Potpourri

[Base] Umami, Tsunami 

[Tenor] po x4 potpourri

alphabet soup and a word salad
loaf of rye bread, to a wry ballad

A pinch of metaphore, am I dreaming?
to clinch, I think therefore, I am.

cat got tongue in cheek by jowl

Potpourri (work in progress)

[Base]
spice~ palette, 
color my palate

[Tenor]
be still my appetite,
the thrill of fight or flight

[Verse]
I call, supernormal stimuli
	(yoke of nature)
as my, paranormal alibi
	(cloak of nurture)

hook line sinker, food for thought

Trap Trap Trap

The Agricultural Revolution, was a trap,
doubled the backbreaking hours, trap (x5)

living at such density, and proximity
to animal husbandry, lead to plague~

pushing the Malthusian limit,
prone to famines,
under the yoke of parasitic tyrants

surpluses extorted to the warrior class, 
tributes to Leviathan (Leviathan)

life expectancies shortened,
subsisting on a meager monotone diet

Trap Trap Trap (work in progress)

Sour Grapes

sour grapes, raisin' a fine whine

what's afoot's been treading on your green mind

en-vy x4
clinging on like poison ivy

Deduce

(Detective)
a door, ajar, a jarring sight inside and,
though I'm afar, I have the end in sight
A case, of beer, as I ponder on the side
a cold case, of a double homicide

vanishes, as in a trick by Randi
that's his M.O., modus operandi,

seven suspects, each with a motive
several alibi, but none are watertight

prime, the prime suspect
fully, for the interrogation

detective duo, 
doing a duet on pianoforte

(Good cop)
you must have your reasons, 
so share with me your side of the story
you're too young to be jailed, co-
operate, for there's no glory.

(Bad cop)
I'll say it one last time, you got no other options
your so-called bro confessed, he put you up for adoption
you know what'll happen to a pretty boy like you?
the guards will gaze away, there'll be no protection...

Deduce (work in progress)

Long to Belong
 
Some days I'm in a daze
to find a way to fly away
 
long have I longed to 
belong to one I long for
 
One day we'll pass right by
and say, alas, good bye
	
love is for giving
	(to friend or foe)
love is forgiving
	(of fault or foible)
 
I peer, in your eyes, 
past your sly, coquettish lies.
 
You lie on my bed, lie on your laurels,
You lie to my face, and belie your morals
 
to what extent? 
to what end?
to you extend, extend my hand~
 
apart from you, 
who else can be,
a part of me? a part of me?
 
Cu-pid
 
throws a pair of dice
throes of paradise
heat my heart of ice
heed my hard advice

Long To Belong (Work in Progress)

When I gaze upon, your morphology
In a daze I turn, to my ethology

fixed action pattern ( badum bum)

pardon my jargon
