Landing in vain
As the planes take the tarmac
Insults thrown away
Into the faces of unsuspecting
Leaders and friends
I guess this story goes
On
With no exact end
In vain
In triumph
I am lost for words
How a man confused
Has a position
He earned
Deputy soft
Had not much to say
The evening
In dispute
Remembered but far
Away
Played out over
Few too many
Drinks
Or tips of the glass
Deputy soft
Hardened
His grasp
Pulled the vagrant Parton
Into the corner
Don’t cross this man
When he let up
The old man ran
Adorned with counter praise
Easy in its ways
Don’t let the words
Get to your head
Listen instead
To the symmetry of
Past
Learn lessons
From others
Let Ear’s guide
To sensible solutions
Counter praise is just
Pollution
Brilliance
In
Disappointment
The ointment
Of tested and true
Blue but not so fast
That it can’t undue
Can disappointment
Be so strong
That it inflicts
To greater qualities
That heed infallibilities
In the lack of truth
A parachute system
Is required
When the breaks fail
No wins to set sail on
Fall from grace on
Parachute with me
Into the blue silky sea
In a time of resent
I present
An escape to land
With this parachute
In hand
The capitol strain
Came
On an unexpected
Wednesday
Don’t reap what you can’t
Sow
Sage advice says
How the world looks
Different
When the joker has
No more jokes
When the laughs go old
The capitol strain
Has its hold
The music drones
Late into the night
After hours
As the sunset
Slips out
Of sight
The air is dim
And full
Rosins from the bull
Pushing the city
As the air antiquity
Rumbles from below
The city vents
All on my own
Man that is a dope jacket
As the man at the counter
Reveals
Late night appeal
I wish you a good night
And a great night rest
Dope jacket he said
With a slight jest
Feeling alright
With a bottle of whiskey
And some cheap pizza
Walking around
Quickly
Walking a curved line
To the rooms
Late into the night
Laughter and jolly
As the night goes on
One mistake
One folly
High tide
In a moments notice
Get the day on
Staying in love
And feeling the run
Of a high tide
