Crumbles

Departed. Started from.
Go to Mart.
Eat Tart.
Connect Heart.
Assemble Part.

Part of me crumbles.
This is okay.
Not a bad thing.
Ice-lips melt so fluids flow.
As they tend to do.
So the town is calling.
Alive now.
Always alive.

Part of me clings.
I don't want to sing.
I don't want to bring
my difference forward.

Aggression is a temptation.
To thrust what can be offered.
To dictate what can be said.

Compression can be virtuous.
Compact, neat and succinct.
Short has its advantages.
It can combine with length too.
I don't need to duck.
Though I stand on tip-toe too often.
How many people notice?
No-one has ever said.
No-one has ever said.

MuSliMs

MuSLIMS versus the Obese West.
AmuSLIMS are not amused at jokes about Mohammed.
MuSLIMES versus the Feminist West.
MusicLIMES versus the Future is Orange (in 1995).
MustLIMES versus Maybe Lemons.
MustyLIMES versus Fresh Tangerines.
MuseLIMES versus Inspiration Kiwis.
MusLIMPS versus the Western erections.

Choice for change

The resolution for revolution is an evolution in absolution.
The decision for insurrection is an upgrading in universals. 
The choice for change is an improvement in rules.

Snakes and ladders

Pythons, cobras, anacondas, adders,
all slippery chutes down to the bottom.

Staircases, lifts, ramps and ladders,
all pathways to ascend to.

The snakes are moving patterns
on the floor of the earth.
The ladders are vertical routes
pointing up to the clouds.

One roll of the dice takes you
on a trip into the unknown.
