Adventures of an Arctic Chihuahua
Living Small at the Far EdgeSenseless Mumbo Jumbo From Daddy Longlegs Marcantel
Her sweet brow,
She wallowed in sexy self pity
Like no pity ever worn
She stood under her black umbrella
On the dryest of dry days
For the sole purpose of catching eyes
Brown, green, blue or hazel
She need not discriminate,
Her gaping void a plenty for all to climb.
She takes breaths
And takes them away,
Draws hearts in the sand
And breaks hearts
According to plan.
Her supply of admirers
Greater than her demand.

Lie still and quiet
In tranquil bath
Soothing the soul
And washing Away
Dark pains
Of the day.
A sea of hope
And blessing
On the horizon
To those who close
Their eyes
In prayer,
And open their hearts
And ears
In meditation.
Our pains
Obvious
To only ourselves
And to our unbreakable
Creator.
He has enough ears
To listen
To the whole world
In chorus
But the whole world
Does not believe.
He has enough wisdom
To unburden
The whole world
But, the whole world
Is too blind
To see.

Bolted at the unsavory sound of mischief profound
Syringes and wasteoids lie on the ground
Breast perky like mounds
Hostility knows no bounds
Teeth capped with golden crowns
Nothing like narcotics and booze to bring them down
For money she removes her gown
Sometimes to hit a bottom a junkie must drown
Ahhh, sobriety found!
Wow!

To the echo I reply” not tonight my friend, you have been nothin more than a terrible pain in my backside.”
To the mirror I replied” you look like an old lost friend of mine, only you smile more and I can barely see the worry lines you have left behind”
To the heart I replied ” I know I haven’t listened much, I have been closed for so long with only my head to give me guidance, but it’s really nice to meet your acquaintance again.”
