Words of Randomnity 3: Inside

Inside

Something's stuck inside our head.

The monstrous beast we fed,

it's melody dead.

This thing we led, 'til it's feet turned red

to the bed that laid ahead.

The bed inside our head.

This beast feasts 'til we take it east,

or so I'm told at least.

To a park of riches, greed, and pride,

where every monster gets a ride,

and all of us can only hide,

cowering to either side

of the eyes

of the beast.

But if we best the monster's jest;

fool the pest and take it west,

to where a pure but unseen chest

will have us blessed and dispossessed.

Only then will we pass the test

and finally put the thing to rest.

We must be wary of where we tread,

for something's stuck inside our head.

Words of Randomnity 2: Out of Distress

Out of Distress

You were a mess.

Attacked by a vulture who could

sense weakness,

sense demise.

Attacked by a cheetah who could

outlast you,

outrun you;

outmanoeuvre you.

It took hold of you.

At best, you had second place.

the Leader. Leashed, having the freedom of

the outside world, but still

held back.

You threw it all out.

Took off the chains,

chucked them away. And now you're

out.

You forgot about it all. You didn't know it would

be

so

easy.

Your loaded pistol was the only one not

disappointed in you.

(Nonchalance wouldn't have

saved you.)

Action.

Your trash can's full of

all the inadequacies that

consumed you,

splattered with the

red ink you used to send

it

off.

Nothing's left.

The burdens that you kept

hold of are gone.

Everything you've ever hated

is T lying on the floor

in

a

heap

by an empty shell.

Care

fills your wastebasket.

It's out of you.

You're out of it.

Words of Randomnity 1: Telepathic Soulwaves

Telepathic Soulwaves

If you could read my soul:

a bridge without a toll,

cashews in a bowl,

rock and roll.

If you could read my mind,

do you know what you'd find?

some abnormal kind

of enigma.

An unusual perception

of the perfect deception

is the only lie

that I'd like to try.

If it's money you want

then it's poison you'll get.

We'll watch the venom

burn you from inside out.
