it’s bad to whirr-y
…
to sit & spin
…
to let the mind
loop de loop
…
like that
ear-a-tating
Muse
(ackk!)
that plays
round and round
in
elevators
(going down)
an’grr
–it riles you
it makes you
diss•ee…
plenty diss•ee,
and nobody likes
a come plainer
…
come pretty!!
(instead)

Alpha bet on
arts of letters,
bluffing tough
& leery bettor,
–in a row from A to Z
graphemes kept good company…
met a miss
who crossed his I’s,
dotted T’s
& questioned guise,
–sent him for a loop de loop,
blending series into soup…
out of line
& out of order,
in a stew
& smudging border,
–characters whose P’s & Q’s,
went unguarded, 2 by 2…
but even so
the symbols mixed
forming hearty
synthesis
–since truth is more than what U C,
but meld of your reality.

A fight club’s
a fright club,
away-from-the-light club,
it’s stern words,
and spurn words,
a-cause-for-concern words,
its mad feel,
is bad feel,
and-ultimate-sad feel,
will grieve you,
and cleave you,
and-always-upheave you.

if you bell kitty
by rights, you oughta
leash dog.
kitty counts on
the element of surprise
when hunting
just as dog
depends on
running attack,
and surprising elements can come into
prey.
when so announced
can Freaky Friday,
when so restrained
and roll over reverse
bad kitty!
(good dog!)
and unstudied
runs by cat
are never good
–missing and hissing
you’ll need to muzzle kitty
and dog
champs at that bit.
alternately sticking his neck out
oh that hurts
(hare standing on end)
and turning circles,
–but never settling in.

you can dress
words up fancy
~choose~
super script
&
font’n flow
&
other
keyboard calligraphies, that
lend elegance where eloquence is not…
you can put them
in
eye-talics,
those annoying showstoppers
that skew reading
more than the slanted term
itself
wink-wink
& you can underline them,
too
(and even twice)
to visually compensate all that’s
not sub textually there,
(or anywhere in between them)
you can bold them,
and high-lite them,
(isolate) and
wingding them
strikethrough them and
just CAP them if you must–
–if being when all else fails—
&
–else being succinctness—
but ultimately there’s not a dam thing to be done
(with them)
when the words themselves
fail.

You spend a life
day by day…
–like coins—
it’s the rate of exchange for experience.
some good,
some bad,
some Jimi Jimi Jimi,
(all backward guitar) and
youth is its currency, and like the young
boy, can you throw that around!
living large and racking up
deferred debt…
on a wing & a promissory note the
bank doesn’t lose like infrastructure
and eventually,
even for the IT generation
—you know,
the one you’re a part of—
youth’s traded in for middle-aged
gold,
some fool’s,
some alloy,
some heart-shaped,
and man, it’s better to watch where you invest
this
calling off all those deferred debt collectors,
and bending over to snatch those
lucky coins miser-like
–back permitting—
but ultimately,
the aged will have its
rabbit-eared
way…
trailing nothing but dust…
and Peppy, its better to quit the game
early on,
some bluff,
some bravado,
some borrowed–
while you still have
some sense
–to leave on the table.

you can’t always wait for
im perfect conditions
to move and shake
sometimes—
you buy a wind machine
–when a tornado watch is just a trend—
you tie up a hammock
and call it a squirrel suit—
one you change into at Verizon
wireless
–who go the extra distance
(long shots)
to keep customers happy–
and with this quasi-cape,
soar all the way
to Technicolor
–unless Technicolor is obsolete, then try
hi, deaf.
sometimes trainers
are enough
scuffed though they are, and rube free
–heels to click
to find your way home–
as long as you put one in front of the other
(between dance moves)
following that Northern bat signal
in the sky.
