True Life Funnies

 True-Life Funnies


As he threatened 

me with the knife 

I thought, 

“this isn’t the time” 


I had just come back 

from my shrink 

ready to do more work

on my things 


As he growled, 

“Give me your money!!!” 

I snarled, 

“I don’t have any...


...but if you want 

the debt on my cards, 

feel free for 25k!!!” 


I then assumed the pose 

part Shaggy-part Groucho 

I let fourth a growl 

straight out of GI-Joe 


He got scared and said, “Peace” 

Then I walked down the street 

I thought I should call the police 

Just then he robbed someone else 


We went down to the station 

where they new his name and location 

they had him under surveillance 

and were waiting for a warrant 


He was an English learner 

He seemed pretty nervous 

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to hurt him 

Or simply call his parents

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
