Upright Emphatic

If I can't get
Because you want
I shall transpose
The get
To not where you are so
Emphatically
Wanting
Why you looking so
Standing arms crossed
Tapping of your foot
Is disregarded
The idea of your
Want
Is what attracted me
So and therefore
You being removed
Dislocated from
Invalidates my desire
To get
But I would rather this
Than you win
If I can't get
Looking so upright emphatic
Arms crossed
Foot tapping

All Over the Place

Don't get your DNA all over the place
Don't sweat it out or drool
And stand up straight
What are you expecting
Answers to questions but there are none
The only answer is wrong and you
Your will is against the other wills
My will is irredeemable and also
Wrong facing
Stop leaning you'll fall
There is polish to your lies
And you look not inelegant at times
Spare me however those looks of
Admiration and or seduction
Spare me too the sweep of your embrace and the
Eye contact when you look downwards
Distrust and blood and sweat and drool
Your DNA is mixing all up
With mine
I feel the combination
I feel the closeness gripping
Like an ever tightening fist
Like a trap
Your DNA and mine
All over the place

According To Those

According to those
Standing against us
We are at a crossroads
However
And depending on whims
And whimsy
We decline the invitation
To cross any and all such
Roads and or avenues
Rubicons neither
Decline the invitation
For
Participation
In the so called
Revolution
Patent pending
We also decline
The preordained results
And also attempts at
Scheduling
Execution dates
Pertaining to
Our bodies and or
Minds
According to those
Who predict a revolution
At a crossroads
We decline

In Pain

And so we are
In pain
As we remember
His pain
Failed to realize the extent
He hid so well
So much pain
And then he decided to
End his pain
Of which we failed to realize
He had decided to
Book a hotel room
And
End his pain
Which caused our pain
And now we remember
Our shared pain
And he is gone
But we remember
And so we are
In pain
But we remember

Little Thing

There is a little thing
And it is
Some thing
Required thing
And you want this thing
And you can not reach
This thing
It is a little thing
Dreamt of thing
To which you cling
This required thing
You cannot have
This thing is but
A little thing
But it is
Some thing
Required thing
You cannot reach
