Intellectual Courtesy

Read a lot of books 
That's why I listen to you 
I miss the hubbub

The Future Yesterday

People labelled the circus, politics
My dream is simply to grow old
Artificial radio isotopes are cool
I prefer my soup with zero mushroom

Trees, plants, humans grow

Shortcuts to Happened Next

Move mountains for lust
Dry rivers for affection
Or just do like Doug E.
Dial 1- 900 - Lonely
Press pound 

Ask for Candy

Subjective Relativism and the Gap Between What is and What Seems

Jil lit up a cigarette 
Nurse Howe raised a eyebrow 
Little girl thought she stank 
Little boy guessed she also drank  

Jim cut his own forearm  
Doctor Crudup locked him up 
Little girl thought he went nuts 
Little boy guessed he got guts 

Woke up one day 
A ban on lung cell carcinoma 
Woke up today 
A Band-Aid and decreased stamina

Story of a Bush-League Quibbler

Lease me your reason
I'm starting to dream again
Half-done is half-done

The Hazards of Poetic Thinking

Broken mirrors, empty wallet
Failing to share one's wealth
Bleeding fingers, ink in faucet
Aiming to show more stealth
