CHOW

Salt and pepper
and  mango Julie

transforms

a potentially
sweet treat

into
a burning
eye watering

thing to eat

and green mango
does edge teeth...



Julie, alone
is sweet, sweet

but
Salt and pepper
spoils any treat

until  nose
can't decipher
the aroma

nor tongue
tell  true
flavour

and green mango
can edge teeth...

when  chowed
with
Salt and pepper

HOMOGRAPHIC OF LOVE

The trouble is
that love
is homographic

The real reason
relationships
seem tragic

And break-ups
and make-ups

Though merely
linguistic

Are maligned
by the 

homographic

of love

A kiss
can be the start
or the end

It may also mean
lover or friend

A personal pronoun
may not be exclusive

But synonymous to
utterly intrusive

It may also mean
oddly inclusive

in the

homographic
of love

The trouble is
that love
Is homographic

The real reason
relationships
seem tragic

Success and fails
Though merely
linguistic

Are  defined
by love's
homographic

Divine acts
may just be
explicits

For one
of the persons
that's in it

And open or closed

relational
conceptions

And deception
might
just be perception

Polite gestures

May be seen as rude

When images
On the same plane

are skewed

by the
homography
of love

A LITTLE SUGAR

There is a little Sugar
In the sack
It may not sweeten
your tea
You should consider
changing
The size
of your cup
maybe

There is a little sugar
In the sack
Just enough
to drive an ant
insane
But if you dissolve it
in too much water
You'll miss the taste
All together

There is a little sugar
In the sack
Just the amount
Neighbors ask for
Only a spoon a two
Can stew some
chicken
next door

There is a little Sugar
In the sack
And a lot
of sweet tooth
around
Careful
you don't throw
a drop of sugar
down


There is a little Sugar
In the sack
It can make you
comatose
Don't
combine it
with other grains
This,Little Sugar
Is  the perfect amount
for a Brain...
