Ever want to get rid of memories

Reducing your mental and emotional load

All you need to do is…

Sorry, I can’t remember

Everything about the process seems to be missing from my brain

Brave (an acrostic poem)

Be there for each other

Remember, you will someday not be here

And what you do and who you help will be all you leave

Verify that legacy is the one you want to represent you

Even if some say you’re weak, show them that weakness can be strength.  Be…

Habits (an acrostic poem)

How many times can you do the same thing

And do you get the wanted dopamine hit for each?

Bet it is a series of diminishing returns

It should make you want to do it even less

That would be nice, but no, you crave want more

So you do it again, well, because…

Winter (an acrostic poem)

When Mother Nature’s dandruff flakes cover the hard gray-brown ground

It makes me want to give her a shampoo that would help with her scalp condition

Now you might think that I’m being uncaring and callous

True, but I think not letting her know about her problem perpetuates all the negative

Everyone would benefit from her doing a little bit of hygiene

Really, it would make head and shoulders of a difference

Key (an acrostic poem)

Knock and it will be opened they say

Except what happens when everyone is asleep behind the door

You may want a different solution for occasions like that

Spy (an acrostic conversation)

“So, what is going on over there?”

“Perhaps it’s none of your business.”

“Yes, but I really want to see!”

Why should he be tortured because of his desire to have all the things

And not be able to have them because they cost too much?

Not that he was going to let that small problem stop him from getting his fix

This safe, though…

Replaced (an acrostic poem)

Image: santeehistoricalsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/help-transparent-wanted-1-1024×537.png

Reading through the want ads looking for something to do.

Everyone wanted experience, and I haven’t done the time.

Perhaps in the past I would have lied and tried my best.

Learning what I could before I was given my parole.

And applying that knowledge to the next economic sentence.

Can’t believe no matter where I go, there I would chains waiting.

Eventually the robots will come and take all of it away.

Destroying our way of life and setting us free, but to do what?

Can’t find the right currency to buy your love

Oh, I’ve tried to earn your interest

I just can’t make heads or tails of what you really want and

Now you’ve left me emotionally bankrupt

Big (an acrostic poem)

Behemoth ideas abound inside my head

It causes a humongous headache since I want to do them all, yet

Gargantuan amounts of time is needed, and that I am all out of
