Over a bunch of dirty, yellow rubber ducks in a black tub, is a poem with white font on a black background. GRIFTER Rehearsed lies Told routinely Ceremoniously toppled and unveiled Swimming in self-satisfaction Shading all attempts To take responsibility Then a loud crack A palm landed squarely Against an unassuming cheek Now a stewing anger Ready to explode Due to necessary exposure Clearly resigned to future revenge The heel will wait impatiently

GRIFTER

A poem on an image of a looping roller coaster that reads: Cluster B Manias Emotions are weasels Loneliness one day, snuggles the next Tells you you’re pretty or handsome Then drags you straight down As plain ugly Insipidly nostalgic too! So you hope nothing bad will happen Only to turn around and have it scream, Let’s have FUN Really, no hope on this roller coaster It’s not balmy, it’s not exciting Just the waiting for it to briefly stop

Cluster B Manias

For when you’re constantly, sadly all over the place.

Skating Lessons

Wearing my #green, #North Face jacket, I ventured on to the #ice to await my instructor. The rink was crowded, so #warnings were being tweeted constantly to let people know they should be careful. (1/2)

Street Photography Eruption

#Skyscraper framing
Finding #softness in #cork screws,
Points and hardline #shapes
Camera sight #vines upward
#Respected shot’s #orgasmic

Of #beasts and #devils
Fear mongered sanctimony

So here’s to the #dudes
Who turned #grief into wonder
And #time to rapture
#Tie one on in memory
#Read their obits with loud pride (2/2)

A Mirage in the Desert

Dapper #bachelor
#Chick magnet with #ruffled hair
And #inscribed cuff links
Winks, asks about your birth #sign
#Pets your dog, then blows a kiss

Domestic Rave

Life ain’t the Cleavers
Doing #housework with a #beer
And Kendrick’s smooth #grooves
Salty but cardio #warm
#Suspend chores to cuddle bae

Saturday Slumber Spar-ty

Going the #distance
Girded for #fights…. PJs
On, #leave snacks behind
Armed with plump, downy #pillows
To #lavish smacks on my foes

The #newsman announces
A #seismic #bounce echoing
Throughout our country
Leaving #rats scurrying ‘round
And adults in need of #hugs
