The fields
were not as empty as he thought
so he had to run
across the endless plain
as if traversing
an obstacle course
that mirrored his jagged life
like a way too obvious metaphor

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry #poem

What time is breakfast?
queried the privileged man
who viewed himself a king
to his exhausted wife
whom he viewed dismissively
as the hired help

Coroners determined
he died with a full stomach
of eggs and arsenic

#fromoneline #poetry #poem #amwriting

What time is breakfast?

I missed it?

Slept through the time parameter?

Damn

Why must meals
be at the mercy
of the fickle clock?

Just like the rest of us
always dawdling
behind the times
tardy stragglers

#poetry #fromoneline #poem #inkmine

What time is breakfast?

I'm having mine in bed

With you hopefully

Though you are a thousand miles away
your sultry syllables sway
over the text airwaves
in such a stimulating way
it makes me feel
all hot and sticky

I just pray you are real

#foxprose #fromoneline #poetry #poem

What time is breakfast?
is the go to query
for binge drinkers
seeking solid sustenance

Break out the eggs and beer
for a little alcohol absorption
as dawn breaks over the diner
for the blurry patrons
who survived the carnage
of the previous evening

If you turn it clockwise
do it til it hurts

Pain is the cleansing agent
for us of the Animal Class
whom civilization has made numb

When you separate the beast
from it's core instinct
we became domesticated
and easier to control
but damn
it ain't US anymore

If you turn it clockwise
and do a 360 revolution
you will return
from whence you began
though if you are in the groove
your proximity
vertical location
will be
a bit lower
in a slightly
tightened position

In other words

You are screwed

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry #poem

f you turn it clockwise
best rotate with it
to maintain proximity
with the best
upright viewing perception

You may look silly
and get a little dizzy
standing on your head
but maximizing knowledge
is well worth the goofy impression

#inkmone #fromoneline #poetry #poem #amwriting

If you turn it clockwise
you will tighten the vise
and create a real pressure calamity
for the wedged head within

Fortunately
we are callously numb
to the screams of agony
emanating from the poor bastard
we wish to persuade vigorously

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry #poem

Give the deck another shuffle

Deal us a new regime

We'll supply the armaments
and military expertise
to take out the bad guys

Plant the flag of freedom
in the ashes of the rubble
of the rogue nation we just broke

Now we own it

Shit :(
