Why So Serious?
Said the man with beef between his teeth
So I avoided his nose and looked to his feet
Oh No! what are those!!
His toes looks like retired crows
With missing feathers and shit
If it was an endangered species it might have been lit
So I elevated my gaze up to his waist
Wait, is that toothpaste?
How did it get from his face to that space?
Do I want to know?
Hell to the no!
In the end I decided to look at the top of his head
Really is that a fly? Is it dead!?
Man I an done
I am going to laugh instead.
Rule of Three
Three bucks is the prize,
Someone gets the pride,
Years of entries,
Who can choose?
Writers spend their afternoon,
Spinning words in mental looms,
Happy thoughts or impending doom,
Serious is just so gloom,
I look to another moon,
It needs to happen soon,
Rule of threes spins my runes,
Next stop is a successful boom.
I am serious.
Seriously devoted to eating giant banana pancakes, researching homemade rabbit costumes, and thinking about the faces people make during sex. Seriously engaged in irreverent bathroom stall philosophy, in leaving drunk voicemails, and watching awkward flirting in the wild. Seriously invested in hanging by my fingers from this tumbling little planet as it zooms through the cosmos. Serious is as serious does, after all.
11.55
11.55
the dark and a moon shining in the sky...
It's the ending of the night
And you're waiting just for the midnight.
11.55 the time nobody misses the sky
I was born in darkness filled with lies
Nobody cares if the stars don't align
Even if they scream and cry
You wait for the midnight
Half sleepy and a half conscious mind
You call it a night
You are just waiting for the midnight
Chaoetic night, you want to skip the time.
Thats when I noticed
I was born on a little shy
Because with me its always
You want the time to fly
And sometimes it kinda makes me cry
Really?
Why so serious? Please tell me you did not just ask that to me.
Why would you expect me to be anything else? Give me something to smile about, and then maybe we can have a conversation.
Although given the fact that entries for this challenge do not close anytime soon, I am guessing you will have a difficult time with this.
Excuses
"Why so serious?", they ask.
I have shared so many reasons,
Told too many excuses,
But I have more.
Which one to choose,
After all,
This is my big decision for the day.
Maybe I'll make something up,
Like I always do...
I'm moving,
My brother was hit by a car,
My parents are splitting up...
Or I could tell the truth...
I'm terminal,
I have two months to live,
And I'm spending it at work,
With you people who don't care enough to ask if I'm okay.
But...
"I'll be fine",
I say,
In response to the question,
But not the one they asked.
Don’t fight the feeling
Who is the man that sits softly in the night?
What is this feeling that stirs inside?
Where did my soul get permission to dance?
When will it propel me forth to act?
Why must I suffer this passion inside?
How can I fight it? Can I deny it?
The passion inside stirs forth, a volcano.
My body propels forward.
While my mind’s screaming “hell no!”
Deep inside I can’t fight it
I must love and let go. I can’t deny it.
Passion is nature’s distraction.
Why am I so serious about being an angel
For one reason only it a joke to everyone
No one know how much angels joke around
Let me tell you they are always partying
I will never believe they spayed cheese whiz in my perfectly good hair
Angels are wild and angry sometimes
We let loose our crazy sides sometimes
Even I do too
However, I rather take my guardian angels duties seriously
That unless someone makes me really mad
Then someone better hold my halo
Then run away from me
I go full bat crazy when I get mad
