Dumbed Down

DUMBED DOWN

Let’s try sensible
The smart ones love it in us
They feel less lonely

Only Now Is: Senryu

ONLY NOW IS

Taking the next step …
Contraction? Or expansion?
… Imagination!

That Earnest Plea

THAT EARNEST PLEA

Eternal longing
Prays the long and short of it
Will arrive shortly

Win My Train Fare Home

Unrequited

UNREQUITED

That word
Unrequited

Oceans
Deserts

Encompassing

That pain

Those yearnings

Those learnings

Tonguetwister

TONGUETWISTER

Beyond this longing
Never a longing ever
Please linger longer

The Mourning After

THE MOURNING AFTER

It came around, a brimming jug
With a hearty invitation to chugalug
Alongside a smile, a longer sigh, a hug

Resolved to be careful, yet it seems easily mislead
Familiar mistake; I wake with banging head
And who’s this stranger in my bed?

THE MINE FIELD

How hard it can be
That learning to trust yourself
And then … Another!?!
