can I hold your interest?
captivate you?
a butterfly, aimless in a breeze
or a moth, suicidal to a flame
I only live to entertain
are you not entertained?
how we exist
appears only in name
I only stay to go insane
are you not the same?

vacuous oration
words on words
he flipped the bird
and entertained
absurdity
‘n’ torn
paper’s frayed
kaleidoscope image
he is his cage
his father’s father was delayed
in learning virtue
was the way
and still today
a family pays
absurd’s the word
you heard it
hear it first
from me
and then find a qualified source
for I have a message
that demand’s to be bottled and
caught and released
that beast, the words on words
you’d rather she’d heard
thather than the ones you …
wish!!!
you could amend
[Narrator: *coughs* I hate to bring that up again]
yet the part demands to be played
and so another family paid
karma sweet, then karma tart
karma baked in humble pie
ripens as happiness and
fortunes that fly
as the reins of wisdom
slap their steeds
we’ll leave samsara
and all its feasts
before the bottle rolls on shore
‘fore the greatest battle,
raw guts gore
‘fore Dharma is lost forevermore
for the 11th is so far away
seeming like an eternity –
too long to let my family pay
so nonsense verse I offer up
like empty teacup
stainless pot
water boils
yet is not hot
for all the teachings yet to come
may each have meaning, every one
and ‘fore this verse starts making sense
I’ll lose the train of th . . .
like I’ve lost cents
a lazy rhyme
an uneven rhythm
to trip the orator
a great let down
is samsara’s treasure 🤑
he is coming
he is coming
he has come
thank you
thank you
thank you
goodbye

learning disability
I refuse to learn
how options appear
and reappear
to be watched
to be played, as they say
as it’s called
as it’s a toy, a game
we buy into, pressing
play, a button, into
plastic, cold and hard into
flesh and piercing mind
reflex, concerto into messiness
miserly caution, mimics, perfects
fake British accent, dying intellect
started to make sense, now derelict
started to take care, yet now neglect
began to change, but now nonsense
imitation meat – for vegans, eggless
but frozen semen – ah, I digress
an eagle’s search, a patriot’s shame
poorly timed speech or heart’s first flame
dying breath meets empty fame
a speech like this
a poem in rhythm
a face uncovered
past life, disgraced
pointless in theme,
its cadence poor
rhyme lacks importance
its topic, a bore
lost life, discovered
meaningless, in vain
still I cannot help but hope
they make me solid –
exist me in name
press play, the button
enter the future shop
click submit when prompted
and buckle up
