FAUX PAS

an embarrassing faux pas,

or Sidewinder missile

up the old faux pas.

applause from younger set.

self-fulfilling prophesy, sort of,

but those contradictions 

keeps old farts on their toes,

never knowing, just what

the hell is coming next.

not that those youngsters give a rip;

imaginations on overload;

bored down to their toes.

cryptic, natural attrition,

with option, melt away slowly.

weird coincidence, maybe.

living in hope;  a very positive position.

remaining optimistic as 

world twirls a silly shade of

death over the highest horizon.

anger helps in golden times like these.

ingenuity helps when flushing does not.

maybe a good exorcism
would be solution.
but, somehow, I doubt it.

struck by lightning is
another avenue to pursue.
but, again, I doubt it.

well, here I be;
all full of good cheer,
and wisdom beyond
the great beyond.

so far beyond, may never
be realized; at least
in this time zone.

anomalies? maybe.
but, come on, anomalies
have been done to death;
may they rest in peace.

while visiting hell, 
heat was not all that bad,
but accommodations were terrible.

especially food;
wouldn't serve that crap
to a pack of raging demons. 

well, it was hell, after all. 
one should not expect too much
in the way of comfort.
