Pavlovian Poetics

Time to spit it out— 
While you were 
 
Whiling time away trying 
To find those perfect 
 
Aperçus to define a life 
Charmed to the fullest, 
 
The ingredient par excellence that was
Always found to be missing somehow, 
 
Was lollygagging on the tip 
Of a most salivating frazzled tongue.

Ode Against Benumbing Ennui

sing  
 
if 
you 
must 
 
sing 
your 
heart 
out, 
 
sing
 
even
though 
you 
don’t 
feel 
 
like 
it.

Stoic Curmudgeon's Dire Prognostication

Nonchalant neophytes, always keep 
Foremost in mind hindsight 
 
Works best when all hope 
For better foresight sucks, 
 
Stuck in the muck 
Of its gutters, 
 
Forever at rest.

Serial Killer Offstage At The Theater Of The Absurd

Now that the next scene's set 
For perfect execution, logically 
 
You should all just sit back 
In your seats and wait— 
 
For my entrance surely 
Promises to set your hair 
 
On fire once more.

Lullaby Of A Procrastinating Insomniac

What in hell are you waiting for? 
Go on and fall 
 
Asleep, you most sheepish 
Example of God’s work 
On Earth, 
 
You have only so many 
Sweet dreams left before you 
Stop counting 
 
Once and for all 
And make that crybaby 
Shepherd of yours keep
 
His promise of forever,
Lasting sleep.
