plume
is gilded
thrilling quill
I write with
/ tilted /
–convoluted
& conceited
insecure
& prone to bleedin’
–it’s been branded
& bedazzled
–brushed with air
&
moussed & frazzled
–buffed up nicely
–thricely plated
–dipped in silver
–stamped & rated
–full of molten
~veins~
–of plat’num
–such a pen
I’m glad I’ve got one!

Auto Pilots

thinking can be onerous
a spinning wheel
on synapse bus
a thousand loops
in Voids-R-Us
a complex groove
~in disco club~
it really asks a lot from us!
But Gates
has changed that process up
freed our brains from thinking stuff
gave those Jobs to Mothers Bored
Bit that Apple
–f*cked us more–
then logging on
with sticks from Tree
of Knowledge vast
–but streamed & screened–
we settle in
like Lambs in lee
ignorant
(so blissfully)
of side-effect
as Cursors

A Writer Shade of Pale
I’m having fun playin’ around with the term (aka phonetic sound) of palate–pallid–pallet & palette…which mean respectively: taste, pallor, cot, and artist’s board for paint. I’ve already eliminated the latter 2, while these next 2 “sketches” have fun with the former coupla’…
What else. Drawing in Illustrator–I am having a blast with this program, and look forward to sharing what I work on now–when it’s done. I tried to sign up for a class at City but they don’t have one just for Illustrator….lucky I got an A in it first time out, soz acclimating to the new menu is not too difficile.
H-e-n-n-yway. A day-dreamy, too-hot-to-play-outside-yet day, hope you guys are good.

a writer’s pallid
is understandable
we don’t get out much–
for all the rocks we push uphill
they tend to roll down
Yabba Dabba Doo style
steamrollin’
Fred where he paces,
soles an’ all…

a writer’s palate is
unique
either very refined
–read: picky–
or hogwash happy
there is no in between for the famished scribe
no TV dinner
“good enough”
no fast food
“slow enough”
no Twinkie
“twinkly enough”
it’s tits on a ritz,
crème de la crème,
or the pits.
(olive pits, though)
since writers so infrequently
~snack~
busy as they are,
with their hands.

He brings Spirits in a flask, &
pretty reliably, too,
who cares if he’s a Zeitgeist casualty?
Weave all been there…
collaterally damaged,
an’ loopin’ like
6 flags–
hell it’s what séances are for!
Ah, but back to John…
…who has remarkable penmanship
by the way, &
if the flask empties
before Happy Hour, you roll with it–
that 5 o’clock Shadow
works wonderfully well,
& subtracts nothing
from a sunny day, ’cause it isn’t as if
stubble reflects.

5 Minutes on the Clock

the daily prompt
you crack me up
asking if we’d work
an’ stuff
if money
was an issue moot
I swear to God
you’re just too cute!
what is it
we do each day
if not labor?
it ain’t play!
cropping pictures
punching say
filling web up
AOK
♦
as last time that
my rabbit ears
appeared
they
popped
from
my arrears
and humorous
as that appears
this sphere ain’t why
my bank-drafts clear.
♦
I’d work for free
is what’s germane
a higher calling
bears my name
desire
to discover
same
& learning
truth of Living game.
