Wasps buzz a smoke filled room Parties slippery Blackberry sky loves my mom’s purse Waning crescents, metal detecting wands Bound by panic attacks Bad behavior shaking windows Like a house hunting step-dad Musing mayhem shuffles the cards Walking into major de-cluttering sessions Digging out boxes of coaxing therapeutics Crows picking at the beginning of the week Scrimmaging newspaper jobs Snidely commenting bout some Freaking ice princess Drinking before noon Overwhelmed by her schedule Giving blood to overbearing politicians Who chew sugar free gum While pumping up signs for Homeland Security Wearing T-shirts for a personal cause Tattoo’s rape a helpless analyst Who had the open market on guilt trips Counting immigrants crossing the boarder Handing out brochures bout future careers While movies check on our children Threatening to sell them To a sentenced tooth fairy Taking sexual enhancement drugs Living in some upscale mall while Mosquitoes suck on raising hands in Florida American choppers father Black SUV’s Wannabe class reunion police Mapping out directions to some selected dates Shameless promotions, some people never change? Twisting wide eyed values for false accusations While agents bust a home made for TV movie Bout one of3 brothers, still alive To the tune of the Manchurian Candidate Sung by the Back Street Boys Jerry Springer is counting his main squeeze Sleeping with the foolhardiness of society While I think about a movie called Sleeping with the Enemy |

Once again you've got a plethora of classic lines that I love... and the visual of this one was great: "American choppers father Black SUV’s" You write with an edge, LeeJ, and I like that--undercurrents of real anger tempered with just the right flavor of sarcasm and humor. Always an interesting read from you. thank you |

I find myself looking forward each day to a new LeeJ. A reality checkpoint in blue. |
