Dear Self,
I feel like
a stuffed animal-rights activist
who needs a safe word when masturbating.
*
I need a
witless-protection program
and a sign that says, ''Sorry, we're open''
to make it clear
that when the going gets tough,
nothing gets going.
*
Perhaps some
transcontinental meditation and
cross-country wrestling
would calm my nerves.
*
I enjoy
this calm babble and squonk
of cleared out thoughts...
(no animals were armed in the making of this poem,
no anime was charmed in the masking of this poem,
no Anna Mays were farmed in the marking of this pour-in...)
Yours Insincerely,
---

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Fun and edgy! Vivid imagery with a dreamlike quality to it. Very good!
I love this. Best word play I've seen all day!
Absolutely marvelous, mind-bending & tongue twisting! You had me from the very first stanza!
Ha! Another great piece!
That was fun!
I really enjoyed that, shits, giggles and brave simplicity! "That Was Brilliant!" - Rik Mayall
