Nonsense or Scribble Controls Chaos

Location

Do drugs make faces lie?

Does liquor deepen the hole?

Cut once to fill it.

 

 

When mirrors break,

glue can only dull shards.

When people break,

do we break the same?

 

 

Can tears be stitched?

Dry eyes never cry,

may be the world’s biggest lie.

Questions and answers

undo themselves.

 

Blind in blood bound by love.

 

Damaged heads,

breath in my bed.

Still the night,

unappease the drunk.

 

 

Why doesn’t the moon grant wishes?

The fishes

Oh, the fishes.

 

Nonsense is now sense.

 

Count the ways to start a question.

Touch the past,

smell the future,

clean coffee off the counter.

 

 

Romeo and Juliet

were never lovers.

Shakespeare was a liar.

 

Human nature is a whore.

 

Check the clock:

 

How

slow

did

time

go

before

it

stopped?
