Hoverstruck

Hoverstruck

Robert took off his face
It was time for a lift
Poking his eye he observed his flinch shift
Sorting through earworms he selected a Mozart
If he knew exhaustion, he surmised, this might be it

The selection was clear but he couldn't decide
Leg up, leg over, empty leg, pull leg
He wanted to choose all of the above
It was as if that was the only answer
Still, he only wanted to answer one question

Plants breathed on him
He changed his smell valve
Sweet seeped into his sweat essence
Maybe there is somebody out there
As his words parted he knotted his tongue tie

Discarding his race arms for wings
Robert carefully placed them in future slings
You never know when you might need them
To blow minds or heads off
As he flew away

Is there a man, Robert wondered
Courageous, benevolent, omnipotent
A creator
The question pushed all his buttons
He put on his game face

Music shifted to Screamin Jay
There was a meme on a theme
He couldn't find emotion
So how could he wonder about it
Or why he would exist forever

Then, the end came in a sentence
Robert imagined his lover
A bi-textual relevance
Who would always be with him
Or her

Which begs the question About where we are going If the river is fast Why are we slowing Down? We'll Come to that later Sooner than you think While you're not in the water You still have to drink ...

Idiot

Idiot While raising the bar I think outside the box Placing all my ducks in a row Without putting the cart before the horse Drastic times call for drastic measures There was a method to such madness Speaking of the Devil Whose ethnic cleansing Cut corners From a piece of cake I still couldn't fathom What to make of it So Jumping on bandwagons Your guess is as good as mine While running out of a good time If we wouldn't be caught dead It was all in my head I heard it through the grapevine Since cats have nine lives To make a long story short I let sleeping dogs lie In the face of it As During the heat of the moment Bit by bit Nobody else would give a shit It was a blessing in disguise Not to beat about the bush For what I could surmise The cost was an arm and a leg While jumping to conclusions I still had to beg As if my life depended on all Idiomatic intrusion Language invades Verbal allusion Foolin...
