Extra Special Bitter"that's a wrap"
the deli counter
closes for the day
stgreenieDon't you know
the raven and crow
are squawking again
about flocking nonsense
It's #fascinating
that these birds of a feather
spend so much time debating
who is the purer shade
of absolute black
The whole fowl dispute
is truly cuckoo
Thoroughly enchanted was I
by her shadowy elegance
Like charcoal on the brush
her lovely countenance
was a fixed portrait
mounted on the heart walls
of my busted romance memories
til that close out day
when I myself revert to dust
captive audience
hiding my wallet
from the tableside magician
Monday morning commute
the vibrant colors
of fresh graffiti
The starving man
with the empty soul
is more attuned
to the current mood
of mass deprivation
than the oblivious fool
who gets junk satiated
with state based propaganda
The fields
were not as empty as he thought
which cramped his plans
for reflective peace and quiet
in this urban environment
littered with boisterous children
intent on enjoying play time
Like all the men
who came before
my resolve began to #waver
when I sampled
the exquisite flavor
of her luscious lips
for a quickie dessert treat
Like most flash enchantments
this was an empty transaction
Sweet but unfulfilling
Spring break
she goes to the beach
without me
The fields were not as empty as he thought
so this steamy sexual tryst
was videoed by drone technology
to capture their sin of infidelity
The cynical detective
in possession
of the cheating session
would take full advantage
of the blackmail opportunity
for personal profit
