More of my shorts? Which of these do you like?
*****
Ala Kazam!
Master of illusion
Mirror boxes, false bottoms
Behold! In my hand! What’s in the other?
The rabbit needs some rest
The Barker beckons
“Step right up!”
I’ve seen this show
Everybody knows
He ain’t gonna’ cut her in half…
*****
Boring
I’m bored by a horrible burden
This terrible boredom of mine
I sit here and wait ’til it’s over
But I get very bored every time
I try to ignore just how boring
The boring old boredom’s no ride
I pray it will all soon be over
’cause boredom is so hard to rhyme
*****
Buck Up
The one in the mirror is me
Nobody else there on the glass, you see
I reach inside the reflection
To wipe away fear and dejection
If you’ll hold the glass up
I will not give up
I’ll fix my collar and tie
And we’ll go outside
In the sun you and I
And celebrate
We are alive!
*****
Prey
The arrows fly by, missed,
Flesh kissed, grazed,
They persist, hunting me,
I hear grunting, they’re slow
I, unwanting to die, runaway!
Bee! How ya been? Me? I got suspended…

Do you have any long-johns? It’s getting a little nippy out there.

They all have unique possibilities! Here’s my suggestion, since no one can truly help you in this ordeal…only suggest…put these away for two weeks…when you read them again, you yourself is going to slap your own head and say,”Wow! I could have had a V-8 while revising these idiotic things”…by then perchance they may seem idiotic…mine always do!!!

Buck Up.
Beautiful. The Agony and the Ecstasy.
Reminds me of a line in Dark Side of the Moon — “Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way . . .”
