The Word Only*

Don't tell me how hard
because I won't
just speak easy
sew these torn fragments of this
night as-is your
night as-is
night is
always yearning for that bright
light that finds you no matter
how far I go and how close I become
to be indicted as Dionysus

You speak easy
I'll do my part
I'll draw that maze
I'll paint it with haze
I'll call it "The Word Only"
I'll smoke that Haiku,
chew on a Shakespearian sonnet,
sip the "Waste Land" in a glass of wine
I'm just fine with "The Word Only"

"Because I do not hope to turn again"
I won't just speak easy
"Because I do not hope"
to hear you complain
"Because I do not hope to turn"
back and speak easy, so

Don't

don't tell me
just speak easy
You speak easy
sew these torn fragments
I'll tear'em apart
and keep'em holy because
"I am not worthy
but speak the word only"

Flat Disenyland

Although his complexion was olive, he drew his own image and painted it 20% red, 11% red and 69% red. He chewed on a matchstick and kept a red dynamite stick in his pocket. They called him "little trouble."

The more he read, the more he became convinced that earth was not flat or global. Earth was nothing but red in his mind and no one could take that from him. They called him "big trouble." He had a 100% red vision until...

...he obtained a prestigious degree that added a fancy title to his name. They called him "professor."

After 12 years, he was seen with his wife and kids waiting in a long queue to enter Disneyland. One of his kids wondered if all the other kids in the long queue would be able to enter. Professor and his family were last seen entering Disenyland.

Outside, another kid lining-up in the queue took a matchstick out of his mouth and said "we can't all get in Disneyland. It's a flat land and we're falling behind. "He was fetching something red from his pocket.

That day, no one left Disenyland. Nothing was left from Disenyland.
