Fashion Nonsense

Sexy supermodel
forever burdened with maintaining
the perception of perfection..

The outside world can never see
her patchwork goddess reality..

Illusions must be meticulously maintained..

Erosion each day will be restrained..

Makeup covers the seams..

Gotta protect the dream
and the cosmetic industry
which feeds the glossy beast…

Pushing out high priestesses
with their pouty expressions..

Emaciated bodies
pimping overpriced fashions..

Setting impossible standards
on what constitutes true feminine beauty
in this narrow runway world
of shallow delusions

Award Tripping

Upon retrospective review
of my greatest life hits
most of my finest triumphs
were off stage away from the spotlight…

The shadows of anonymity
was where I did my best work
so the victories I achieved
big and small alike
were known only to me
and my empty trophy case…

I choose to leave the kudos
and public accolades
to the attention whore masses
forever grasping for validation…

Did I mention my ultimate
life trip accomplishment?

Lame self esteem soothing rationalizations…

Thread Bare Reality

There are daze
when I feel overwhelmed
by things that were
once so simple only yesterday…

My frayed brain synapses
temporarily disconnected
from how to perform
basic functional tasks…

Gotta step back…

Take a deep breath…

Slow down
this spinning carousel
and come to grips
with my elderly driven
cognitive limitations…

Mick was so correct when he foretold…

What a drag it is getting old

Props to the People

While our country is hemorrhaging
from a thousand cuts
of condescending arrogance
public discourse sinks
further into the abyss
of scorched Earth politics…

All the while we real people
roll our weary eyes
and trudge through each day..

Grinding away
into the permanent mist
of this most challenging existence..

Gloriously oblivious
to the daily carnage
of our out of touch government
that is determined to divide us

Pro Active Death Prep

Enjoy the void..

Embrace the serenity
of glorious monotony..

For the final destination
of our restless
and never satisfied species
on this Earthly trip
through the indifferent galaxy
ends at a common exit
with a shared dust to dust destiny..

This oft difficult life to death transition
from warm to cold blooded stiff
can be made a little less severe
if we lessen our angle of descent
and take the flat line glide path out of here

Price Tagless

Once the situation degraded
beneath minimal standards 
the masters of our side
were finally persuaded
to deviate from the established plan
and finally demand
for the very first time
rational thought be applied.. 

Many of us life cynics question
if these clowns
will ever learn their lesson
given their rampant arrogance
and the general lack of consequence.

ever applied to their incompetence

Getting Laid. Getting Off

Went to a meeting

and a funeral broke out.. 

It was for me of course..

Corporate predators with bad intent

devoured me as a cost prohibitive expense

Hard to survive bottom line carnage…

Nothing personal, just business…

I hope the bastards choke on my carcass
