Love and IP Sockets

We've a morbid Jormungandr
for this ratatoskr world
a plastic resin serpent corpse
getting gnawed on by the squirrels
while we take chainsaws to Yggdrasil
and reduce to stump and gnurls



a regular person is easily fooled
and education is needed with or without schools
Fools design tricks and spin all the wool
while knowing the truth and making it sound cool
so don't fear for your children if it all crashes down
just find a dang poet or even a clown



considering forgiveness, it's an interesting vice
did it a few times and we couldn't pay the price
which demanded the odd freezing and cocooning our heart in ice
we find it hurts our own heart less when we don't break it to be nice



we nurture a holy desidirium
not for the Seattle Aquarium
but rather for Point Defiance
in Tacoma where two families made an alliance
and the resulting four generations defiant
of injustice and cruelty by humans — we're giants



lies and deceit are just more meat
for an octopus to shred and pass through their beak
if you try and trap them they'll creep and they'll eke
a way out and then your destruction will wreak
so bring a speargun and you'd better not miss
your target is tiny and very dangerous



Love is a jolt of electric
It energizes and shocks
The work becomes frenetic
and her inspiration never stops
It's hard to sleep alone at night
Knowing that someone's there
A lover far away from you
For whom you deeply care
