Fight or Flight

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.

Ver-Knack Knack…Who’s there?

 
so totes!
YOLO, MOFO

& since spirituality

is the true religion

I need you to share if you agree…
 

Agree that

1 share = 1 LIKE

for the fight against:

ignorance,

hypocrisy,

oppression,

ALL CAPS,

&

Big Brother,

and brother, you are some kind of commie if you don’t.

Only kidding

(JK!)

laugh out loud without smiling at all,

my friend

(?)

keeping in mind

“you should be writing!”

and that:

“books are for reading–not faces”

*said no one ever *

and that only in Norway

can you attend college free of charge

Yet only in America

is chocolate actually a salad

(meme for meme, a better trade-off)

Whereas only in the World

does its most exciting man abstain from drinking, occasionally

but when he does imbibe

–when he does–

shit howdy,

!

Let’s just say, he shouldn’t be on facebook

he never clicks on even one cancer survivor’s story

not one!

proving what an a**hole he well & truly is

…when he is, of course, being an a**hole….

On a bridge,

It seemed the perfect place…
 
 
Linked by cortical sill,

whenever I go to h↑gh altitudes

my nose bleeds,

and I have epiphanies!

Hold up.

Eye wanna be precise:

Lots of epiphanies,

whereas at sea-level—
 
 
(lol…See level)

*Lots of Love*

(Cee level)
 
 
—Neither of these views jibe,

doubling my vision

& crossing it.

Bugle Lessons

pyscho-fairyI am a fairy

serial killer

I live in Whimsy!

right next to Assh*le land

right next to Candyland’s barrio,

and I am full of energy!

Dark energy…

frownie face

but oh…

it is so VERY energetic.

It is about 90% of the whole, and un-Tapped!

star power

Siblings attack

didja know…

animal siblings

wild kingdom

vying for teat.

the Naked Ape

is no different in that sense

survival of the fittest

just more cunning.

I’ve relocated…

(baggage found & boxes unpacked)

‘moved right in with Pandora

(our sometimes cat, too)

and woo, Nellie!

is there some shit in this house!

An abysmal stink emanates from the basement, to the nursery, to the attic,
 
 
 
(which seems appropriate given the circumstances)

and though I generally like playing with

Pan’s things…

I do!

(Dora, Dora = the Explor-ah)

I wish I could find the way outside of this “funhouse”

its

freak show reflections,

Ames rooms,

and infinite Escher stairs

are made of cards, and

quite likely to blow over

if jarred.
