The man
Of the sea,
Swallowed
The sea,
The woman
Of the forest,
Swallowed
The trees,
And that’s how
The legend
Of heaven and hell
Started.

On Monday
With multi-million
Dollar deals dropping
All around,
Oh yes, the Chinese
Have arrived,
They’ve done Vancouver
And the major centers,
Now it’s The Island,
On Monday
Stretching to squeeze
A multi-thousand
Dollar deal together,
One puts things
In perspective,
It’s simply a matter
Of zeroes
And the Dollarama line-up
Generates multi-faceted
Smiles and grins.

If I were you
And you were me
We still would be
Like jam and tea,
Cause that’s the way
We’ve always been,
No matter how
We spin and spin,
Our love never
Goes away.

Mean spirited guys
With fat ugly wives
And lives as miserable
As their thinking,
Dumped a boat
And garbage
On the LRT Road,
Who knows the whys
Of these low I.Q guys
Or the Cal Glass lies
They are linking.

Life is short,
Some stories long,
And unless one is
New to the planet
Or a raving idiot,
One doesn’t believe
Everything
That newscasters babble.
That’s written on Facebook
Or in the National Enquirer,
And one is never surprised
At what people do,
But sometimes surprised
At who.

Have you ever wondered
Why a so-called
Intelligent, educated
Society of readers
Elect liars and contrivers
As leaders,
Could it be
That we have been
Coerced and manipulated
Into what to think,
And have lost
The ability
To think.

I was listening
To Bird On A Wire,
So Long Marianne
And mulling over stuff,
Thinking about muses
And lovers and how
There never really
Is enough
Time in life
To really fly.
