a huddle backed man lives by candlelight
hunched far over a dark wooden table
with eyes aglow in casting a fable.
Stone and wood, well barriers . . .

The sands of the drought whirl in my face
As I quest for my mother in another's embrace
It stings and it bites and makes my eyes water
As I fruitlessly wade through Oedipal fodder
While trudging . . .

on late winter's dream
and in full moon light

riding with the windows down
blustering winds from Mother Nature
through landscapes that show no bounds
asphalt lines slip blurry by
as winds ruffle out the cares

who considered her gender ancillary
among men of power
she raised quite a holler
unabashedly shaming them skillfully

sits on my lap annoyingly fritty
bites at my hand and blinks at me purty

and that makes me better than you.
I believe in following the Geneva Conventions
even though the enemy does not
