Isn'tness
If it never was what it should have been then,
Why is it constantly part of your conversation?
Something is enjoyed in the isn'tness of it.

Dump Their Do's Undone
Concealing one's dysfunctions,
Can lead to presumptions...
That 'anyone' can dump,
Their 'do's undone
On those who didn't see them,
Coming!

Who Thinks
How can anyone recognize someone who is crazed,
When that one represents the entire population?
One who thinks walks alone on a busy street!

Not The Quality
It is love he seeks...
Not the quality
Or the ability
Of the games you play!
And I should know.
I've been trying to get you to see it,
That way!

If It Started On A Petty Note
If it started on a petty note,
You will not find me...
Giving attention to it,
Until it ends.
I'm not into petty.
I will leave before it begins.

Observing You
To say your approach to life is boring,
Would be to admit...
My own life is not totally lived.
Especially if most of it is spent,
Observing you.

Determined To Prove Me Wrong
Are you worth the showing of my impatience?
I determined you weren't.
But you have determined to prove me wrong,
Each time I allow you to do it.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Owwww!
Why did you intentionally,
Step on my foot?
'I am a returner of deeds done.'
You could have at least said 'something'.
I had forgotten.

Some Folks Are Just Unavoidable
Some folks are just unavoidable,
No matter what is done.
But an avoidance must be attempted...
Or their evilness intended,
Will not be overcomed.

Toothless Floozies
Toothless floozies,
Take bites on bones
They know should be licked.
Not gnawed on by gums.
No matter how delicious,
These attempts are remembered.
