FRONTLINE: The Trouble with Chicken

No. This didn't come on just as I sat down to eat some chicken wings!

Hidden Gaze

Her graceful form
Stays in my brain

At times I think
I'll go insane

When I see her
I play it cool

Cause loving her
Breaks all the rules

When no one's looking
I'll sneak a peek

Know that I
Must be discreet

Lest someone sees
An admiring gaze

I turn my head
And look away

It gets awkward 
When eyes meet

I keep it formal
When we greet

At times it's hard
Just to accept

Making no move
We might regret

The Litany of Fear with commentary

I must not fear.
   Do not 

Fear is the mind-killer.
   Of rational thought

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
   Of democracy

I will face my fear.
   Of the other

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
   Acknowledge it

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
   See its' genesis

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
   Liberation

Only I will remain
    And act with conviction

Petition

Goddess  

Whose glory is shown forth

 Bestowed 'pon one unworthy

 Wherefore, before ye on bended knees

 Humbly do I beseech thy forgiveness

For presumptuous love.

In submission,
He who is stands adjudged guilty

Twas the night of the Crossing

Slept the Hessian in Trent

With no way to know 

They were 'bout to get bent

All of a sudden

Arose such a clatter

Before our cannon the Hessian did scatter

To the patriots spoils of victory were won

900 prisoners and all of their rum. Arrrr!
