Overripe fruit
Falls from the tree
Rats feed ferociously
Zombies
Spinning
Round and round on the roulette wheel
Blinded
By outrageous promises
That barely provides a subpar meal
Bow down
To the new phantom kings
Worship
Like pawns on a string
Vacuum sucking up brain cells
Artificial intelligence
Taking society into the bowels of hell
Creepy and crawling
Along the path to oblivion
The technology masters’
Goal
Is to make everyone reptilian
Sushi Bar
Ginza, Tokyo
Sitting next to me
The Japanese Gastroenterologist said
“I could make much more money working in America, but cannot take the food.”
Thinking for a moment
Taking another sip of my sake
I said
“I fully understand
Japan’s outstanding cuisine
Has also ruined me”
The Gastro then said
“I’m doctor
Eat
Drink
I pay”
Lost in a desert paradise
Drinking Australian wine
Snuggling together
In our pharaoh sized bed
Covered with soft Egyptian cotton sheets
We spent the night
Engulfed in ancient history
Holes side of roof
Mama Opossum and babies
Live inside rent-free
Sitting
At the 5 star hotel bar
You begin dealing me cards
I would not feed your offers to my hogs
Nothing left to discuss
Your limo is waiting outside
I will go home on the bus
Bromeliad dies
Land replenished new pups grow
Hot wet days begin
