Trendsetter

You have the wire hanger
As your sword
I have this winter trench coat
As my shield

This closet isn’t big enough
For the two of us
Although we’ve stayed like this
For many years

I tried my best
To look classy for her
But her eyes wander off
As fast as fads run

So I guess this fight
Is clearly my loss
I can tell she noticed
The crack on my shield

And I know she’s been looking
For a better one
To hang up
And to show off
This early spring

The Beginning Of The End

Don’t forget to come back for me.
I’ll be waiting right here.

You can’t wait forever, you know.
And I might not forget.
I might just choose not to come back.

I never said I would wait forever.
I’m going to wait patiently.
If you choose not to return,
You’ll only be testing my patience.

It

Its pranks
Are manifestations
Of various
Extremes
Its powers
Are unfair
Such unbeatable
Things

He hates the way
It pokes at him

It probes him
It plays him
It plans to take over him

And once in a while
It prefers
To help him
And fill him with hope
That deflates
Oh, too soon

Because It
Lives to practice
Its full potential
Of controlling
Every part
Of his life

Non-Profit

It could have been
The moment
It could have been
The time

When moods
Are at their
Highest swing
Our feelings
Dancing out

We focused so hard
On the jingling keys
That we didn’t hear
The crash

We allowed imprinting
The wrong
Impression
And sold our hearts
For less

And when we notice
We lost a fortune
We’ll aim to please
Again

We’ll converse
We’ll bargain
We’ll set up a deal
And invest
With hopes
To break even
