Time and space
Numbers and letters
No time to chase
What makes me better
I look in the mirror
And not see me
I see the other
You want me to be
Who is that guy
I don't recognize
I don't ask why
And just live the lies

Not to worry. She's doing alright.
Matter of fact it don't bother her.

William McGonagall gained notoriety as an extremely bad poet who exhibited no recognition of, or concern for, his peers' opinions of his work.
I rhyme the slime from your tv-set
I see you ain't nothing yet
I bet you shriek like Bernadette
And cringe a Lafayette
There is no you and me 
I stand it when you pee
When some pern nanke
quits Shane & the Wankee
me bellows drinking
even more
than you thinking

Here in 2024, after all this country has been through, the electorate and politic has brought forth these two 
as the best that we can do
for the future of our country. 
Translates a lot to me. Translates a lot to us all. 
(ears cupped, or covered?) 
Now must we talk about the lesser of two weevils without deflection or fuzzy focus.
Media mire and hocus pocus

Seems the tragedy of a starving reason 
this modern man season
to the point of an abundant logical reckoning. 
Farming a feral freedom. 
Perfect soil. Perfect weather. Perfect seeds. 
Perfect produce. Perfect understanding. 
After all, what is blood for, otherwise? Dress it to spill.

Big, peeling old mansion on the hill. All the slopes a fill. A tent city festival of lights surrounding.
Navigation confounding. Babbling towers of culture compounding.

Prisoners of conscience, it renders them thirsty yet patriotic still? Hungry and fed on appeal?

Yet

Peace peace, there is no peace. More and more a golden fleece.

Perfect gaze, thoughtful glaze. Perfect grace, gentle space.
Conformed and confirmed the time apace. Till the end of dearth do us part ways.

Free form accompaniment; reeds and percussion. Brushes on symbols
soft at first, watery trem
equalized when mixed with drone
strings


This one is entitled:

Weird Post To Form/Forum
Numbers 69 and 365

From where comes the gripper
banana foot flipping downslope slipper
wave at the sky a sickly flipper
still hanging on, still dropping dipper
in the well well well
What have we found here
there down in that well
