YOUNG MAN


CAROL O'CONNELL-IT HAPPENS IN THE DARK


complicated life,
made so by complications
all the live life through.

and then, curtain comes down.
not just down, but down
with a raging roaring flourish.

busting right on through 
and through and bang!
done and gone and ended.
pickup pieces and move on and on. 


all the live long day, hey
all the live long day
he had had some gambling debts
all the live long day
when she found out
she had him put away
all the live long day, hey




wacky, psychotic, but
oh so delicate 
unconscious as we charge forward
while skirting clumsy pride
and a dumb schmuck preaching
cretin dance at old folks
bingo romancing night
every other night or so.


 whoever hates them self, is incapable of any love for anyone.

AROUND

Image
was messing around when around came around, started messing with me. messed me up pretty good. won't ever be the same. in a bunch of pain, all because was foolish enough to start messing around with around. some fools know no shame. around set me straight. Spencer Kope-Collecting the Dead a rendezvous with peanut-head, in proximity with a feather-head. assail those varmints! grim prognosis till further notice. conscience not required here, although, considering changes. whatever flows goes. ho, but rhetoric flows so beautiful; so smooth and evenly; such loveliness.  cheers! no hypocrites here, unless one considers peanut-head. Rambo has left the building, chasing after Elvis. nothing dignified here, folks; try next blog. but alternatives, what this does to sensitive sense of smell. sniffer alert! isles zero to infinite. tightrope dancing, with compression calling: grab your partner, ...
