, Around & Past ]
[ They Are The Day After The Day That People Dread That Is Coming ]
[ They Are A Long Ways Away From The Day That People Hope That Comes Faster, Friday ]
[ The Other Day That Is Glossed Over Is Thursday ]
[ But On Wednesday, Friday Doesn’t Come Until The Day After Tomorrow ]
[ Tomorrow Is Really Thursday, One Day Before Your Monday ]
[ But That Makes Monday Your Friday & Friday Your Monday ]
[ Then What Ever Happened To The Day Before Friday, Which Would Be Thursday? ]
[ If That Is Your Sunday Why Don’t You Work On Thursdays? ]
[ If You Worked On Thursdays I Would Be Looking Forward To Wednesdays Tomorrow, Not Saturdays Yesterday ]

(880)▪︎[ What? … 10•20•2020 ]

If Humpty-Dumpty Was Living In 2020 The Kingsmen Would Never Color Him Purple. Little Red Ridinghood Would Try To
Get Married In White, But The Little Bear Stood Up & Protested By Saying ( SHE IS FAR FROM PURE! ). Papa
Bear Would Say That She Stole More Than Porridge From
Our House. The 3 Pigs Co-Existed In One House But Ran A Mechanics Shop. Before Humpty Foolishly Went Up That
Wall His Chinese Restaurant Was Shut Down Because Of
City Wide Accusations That They Were Responsible For All
Of The Missing Cats & Small Red Haired Children. The
Lady That Lived In A Shoe Was Arrested For Running &
A National Meth Lab Ring. She Smuggled All Of Their
Products In The Left Rear Hubcap Of Old 1975 Yellow
Ford Pinto’s. If There Ever Was Something Found In The
Front Right Hubcap That Would Be Baking Soda That Was
Being Delivered To A Small Rural Town In Georgia. Wild
Coyote Actually Went On To Become A Republican Senator
Working For Trump. He Was Mugged Then Kidnapped By
A Child Porn Organization Gone Wrong. N.A.M.B.L.A. Took
No Ownership For This Incident. But They Did Leave Free
Pamphlets About Their Organization @ Many Trump
Recruiting Offices. The Wicked Witch Was Shot Down By
A Sniper With Ties To The Archie’s Gang. The Flintstones
Never Liked The Rubble’s Because Bam Bam Abused Dino
When He Was A Puppy. Popeye Did Love His Spinach But
Olive Oyl Was Extremely Anorexic Because She Would
ONLY Eat Celery & Creme Soda. Sometimes Olive Oyl Would
Steal His Pipe & Smoke Crack. Many Teddy Bears Threw
Up Their Paws, Got Tired Of The Hugs & Obscene Things
Done To Them By Young Boys & Joined The Teamsters
Unions. Doctors Have Found That The Donald Is Truly A Woman
With A Really Ugly Man-Face. 2020 Has Been The Worse
Year That We Have Ever Had This Year Besides Last Year
Leading Up To This Year That Was Two Years Prior To Next
Year After That. I Fear For Next Year Because There Is
Supposed To Be A Purple Bicycle Jello Ring Uprising
Going On During The 3rd Sunset Of Everyday That
Does Not Have A ( D ) In It. If Not Then,Then When, Men
Named Ken? It Would During The Uprising Of The Pink
Slugs Drinking Beer @ The Bars. That Would Be Something
To Hear.
