To be the first of...

We fight
Like
A cock and a hen
Hungry...
Thirsty...
Beastly humans watch.

She Never Let Her Daughters Keep Anything MessyPersnickety fussbudget never had a mess
Raised two daughters – Wilhemina and Tess
They both became hoarders by age seventeen

things i needI don’t need the sun;
no friends, no car
I don’t need books,
no name, no telephone,
I don’t need Homer,
neither croissants, nor cat,
I don’t need medication
Neither table nor sugar,
I don’t need a watch,
I don’t need a...

Rat trapThe ancient scriptures are both boon and bane
on one hand holding out a ray of hope
yet also becoming a thought form chain
letting us not with light of truth elope.
Each breath we take anchors us deeper...
