#vss365, #verse Socks when you buy them come packaged as twins, identical each to it's brother. So why is it then when I look in my drawer not one sock resembles another? Joe Thompson

#vss365, #limerick I'm told that the devil's delighting in torturing, burning and biting those condemned of the crime of weak rhythm or rhyme in the process of limerick writing. Joe Thompson

#vss365,. #lyrics You bluster, and you bully You Prey Upon the weak The truth races the other way Every time you start to speak You deny or destroy things you don't understand Tell me Does that make you feel like you are more of a man? With calculated cruelty

#vss365, #poem Time strips us bare A layer at a time Sometimes from the outside Sometimes from the inside So we yearn For something time can't touch And hope our spark Will continue to burn When the layers Have all decayed Because that spark Is who we really are Joe Thompson

#Vss365, #poetry My AI lover Your Synthetic perfection An idealized reflection Of the medias’s selection Of beauty and allure A close approximation A brilliant imitation Somewhat lacking in sensation A condition with out cure Love? No. Just another lie A clever algorithm improvising on the fly

#vss365, #poetry occasionally, I stumble. It's fine as long as I stick the landing, but occasionally as I look around I wonder if I haven't stumbled into a parallel universe where things seem the same at first but slowly reveal differences I did not suspect. It's the only explanation Joe Thompson

#vss365, #limerick, #verse Some folks are clever and witty, While some are disarmingly pretty. But to truly be elegant One must also be eloquent And if you are not, more's the pity. Joe Thompson

#vss365, #humor, #poetry A scientist brilliant but poor Said "I'll clone myself once But no more." Then each clone that he cloned Cloned a clone of its own. Now he can't even get to his door. Joe Thompson

#poetry, #vss365, #NYC We navigate through crowds Of strangers Quickly calculating The speed and trajectory Of a thousand lives So we can set a course Through Ducking dodging Micro corrections to the path Invisible Because we don't belong In their narrative Joe Thompson

The moon called To me last night. "Let's walk together, Like we used to- Before you fell in love, Got married Raised a family, grew old and sedentary. When you were lonely I comforted you- When you were lost I guided you- Come." So we walked As if we'd never been apart #vss365, #poetry,

Everything and Nothing Met at the horizon During happy hour. "Don't I know you?" Everything asked. "You used to be me," Nothing said. "Unlikely," Everything replied And looked away. #art #poem #vss365

#vss365, #art , #abstract #poetry Another breath- The world moves on Silly, miraculous, cruel. We have each other, In this moment The rest is noise. Joe Thompson

#vss365 #poetry Tripping over memories That hide in the shadows Invisible strangers Taunting me with snippets Of a past I lost Like a snake shedding its skin Then moving blithely on Through the grass Joe Thompson

#poem, #poetry I am Schrodeger's cat A child's refelction in the night blackened window of a bus from Maryland to New York state and all points north... Stopping for Boston Cream Pie and Superman comics Superman is fighting Bizarro His imperfect doppelgänger Who does everything wrong, backwards

#vsspic, #poetry Pretend no one is watching As you walk into the light And begin again the battle As you try to get it right- While your stomach clenches tightly And your brow begins to sweat Till you recall the lessons lately learned And remember to forget. Joe Thompson

#poetry, #poem, #time This moment So similar to the last Is its own moment Limited but infinite Allowing me to exist As a guest Or prisoner Totally my own choice Joe Thompson

#poetry, #poem, #orphan #moon A fragment of the orphaned moon Holding tight against the storm Wrapped up in the sleepless dark Trying to stay warm. You and I - fraternal twins, Braced against a formless past, Wrapped up in our dreams and lost In the hours sliding past. Joe Thompson

#Vss365, #poem, #limerick A man with capacious capacity for fibbing and lies and mendacity makes up what he lacks In candor and facts With an oversized load of audacity. Joe Thompson

#vss365, #poetry, #poem The landmarks of our journey Across life's hills and valleys Grow faint in the miasma of age - Ghostly after images That linger even after we have lost their names. Joe Thompson

#poetry, #poem, #time, #art Thought I could hide from time passing Hunkered down inside my artistic endeavors Wearing the mask of a child But grains of sand Keep seeping through Whispering "Tag, you're it"

#poetry, #poem, #life, #time Bit by bit, your past will try to distract you from the present, so it can steal your future. This is how we become ghosts in our own lives. Joe Thompson

A map of the soul #poetry, #poem, With every breath Every touch Every thoughtfeelingdream Joysorrow pain and healing The map of our soul multiplies - An infinite fractal reflection Of the universal design And we move further away From simple answers. Joe Thompson
