I'll write a bad poem
With only rotten rhymes
Nonsense upon nonsense
No beauty, spark, or wit

I'll write a bad poem
With venom, bugs, and lies
Not a single in sight
I just couldn’t do it

Tomorrow knows
Where today goes
How far the coin fell

Tomorrow dreams
Of midnight scenes
Abandoned carousels

The secrets would sell
But tomorrow won’t tell

Mark went out to see a show
Over-hyphened, he didn't know
Colonial times, a period piece
He didn’t tell his parentheses

The show was an apostrophe
Mark questioned the accuracy
Late, he tried to emdash home
Ellipsed and fell into a comma

Wires tangled, buried under
Six feet of muscle and scales
Soft hiss of pressure building
Anxiety is a coiled python
Constricting slowly
With each breath
Squeezing, crushing
Until there's no sign of life

Lost: one hour, last seen
Sunday, at the corner of
Daylight and Savings street.
If found, please fall back
and call the time police.
End this temporal malady.
Reward: $50 thousand
Or an extra hour of sleep.

If you fall into a black hole:
Tap dance across the years, put on
your best silk,
and walk the red carpet
of stars; tightly woven minutes,
seconds etched in Braille,
so you can feel your way back
across the milky highway.

Tell me have you met
A lightning bolt yet?
Sparks will fly, the air will bend
Mind on fire and hair on end
Branching tree of light
Shocks you back to life
A crash so sharp and violent
Then pitch-black, static silence
