egg

Too hungry to care
must be political bread
never touch the stuff.

Chess, drugs, and more chess
no wonder she reads so much
can't get a good lay.

Smooth like a ken doll
dang, that lady gets around
he dodged a bullet.

Big nose and bluster
woo your relatives with words
don't use a himbo.

Folk up to no good
passive-aggressive lovers
sons and slaves rebel.

Fatty kills woman
don't worry, not a white one
no one that mattered.

A precocious kid
seemingly infallible
slow on the uptake.

Just a little nap
sometimes you need a stiff drink
pity David's sow.

Older now, widowed
days of power left behind
time for women's work.

Dirty mouth, clean feet
brain functions while arguing
what gal could resist?

Endorsing evil
familiar faces ignored
until they return.

Nice enough old guy
but the cat knows what he did
killing for the church.

Clients drying up
begged, borrowed, burned every bridge
bickering old tarts.

High-strung feminist
smoldering knuckle-dragger
dire love triangle.

Pious country life
fraught with sexual tension
keep praying, pervert.

Searching for meaning
through pointless repetition
distinguished by grief.

Ten billion dollars
for a small change of diet
plus, a magic stick.

Do not wear black face
no matter your reasoning
it never ends well.

Then: selfish, cash-strapped
now: rich and delusional
trash in both timelines.

What a hypocrite
a pious terror at home
whoring around town.

Snort some magic dust
visit the dumbest timeline
what a wasted trip.

Dinny's lost her heart
those sad eyes, that bitter mouth
so much angst to soothe.

Defeated woman
embrace opportunity
run with open arms.

Who created what
wise old men talk your ear off
nonsense, in the end.

Summer in Green Town
the taste of lime-vanilla
wonder mixed with grief.
