(Tanka) Reflection

I stoop to pick up
a dropped coin on the shiny 
floor beneath me...
but my reflection gets there
first and snatches it from me.

(Tanka) Soldier

Wishing a soldier
well and to keep his head down
and to remain safe
is a bit optimistic 
given what his work entails 

Falsehoods

Those fake nails are real,
it's his smile that isn't true.
That wig is undeniably a real wig,
but I don't think he's a real drag queen!

That stone clad wall isn't real stone cladding
but the plastic guttering is made from genuine plastic,
unlike your happiness!

The front of that building is just a facade.
Don't you mock my Tudor!
Her tan is real,
she got it from a can, 
but the veneers on her teeth aren't bona fide!

I forgot goldfish have three second memories,
anyway that's a real distortion of the facts!
People saying most of the bodies heat is lost through their heads makes my blood boil!

Those falsehoods he didn't make up seemed legitimate 
isn't a thing that is not what its purported to be; just a sham?
I don't believe you!

Nepoleon was short,
but then everyone was really short in those days,
and bulls aren't colourblind 
so I red


Are we ready to go!

The early morning rush...
Wake up your shirt.
Shower everyones breakfasts.
Are the kids ironed?
Feed your tie.
Wake up the childrena sports kit 
Pack the children.
Eat your car.
Locate your toast.
Run a hair brush across your mobile.
Brush their packed lunches.
Find your hair!
Strap in the cats breakfast.
Grab a slice of laptop.
Unplug and pack their dinner money.
Load your teeth!
Get everyone out of the cat.
Has everyone gone..?

...are we ready to go?!

My brain does not see
the information my eyes
sends it to process!
