Garrulous Regent

Sitting

head in hands

watching headlines scroll passed

one t.v.

two t.v.’s

three…….

so many

with so many different stories

all saying

pointing to the same thing

proving to nations falling

warnings not heeded

ominous omens

lead to dissolution

lead to war

lead to nothing.

Saviour of the Century

cried upon the corner

magic to flow from fingertips

greatness shall reign

greatest sovereign in recent history.

Platitudes roll

spinning through air

translucent in truth

dust motes upon sunbeam.

Tears

mouth in melted moue

wailed anguish

whimpers

baby like tantrums….

People just don’t like him.

Everyone is out to get him.

He was great why could they not see?

Never to acknowledge

fault for disrepair

living in fantasy world

where all love and adore.

When faced with reality

with those not respectful

terrible twos in an elderly man

ugly sight

his vanity panned.

Friends…..

Sitting here at 10:14 a.m. enjoying my Pepsi having switched from coffee (not drinking has left me with sugar need) when suddenly I hear what sounds like someone trying to enter the apartment. At first I thought I might have imagined it save for the fact that both Loki and Lucky were staring at the stairs. When I get to the bottom of the stairs it registers that there is a key in the lock and the door has already been unlocked.

In swaggers Tember.

Who was not suppose to be home until early afternoon.

Me: What are you doing here? This is not early afternoon. This is 10:14 a.m. Not even mid-morning!

Tember: Well apparently dad was an early bird this morning.

Me: But it is not early afternoon! What if I had had company?

Tember: Had what?

Me: Company.

Tember: Well I guess I would have made a new friend.

I tell you I cannot make these up if I tried to.
