157 (407) Beggars understand more of the world.
112 (324) Church is too extravagant.
I can without a teacher-
Adept at best-
I can without a preacher-
The mind suppressed
For when I learn I eat the world
Diminutive digest
164 (419) The bravest go through darkness.
Adjudicate thine absolute—
Death’s tendrils must disturb—
The Stolid—lacking Resolute
Fall flat on Heaven’s curb—
When Midnight halts the crystal Clock—
Luminosity—abscond—
Then the time to skip a Stone
Across the truthful Pond—
185 (466) The poor landscapes are better than riches.
Why consume the twisted aspirin
When feverfew-the same
Why pour the acid Benadryl
If ginger stakes a claim
No matter how the witches brew,
Enzymatic gas,
Nature proves the truest hue,
Medicine surpass!
221 (543) The silent man is the grandest.
The most sinister of stories
Without a word
And Alibaba's gold
Is not conferred
He who does not talk
Commands a vast empire
Of perkier ponds
And queasier quagmire
242 (583) Every dies the same way.
Seal branded on a document,
burns as brightly as without,
Fancy swash on inkblot’s splosh,
Reads similar-no doubt
Must we judge the paper’s pride
Potpourri of fonts perplexed
Or can we-when frills dissolve
Delve the deeper text
266 (641) Size ignores the small. When people die it is because of flies.
Bee, resign!
Bee, submit!
In cocoon of string-befit!
Human, yield!
Human, cede!
Stung in hive of greed!
411 (1071) Perception sets an object fair.
You freeze a gushing waterfall
In camera deceit
No longer will he roar
In form complete
Yet only in the Photoshop
Pixels red or blue or green
Tinker, tamper, swivel, swap,
Expose the shiniest sheen.
544 (1627) Class distinction is useless.
While they sifted through the others
I slept eternally
Discolored stem, they could not stand
So death finally came to me
Deep inside my core I wish
There was a purer knife
Slice past the slight mishap
Unveil the inner life!
