2069. Unsynced

One streetlight
Shines
In the daylight
It's out of sync
With time

2068. Is It Worth It?

That's what happens
To women who love
Unrequited.
They get shot.
Look at the story
Of poor Eponine.
For men
It's not much
Better.
You get skewered
And drowned.
See Darcy
And Hilarion.

2067. Empathy

Poor dude
You both
Love
And hate
You
Living
And dying
Failing at
Your own
Standards

2066. The Binary of Life and Death

The bee
Has
But one
Sting
Before it
Meets
Cold
Death.
I, too,
Have
But two
States,
Attached
And
Past
Tense.

2065. Is This a Test

If this
Is a test
Then
I'll
Fail it
On purpose
To protest
Your
Having
Tested
Me

2064. Crash

A crash
Comes from
The bath
The curtain
Rod
Stopped
And dropped
It just
Gave up
Disgusted
With its path
In life

2063. Goodbye

I will not
Scream, shout,
Reason, or pout.
I will just
Shut you out.

(Not part of the poem and, yes, for a special reader:  ... but not if you are Marco. :-)
