(These last 4)

I just thought that I should drop in that these last four have been titled & loosely based off of pictures in Anne Taintor's book "I can't be good all the time".

"She was blissfully unaware of her peril"

Starry eyes of her
Dream of marriage's wonder
Unaware of truth

"One just had to admire his deluded self confidence"

Arms around her waist
She looks up and smile sweetly
Preparing to run

"Maybe I want to look cheap"

White gown and red lips
Cigarette in her fingers
Daring a response

"And then I ripped his lungs out"

Circle of close friends
Listen sympathetically
Sweetly sipping tea

Helen

Ambitious woman
Tantalize admirers
Sashays to bathe nude

12 Maid(en)s

Ordered slanderers
Spies raped without approval
Feet twitch, bodies limp

Him

Boxed in on all sides
Trapped one who can't see the cage
Awkward confinement

Out

Don't fall through the stars
Dark emptiness consumes minds
Sad state of being

Subversive

Silent sneakiness
Finding treats behind your back
The lying trickster

New Sun

Burn everything
Never again tormented
But what have I lost?

Intrigue

Avoid attraction
But such a fun dance to me
Hard to keep away

Swan

Piece of true beauty
Cut, prod, paint, starve....perfected
Pretty, mangled corpse

Gray Haired Woman

Wandering alone
Lost, looking for connection
"May I sit with you?"

90

Good Samaritan
Solve it all without seeing
I fucking count, too!

Young Rider

Young, fresh, in a suit
Floating along to somewhere
Where do your dreams lie?

Most Days

Sill little girl
Against the black formal mess
Seen as an eye sore.

Bridge of Sighs

White bridge to the end
Lose all your essence of life
And let your soul die.

4 Indian Business Men

Music blocks their tongue
Lips move, heads bob. How's it said?
Ear freed, voice slips in.

Unease

Unsure of the path
So much gone, so little new
Where am I going?
"Don't worry. We'll get married."
Is that really what I want?

Some Days

Giant mass creeping
Inching between the white lines
My mechanic worm

597 at 7:46

Reading glasses perched
Latest gossip from People
Why do you read that?!

New Sandals

It's too fucking hot
Buy new sandals to cool me
Three day open wounds

Illinois

Tornado warnings
Storms racing across the state
Argh! Fuck this! I'm tired.

Louisville

Thunder breaks my sleep
Wake up to flash flood warnings
Let's go and explore!

St. Louis

Drive to St. Louis
It's the St. Patty's Parade!
What a nice surprise

Why Bunnies?

Yeah, I actually thought I should explain in case someone thought I am totally psychotic. Not quite, but just crazy enough to read the books of bunny suicides...found in the humor section of your local chain bookstore.

All suicides depicted so far are from the first book. "The Book of Bunny Suicides."

Acid Bunny

Bottle on the shelf
Slowly leaking its poison
Clean white bones showing

Bunny in the Tree

Ready to come down
Axeman makes the call to pull
The bunny goes squish

Bunny meets Aliens

Aliens arrive
Swift bunny kick to the groin
Out come the lasers

Bunnies in the Dark

Sun's total eclipse
Two bunnies juggling chisels
Chisels in their corpse

Flood Bunnies

Ark is getting filled
Animals walk two-by-two
The bunnies sunbathe

Obi Wan Bunny

Bunnies, not Obi Wan
Leap onto the light saber
Darth Vader is pissed.

Sitting Bunny

Outside World of Knives
Magnets R Us opening
Anticipation

Javelin Bunny

Throw the Javelin
Run, run fast little bunny
Catch it through the eye

Helicopter Bunny

Trampoline bunny
Bounces through the copter's blades
Now tiny slices

Cost of Education

"Nonpayment"? Oh, shit!
Anger, memories, and calls
...Wait! Can I forbear?

Passing Abbott on 27

Such a strange image
On break smoking and chatting
The sweet irony

Giant Millipede

Many little legs
Moving like black little waves
All along my arm

Express

Copies filling seats
Going different places
Same destination
