a unicycle costs roughly half as much as a bicycle
and that's the first thing that's made sense to me in a while

if there's a way out
why are we so still?

he played a sharp attack on the king's side
but allowed me to exchange pieces

as if throwing stones
was all he should expect


 

what's left to him is fantasy
because he married the girl of his dreams
before he woke up

dear Skaaa Dee

this abyss is quite glorious

thanks SL
I like that smiling picture of you there.
It suits you.

I just got back from the Dominican Republic
to a foot of snow on an eight car lane way.
In Inuit there are 60 words for the stuff,
Spanish just one.  

hi scott

enjoyed each one of them! also like the title very much!

hope you don't mind if i include one of my own:

The pen is mightier than the sword
it wrote the three little words:
God.

Rashmi, I don't mind at all,
and thanks!

I can't believe I forgot my pen and paper on my holiday.
My mind was in a sunny gear.

depression is cold and white
and has no smell at all

you can shovel it or wait 'til Spring

take a human being and remove all the space
what's left barely fills a thimble
everything else is the memory of you

on a foggy night the neon signs on 52nd street
still pull you in, out of nowhere
even if capital is missing its c
cars hurry and honk memories  

Success and failure
are two extreme poles;
cold.

In between are
warmer climes; I'm
told

the scales hold without dipping.

In search
of perspective
I write on lines
that converge
into a vanishing
point.

he traded character for persnicketiness
a general on his hill

alongside forefathers
and legends

grains and skin
the taste of midnight dew
to his lips  

he sold a real past
for distinction in the digital age

onions before bedtime

i scratched your bowls
with kitchen implements

promise me if i buy my own
you'll have nothing to say

we walked in a row, leash length
because it's logical, scouring
the lie,  like Klingons,
to make it ours

it's my birthday

and I feel I'm sliding down a big tube
or I'm on a hill with gravity pulling
not pushing
and a big bucket sits at the bottom
and I'm sure my foot will make contact

and how are you?

  

he swivelled from the white board
to the board table with a marker in his hand

you should have been at my all staff
last Friday afternoon. he called it all staff
and was smiling

it took more time than expected
for everyone to understand

I think this pretty much answers the question
what if Al Pacino or Robert De Niro could play the drums
and was born Canadian:

birds from rain

of evolution
 

Like this - lots said in that last two lines - M

thanks Michelle.
for the comment and for reading

they held it up, turned it
the ash made a hockey stick
as it hung from his mouth
 
i don't see it said the first
eyes blurred, a masterpiece is a masterpiece
even if a million people say so

said the second
but i don't see it either

mammals

even if man
has never been

still follow
trails

kind of interesting
although I do like galleries
and not much for video games

a lesson on figure drawing

she saw me as an outine
negative space between my arm
and fireplace

which she imagined
too to not be there

Industrialization


the King Charles Spaniel has no idea I'm master
because I possess the technology
called a leash

mysticism changed its name to science
when it explained the firefly

and a world full of trinkets
won't reclaim it

double thumbs up, scott!
