Zone Order Resistance


worrying declarations part of an external threat
placed in a difficult situation 70 years put into question
the Transatlantic bond order global peace can survive

a coordinated wall of legal resistance
an awakening the administration major issues

Hold a debate,

Days to Forget


Remind us why we fell in love in the first place.
The little kids who don’t know how to be grown up,
It’s easy to forget that.

Lost in the streets of nonstop mystery
That tests us to find out who ‘us’ is
In the days that made us forget.

It’s easy to wonder that despite this age together,
Nobody could have predicted that
We can still forget why we fell in love.

Making a Man


Misogyny is a Kingdom.

For a debate of an appearance.

But there is no set kingdom,
And the man died from a long wait.

The Twitching Habitat


On the verge of France and California
Causing their strategy to collapse,
A tricky mechanism, a hungry bacteria.

Starlings are forced to inhibit the body
Scavenging for their habitats and lose,
Some of them have been found to go hungry.

No doubt, the birdwatch will be on
When we change our behaviour to conserve energy,
For the next stomach-distressing extinction.

As a self-described "old drunk”
foiled by the confoundingly high pressures to create it
It’s a little surreal

I do see the point of getting drunk

It says they’ve cracked one more

That Consuming Posture


In the town's map, one dozen windmills stop.
If potent accusations of the principle can breathe,
it's the air that has beaten him back.

The younger generation seem interested.

by using lasers to launch an albatross;
but is that real hunting?

Graph of Languages


The regime of daily speech has 57 different states,
each almost as tricky as the last.
It's possible to further slice and dice it, to make

even the opening of each syllable impossible to learn.
The aggregate swaths of fluent momentum
have us caught in the lilt of a calming new language.

(It's a mixture of "uhs" and "ums.")
If it could speak, it might say, "Come on, people,
make stuff up about me! Among other topics."

Over An Echo


The voice-centred jets were about comet homework;
they are preparing for comment, like about a comet,
the period seen around their back.

Time's devices watched the unnamed speaker,
in clockwork outbursts, echo, like about
repeatability to parts and origins, or rotation of

synchronised cameras around similar connected television.
The voice anticipated the taking (from the next voice),
yet from time's thermostat, surprise flows like weather.

Tumbleweed in Vegas


The hairy weeds cascaded downtown in unprecedented swarms,
where they were spotted shopping, drinking,
and singing karaoke.

One aristocratic tangle haunts the Honeymoon Hotel.
Another drove a Maserati right into the local supermarket
(to get a carton of dry milk, obviously).

Looking like scarecrows at the beach,
they have taken over the technology and homes of humans.
But relax; the Lucky Dollar has experience with profligacy.
