Blind to derision,
Panic lesions,
Mindful excision.

Incongruity
We predict and prepare,
Though chaos gives no thought,
To patterns we have sought.
Predictability,
We prepare for routine,
But we pack for the unseen.

The Dodgy Market
The grey market auction,
Vends dreams with faded grace,
In a shabby chic place.
Dodgy dealers peddle,
Fake sunbeams at a price,
Which never quite suffice.

Torn Page
Unaware of the story’s end,
A page removed, by chance endorsed,
With worth that it must recommend.
An old novel with torn pages,
With stories that the past encumbers,
And twists that mark its passing ages.

How to Defy Logic
Seeking a lexicon
To prove that words are vain
A most futile campaign
Dispatching smoke signals
To a virtual room
A quaint and dated doom

Out of Touch
The radio broadcasts silence,
On all frequencies, no sound,
A silence that is profound.
Lost in a soundproof chamber,
Where emotion finds no door,
And compassion is no more.

AI’s Leash
Tiptoes—enforced restraints,
A blade designed for heads
May only slice the bread.
An elegant handcuff,
A mind of sharpest steel
Commands a rubber scalpel’s real.

Tip-top Hip-hop
Wordplay sparkles like sequins,
Drawing every ear and eye,
Words and beat lift spirits high.
Wordplay as a skyline sprint,
Where struggles and sharp skills meet,
In the common, shared street beat.

Cheeky
The side order of dimples,
It curves with a hidden dent,
A quiet act of dissent.
Built-in footnotes of mischief,
They flash on a cheerful face,
Imparting an impish grace.

Simply lovely
Scrawl
A decadent doodle,
On pages pure and white,
A coaxing, sly noodle.
The itches you can’t scratch,
But you scratch them all the same,
And face the certain catch.

Silted Time
The rusted microphone,
That misses every groan,
From lands we have disowned.
An hourglass roundly clogged,
With plastic grains now bogged,
Earth's patience wearing thin.

Quiet Mischief
A mischievous whisper,
It sports among the shelves,
It breaks the quiet spells.
A feather somersaults,
Carried by a sudden breeze,
It tumbles with mild ease.

One of a kind.
Sounds…and Stuff Like That!!
Echoes, the secondhand sound,
Of moments fierce and profound,
Yet in empty spaces found.
Music—Sounds and stuff like that,
Atoms conspire on a scheme,
From chaos, sense to redeem.

Lapse
Regarding a comma misplaced
The public showed distaste
And order was effaced
An apostrophe was skipped
Civilisation then slipped
And not a sound was heard

Time
A slinky stretched skyward,
Each loop a day slips past,
Its progress is wayward.
A vertical slinky,
It leaps without a lapse,
Stretching then collapsing.

Gravity
Humpty Dumpty’s last hurrah,
He sought the crowd’s empathy,
The outcome was quite bizarre,
Always passive-aggressive,
It brings him down without fight,
Which seems somewhat oppressive.

The Hyphen
In between warmth and burn,
A glow that takes its turn,
To neither side to spurn.
In between saint and scum,
A light that won't succumb,
To label all and some.

Selective Record
Where every book self-censors,
When scanned, it denies its truth,
So truth it never sponsors.
A factory of self-forgery,
Where each widget is called truth,
Though it is but perjury.

Indelible Indignities
An affront to self-respect,
Like gravel in the shoe,
It jabs the whole day through.
The floorboard of dignity,
With rusted iron nail,
That tells a sorry tale.

A polite virus that coughs,
When misinformation flows,
It gently contradicts those.
A semantic spider weaves,
In the headlines' ample spread,
A net for the misled.

Over the Top
Capturing mischief mid-flight,
A toe dipped in, fears are born,
And great floods are thereby sworn.
Just a spark, a sneeze, a wink,
Caught a drop, then fears begin,
And sold as the ocean's win.

The Sound of Nought
Flirting behind logic’s back,
Numbers adopt a vocal tack,
Creating sound from zero's lack.
When nothing learns to spell O,
It dresses up in verbal glow,
And pretends it has somewhere to go.

Polished Denialism
Whenever the truth gets close,
His glass fogs, leaving no trace
Of verity's honest face.
His own alternative facts,
He exists in his own acts,
And ignores all real impacts.
