to separate house from foundation
you might reconsider
neighbors not to embitter
unless it behooves your location

you should know that you'll soon hear the clink
of the cuffs 'round your wrists
as the cops will be pissed
that you messed master shake's straw of pink

whom i shant introduce to my mom

it takes two to tengamos

first thoughts made public

perspiring, as at long last i get
with this blog, my web appetite whet
can fortunes blogs change,
posted poems well-arranged?
against such a claim i should bet
