After the Shoot Off

Quick draw McGraw-
You're dead in an instant!
Ha! I am much faster
And skilled, I have proved
Myself worthy of all praise,
I would like to thank--

I would like to thank-
Well, myself!
Aren't I just grand?!
I drew my pistol and killed
You in a split second,
Hit you right in the head,
Oh, what a shot,
You should have seen it!

Now I am left alone,
With your bloody corpse
To revel in my victory,
How it pleases me!
How I please me!

Thank you ladies and gents,
Thank you mom and dad,
Thank you God,
For giving me such abilities!

Now I shall celebrate with Brandy-
The drink and the girl.

On the Topic of Relating

Measurements take toll,
Time spent is never
Well spent, nor is
Time doing nothing
Take less energy--

Stuck in a tight grip,
Waist held firmly
Between past and present,
Regret crushes the
Guilty intently--

All success is magnificent,
Every accomplishment, failure,
Relativity is relative
Retrospectively space is round
Yet flat, dense, yet vast--

Waiting

I have busied myself
All day, waiting for
Him to come back to me;
I cleaned my room,
Finished three loads of laundry,
Vacuumed my car,
Showered most thoroughly,
Painted my face prettily,
Dressed carefully-
Wearing his shirt I love so much;
And I am still left waiting,
Patiently waiting,
Feeling no rush or worry,
Simply a calm peace of
Quiet anticipation for
The man I love to wrap
His strong arms around me
Once again,
Knowing he will return
Brightens my being,
Fuels meaning to my projects,
To my daily activities;
For now, I shall
Simply wait.
