They refer to me as a former smoker,the one who has a loving and hating relationship,not so much with cigarettes but with the smoke.Knowing the nicotine blackens lungs,fills your veins with ongoing smoke,and will one day take hours from your life,is not enough for a real smoker.They don’t care about the future, only until they

Breathing is hard to do when you are submerged,in water or milk or guilt or fear or anxiety,it doesn’t matter because each and every liquidor feeling will suffocate as much as any rope will do when tightened around your neck.That it is why when the powerful wrap the noose aroundthe collective thick neck as they

Hear me loud, hear me proud.Hear me roar for I will soar.Like a bird, not a turd.A good word for a losing nerd.Connect the dots to the large knot.My stomach holds gas as I have mass.The powerful will dance as I glance.The room fills with smells as it is in the cell.Hell can’t be far

Your feet hurt, keep going, walk on, forget the pain, it’s okay, inhale the stress, break your arm, stub your knee, make noise, yell as loud as you can, your life sucks right now, we all know. As all the other feet, cut off from the ankles, forced to walk with help, it’s going to

all kinds of colors come to mind purple, green, red, white, and black all attached to stems on a vine they get chewed and swallowed they land somewhere in the stomach my over-indulging appetite keeps me in control of the unseen destiny all kind of poisonous berries do not eat the yellow, purple, and blue

The difference between you and I begin. When you hear a baby cry, you want to get close. When I hear a baby cry, I take a step back. The difference between you and I continue. When you close your eyes, you see an angel. When I close my eyes, I see a monster. The

Studies show smoking may cause lung cancer. If you are pregnant, you should not smoke. Even smokeless nicotine is bad for you. This can cause mouth cancer. Vaping was all the rage. This isn’t good for the body either. But if you stop smoking, you might gain weight. Crunching candy and downing sodas make you

A good wave from a hand is hard to come by. I should know. I do know. You don’t want to know about the left hand. The trouble I tend to dive into. I am followed into the bathroom. Trouble leaves dirty handprints on the walls. I yank old memories from the sink, like long

Be more like a worker bee. Worker bees do not ask questions. They shut up when they are hurt. Their minds are empty. The tasks done are meaningless and dull. Worker bees are such good followers. They do not want to lead. They have no personality. The buzzing noises are a means to no end.

First point your contact information is fake.Your name is not what you say it is, and your last name is not spelled correctly.Did you even look at what you wrote before sending it?It is pretty clear what you did is false.Instead of reviewing, revising, and conducting grammar checks, you were in a hurry.Second point your

All the read texts will not change the situation.Fancy words never really fit into this.All the abnormal connection is gone.Describing it as tragic does make sense.All the unanswered calls will not make anyone feel better.Meaningless words have been tossed around too much.All the diseased energy is dead.Viewing it as humor does not help the perspective.All

Definitions tell the truth.The story of our days.Pages of letters and words in the open.Characters ignite bolder, brighter, and better.The honesty increases.Pushing us further to resolution.We can no longer ignore.The truth will dangle.Our sentences tighten.Synonyms are different now.The onus must fall on the participle.

Missing yellow corncob kernels Inside the biggest set of chompersOpen your mouth wideReplace them with white kernelsThey were grown especially for your big fat mouthThe stories have been passed aroundYou were a wild man in your youthThe screaming legend continuesYou might have less workable kernelsThey are enough to bite downChew anything enteringSpit up what is
