Juggling Accident

Juggling Accident (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

With barbecues abounding
I bookmarked my personal life. Was it
that chainsaw idea? Shock Video
does not recommend bowling balls. I made
one pigeon into ceramic icons. A ring
right in my face was so undignified
I got grilled by cops with cleavers who said
knot theory threw my game
off and back out before I lost my voice.

Mr. Hyde

Mr. Hyde (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

A strange case.
A corpse trail.

Take a potion
sorrier than origami attacks
or a King special.

Avenge the death
of tech-boom billionaires
and break their canes.

Your two-faced drive
and your dark side screen shots
make a mannered demon.

Quaff that crap down.
Be worse but more.

I recall how Caesar and Cleo
Made love in the Milky Way
They needed boats and armies to get there
I know there's a better way

Car Salesman

Car Salesman (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

Savvy customers with sticker shock
want more free pens. Negotiate as you fog over,
forget his interests are not yours. Discuss discounted
swindling in a last jail interview. So go off script. Engage in sleazy
reset. Seek penance when that test drive turns a murderous
corner. Dealer with it or grow a conscience.

What does it take to trade? A personality? A good golf vibe?
An actual selling price? Tap down any twinge of coy.
Let pigeons sweat as you harbor homicide passing
blank notebooks to the boss. Suck it up sucker.
You nada charisma. You zero commission.
Motivational speaking sells more lemons for ex-cons.

Mortgage Everything

Mortgage Everything (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

With bad luck and a large vocabulary
you too can own a home. Good for you
you future Steinbeck lover. Tip obsessive as Wells Fargo
and punchy. Pockets out. One outstanding

sub-prime calculator you are. Lower heart
rates. Peer to peer pressure. Bad boys with bad
credit reinforced your refinancing when gutting the home
of my schemes. My broker just baaed.

I hope to find a job at this pity party
after call center therapy. Bootstrap tough
it is if tagged you underwriter you lump sum jumper
you Maxim sinful exec. Greedhead is good.
