Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.

Bank Of The Seine In The Northwestern Suburbs Of An Imaginary City

On the edge of a hill
You get a smile of an angel

Under a oak
Your wicker basket
A green canteen for sparkling water

You ride a paper pony
My cute panda of Cythera
And I can not forget the sword of truth

Liquid
Open-mid
Alphabet day
Nasal labio-velar

On the way home
I hear Aphrodite's voice through your tears

Srping Is Here

non-stop sneezing
water dripping from
eyes red and bulged
blocked nostrils adding
nasal twang to the voice...
that sounds queerly heavy
amidst colorful floral tribute to
the earth with koel's sweetened
voice as the background score...

...o, yes!
i know spring is here
...ach...oo.., .! ! ! ! ! !

Hard work spotlights the character of people some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.

Looking Down Their Nose

There are people the world over
whom think they are better
than everyone.
They’ve got a good education
so they look down on those who haven’t.
I feel sorry for those
they look down their noses at.
One day one of those people
they think lower than them
may just become their boss
and then what would they do.
Grovel on their hands and knees,
their better education
won’t hold much credence then.
They’ll have to look
towards their personality,
but if the person in charge is one of those,
they’ve looked their noses on.
They won’t be able to use it there,
as they will see right through it

Donner Party

Forsaken, fucking in the cold,
eating each other, lost
runny noses,
complaining all the time
like so many
people
that we know

There was a Young Lady whose nose,
Was so long that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an Old Lady,
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose.

A freudian slip (who nose?)

I want to clear this matter up some way
And at the same time make my point

That love note I sent you the other day?
The one that got your nose all out of joint?

I think I simply typed too fast
And didn’t say what I meant to say

Not …“I like your huge, turnip nose”…
But “I like your cute turned up nose”

Was What I really meant to say

Turned-up nose

I want to clear this matter up some way
And at the same time make my point

That love note I sent you the other day?
The one that got your nose all out of joint?

I think I simply typed too fast
And didn’t say what I meant to say

Not …“I like your huge, turnip nose”…
But “I like your cute turned up nose”

Was What I really meant to say

There was an Old Man, on whose nose,
Most birds of the air could repose;
But they all flew away
At the closing of day,
Which relieved that Old Man and his nose.

In The Business Of Others

People with a knack,
For keeping their noses...
In the business affairs of others,
Are often surprised and quite upset...
By secrets kept,
Others keep hidden away from them...
That are right under their probing noses.
And they become offended,
When the 'info' to another has been revealed.

'I thought you told me you two weren't speaking? '

~We aren't.
We email and text.
Finding this the best way to communicate.
Without the rest of the people 'twisting' what they hear,
Within listening distance.~

'And...
What are you implying? '
