Chained to salt-shocked rocks in a rocks off bikini, waiting for the kraken Back lined and scabbed from yesterday’s savage whip cracking Dragging a penitent boulder through a cold shoulder canyon I never asked myself could or can I, things just happen Living hand to mouth, mouth to hand, standing out in hand outs Breathing…

There’s life in the old dog yet, said the lifeless old dog to the vet.
Once esteemed fighter fails to redeem in nailbiter His chin’s been seen to, leg isn’t great either But there’s grit and dog-genes, you can’t deny it Elbows creaking like ichor-leaking Talos As Jason sails away with intact stolen payload Tying to reach higher tiers, better seats Still seeking, still willing to bleed to trap the…

PLANNING PLOTS FOR CROPS ON MAPS
Electric whip that one’s charging Next level drip I’m overcharging Chagrin me and I’ll start charging Don’t rely on largesse to fill your charges Flintlocks discharging from Brittas to Marley Treated to the delightful sight of a retreating British Army I’ve got an army of darkness on the march On the city doors barging I’m…
