GLEAM of idea strikes inventors brain.
BLUNT critiques have brought near surrender,
SNIDE jests have robbed his joy. Yet
RETRY he will. Finally make the Segway cool.
Month: January 2023
Temptation
GLEAM in the eye like the glint off a gun barrel,
BLUNT and subtle as that gun’s blast.
SNIDE comments to self are halfhearted restraints as worthless as
RETRYing a torn parachute.

Chase…
‘Is this a CHAFE MOVIE,’ asked the lisper?
‘Hang on, I’ll ANNEX it online and
TRACK the information down.’
‘Don’t worry,
I found it on my phone. It is a CHAFE MOVIE.’
Renewing the Time
ANNEX these next few hours to circle a
TRACK in the park, browse a used bookstore,
CHAFE at the guy talking too loudly on his phone,
MOVIE to end the night.
And…Action
MOVIE scripts don’t parallel real life, where there’s no
TRACKS of music or chances to
ANNEX another take onto film. We
CHAFE at the Producer and Director to no avail.
Aggrandize
ANNEX more to your domain.
TRACK every win and gain.
CHAFE as limits dim your sun.
MOVIE of you: watchers glad when it’s done.

Out of sight
EnCRYPTed message tattooed on his
FLESH, the messenger travels with social
POISE, knowing no one will check the
POPPY imprinted on his hair-prickled neck.
Not Forgotten
POPPY in her lapel, she entered the
CRYPT with purpose and
POISE- albeit with spine bent and
FLESH sagging. Sixty years hence his face and this place were still not forgotten.
