“Wear Too Many Hats”

To those who live in the digital world
Think fewer not more.  Too many are 
Too quick to jump on.  To dispirit this and
Cast down that.  To venerate them and 
Revere those.  Led to think you are free.
Only to sanctify the histrionics of the impotent.

“12”

Feeling mislead about leaving.
My own knowing won't make
Wrong aching goodbyes care.
Crying time before back to Monday.

“Conceited”

You smile words that are 
Boorish, ostentatious, and whimsical
To explain it all away.

Your desire to sanitize through language
Is ineffectual and unmanageable.
I see through your malefic designs.

Words do not make one saintly.
The beatific are incorporeal.

“7”

Crying woman walking out.
Suitcase, station, town-gone.
Lying luck, sad heart.
Half tired nobody blues.

“4”

Monday morning lonesome, aching moan.
Empty, dead work.
I need money.
Can't trouble about a misleading blame.

“Gallimaufry”

Your words are synonyms for armament.
A peddler of malignity. Trying to sell a
Magahit of leanness.

Take a breath.
Realize my lenity is not
Owed to your benevolence.

Self-worth is for the self.
It's not for you to sell.
You evil pitchman.
