Robert West: Apostate
Up off his knees, unconfessed and uncrossed,
he once was found, yes – but now likes being lost.
James B. Nicola: A Safe Proposition
I wouldn’t want to be coercing you
to do a thing you wouldn’t want to do
but be assured I’d probably requite
well anything you’d like or think you might.
Sally Cook: The Drone
It buzzes and birds scatter,
This metal pseudo-bird.
The color doesn’t matter,
Its function, so I’ve heard,
Is to record our actions
Just where we go, with whom,
And favorite interactions
Until we reach the tomb.
Damian Balassone: Masquerade of Man
I tried out for the pantomime
but nothing went to plan,
so now I wear a suit and join
the masquerade of man.
Jeremy Wikeley: Shadows
When I met the shadow
of my former self I
asked him whether he had
met my current shadow.
Yes, he said, they’d already
talked behind my back.
S.O. Fasrus: Hoard And Dodgings
I don't mind if my boarder
Seems a bit of a hoarder
But dodging the rent
Is well out of order.
Robert West: I Corinthians 13:4
So “love is patient, love is kind”?
Pal, love can make you lose your mind.
