Exchanging my edge
–I live on a ledge–
head in the clouds all the while,
bridges are threads
~ desire & dread ~
a tapestry woven for miles.
Method I use,
> enabling ruse <
to balance my break from the crowd–
–view what I choose
↑exaggerate Muse↓
to those who live life un-Aloud.

Little Read Writing Hood
–wrote a lot
it did her good
writing of a day gone by
explaining
why
she lost the guy,
and how a maiden
mostly good
would trade her halo
for a Hood……
a cowl that without a priest,
is frightening—to say the least
since only creeps
will hide a face,
that reaps the spoils of human race,
writing off, with little trace
–beyond a page
in formless Book
that predates Kindle,
E, and Nook
and reads like fiction
–saving grave
>epilogue<
on Final page.

a barker at market
marketing parkas
told me to park it
beneath his marquee…
Remarking my burqa
was yesterday’s jerkin
and hurtin’ for certain
the way I’m perceived…
Shaking out tunic
in shaking down movement
he barked that most sheiks
are taken with frayed
–fringes and edges
as long as alleged
unraveling hems
are finest of suede…
Then trading my jacket
in bartering racket
before I could counter
my coat was replaced,
by fast talking honcho
hawking pseudo-suede ponchos
to passing by pawns
showing poor fashion taste.

U can’t get mad at faeries,
especially demon faeries,
it isn’t good for anyone concerned…
no, never.
It’s not as if it’s the demon faerie’s fault.
Luci in the Skiff with Demons
assigns as she will
an’ that’s all there is to it,
particularly if a faerie gets the business end of the Pitch’
(the big Pitch)
as the 8th circle
as residence
is an eternal ass pain
& makes one quite sidewise, for all the precognition, cheap knock-offs, and flattery
…
as anyone in the 7th circle has already told you, I’m sensing
…
Q: when are 2 circles 1, yet infinite, and still only part of 9?
A: see Dante…
It isn’t as if a demon faerie doesn’t do good while she’s here, too,
along with the requisite # of shenanigans
–spritely activities to spite that Pitchy Bitches intent–
but the end justifies,
doesn’t it?
well, maybe
But you can’t look for nobility in demons.
You can appreciate the extreme duality a hybrid represents, however.
chiefly 1 on 1
since 2x the trinity
is 6, and—well, you see where I’m going with this
>not in Bedrock, anymore<
to Hellywood & Back because that’s beside the *points*….
Y the number of people
inspired
guided
and brought together by a demon faerie can be profound
–to an outside observer.
Not the demon faerie, though.
Not to brag, but I set the bar, here.
Uninspired & posing ways to lose herself.
It’s how it is, was, and must be– it seems–
yes, always.

We call it the hash tag, the pound sign, but never the number symbol–the term & use this chicken generally applies to the tick-tacker.
a breathtaking beauty, she was asthmatic
a real knockout, she had a fine left jab
the belle of the ball, she was a ringer for my last girlfriend
built like a brick house, she was no easy lay…
an unparalleled looker, Eileen put me off-balance
If you want to feel better about being too broke to vacation, watch Poseidon or Jaws…
my restless legs kept me tossing & turning all night. Some knee aches can do that.
cat toes or Gato??
which one is Spanish for kitty?

How does a hummingbird handle the rain?
and what about bumblebees…
are there ‘brellies
and wellies
to help out these fellies
or without do these pilots complain?
How do pond dwellers deal with a drought?
the tadpoles, the fish, and the skitters…
is there office
to process
the loss of the faucet
and if not what goes on with these critters?
How does a wolf pack recover from fire?
a bear, or a deer, or a moose…
are there builders
with guilders
to refill
the wilderness
replenishing pine tree & spruce?
However it is, these beasties then live,
I’ll wager that this much holds true…
they don’t blame
the rain
or the flame
for their pain
they change tack, since reaction was due.
