Taming the inner beast of a juggling fool
April 9th 2008

Posted under poetry & rant

When girls first meet me, they cannot assume;
That I play with my balls and that I have more than two.

They see a guy who’s simple, who’s normal and shy
He’s probably boring; with nothing to hide

When inside my shell lies a circus freak
Waiting to emerge from this skin and streak

I want to be unique, it’s just that right now I suppress it
I’m too shy to let go and publicly express it

There are standards out there, and I have to follow the beat
Get with the program, or go play on the street

I spend every day the slave of a machine
But my heart craves the outdoors and inside I scream!

And yet I sit humbly, staying within the bounds
A wolf in disguise, waiting to be found

Who can tame this beast, whom has yet to emerge?
Does she even exist? Does she tend another herd?

I have to be patient, but it perpetually appears
That if the future is now, I’m nowhere prepared!

Bah! Screw it! I’ll take it one day at a time.
And when the moment arises, I’ll grab it and make it mine.

Then my truth will emerge to much fear yet delight
The true craziness of me.. Juggling Mike.

P.S. - I am not insane.

P.P.S - Seriously!

Poetry time!
March 8th 2007

drawing circles
all the time
around what’s bad
and what is fine

taking ideas
from a jar
crushing them up
as if at war

sprinkle ponctuation
and a dash of salt
put it in a bowl
and stick it in the vault

cook for an hour
or sometimes two
take out the result
and smell that goo

If it looks like shit
it probably is.
get back to drawing circles
you stupid git.

Feeble attempt at poetry
February 27th 2007

Posted under poetry

Amazing how the world keeps on spinning
And no matter what you just keep on grinning
Showing them all how happy you are
That she’s gone and so very far

But inside a twisted truth remains
You are still in pain and going insane
You try so hard to stop thinking of her
But the more you try, the more she’s there

You don’t want to bother them
They’ve heard enough
You should be over this
You’ve got to be tough!

Somebody else will come your way
She’ll be even better and you’ll want her to stay
So just try to forget the years that have past
And enjoy your new freedom as long as it lasts

- - - - - - - - - - - -

You’re single now
Fly up, be free!
Open your heart,
Enjoy the breeze!
