The Old Owl Uttered dark dew drops coming from the old owl's eyes, as he'd seen the eons of far and long behind but nothing, no wisdom(s), he's ever uttered outright were even taken, as more, than cuckoo bird looniness although, soon, the sky will cry its clouds and stars out... james kenneth blaylock 7-25-12

Between Two Strangers cannot make you seek, cannot make you speak we could sit with our loose limbs folded up we could sit with each other but, still be, so out of touch loveless and lost on a dark starless night numbingly letting the time slip between two strangers james kenneth blaylock

Good Enough Liar do not reveal your secrets to everyone, anyone, none instead, horde them up safely in your own head no one needs to know the true you, nobody deserves to see the knowledge that exist inside your dull bones no, not even you yourself if, if you’re a good enough liar james kenneth blaylock

Truly True North smithereens in the old bloodstream, a remanence of childlike innocence once believing in everyone, everything but free will creates wilding creatures whichever way is truly true north, really whenever the rules change intermittently sure, run around the world as bodiless beasts, but hang on to the senselessness, headstones james kenneth blaylock 10-27-22
