Toxic Infinity

Where does it stop

I am sick of toxic masculinity

But by being publicly stated

I feel I am going to be castrated

To firmly believe that not all men are bad

That is with those same broad

Strokes of generalism

That humanity has done it’s most heinous work

Under such infirmity

To instruct the world to hate

With such fervent stride

So with my beliefs

By my side

Each man is different

As I want the best for my wife

My family

I hope that we can understand

The differences that make each person

Beautiful

Rather than

Hateful

Papers on the Window

Papers were taped to the window

The death of the old man

Had come with its effects

Throwing the local neighbors

In a whirlwind

But in a city

With thin walls

The calls to move on came

And heeded they were

And the world moved on

The old pizza spot

Was set to have a new dawn

The Muddled Ask

I wasn’t quite ready

To say what I said

To ask for another portion

Of the blinking red

Light

I could have known

That my words would be

Arranged

In a strange manner

So I just packed it in

For the night

And left for bed

Electric Steer

With my hands off the wheel

Waiting room mints in my pocket

I wait as the launch goes

As quick as a rocket

From this direction

I can see a hopeful sign

Of growth

To become more fully realized

Is my hope
