[bodytext] => I don’t know you like that Really, I would love to stay and chat- But I must be leaving Try me some other time Perhaps tomorrow evening? Try, try again Harder, You will certainly fail Most importantly Success depends On systematic reinforcement Of the overt stimulus event De- Escalating Words, Tumble to the floor Rendered irrelevant They will speak no more Select, choose, opt Pick the best response There are only two opt-tions Yes, or maybe no, are the only direct duo, Preference involved Adherence to the directive Interrupt the floating perspective Born against the odds of a faulty contraceptive Intercepted- The communication became privileged Reach out, To conflicting ideas Combine the smiles With the God-awful tears It only becomes worthwhile As the wind picks up in speed Delivers a message With vigor and intensity A simple observation- Of concealed hostility, indeed Disengage From authoritative- Control Integrated passion Fusing the parts with the immediate whole The tough tool-box Soup suds, discriminate Moss covered rocks Begin to disintegrate What do people agree on? What did you do right? Do me a favor, Hit the lights… Diffuse, The wired explosive Ascetically pleasing Blood-splattered walls The shattered gloss From the window pane The glass splattered collects the rain And all is left to the silence Which always remains Loyal to the ruler beside it The silent screams of pain ____________________________ ______________________ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Mangos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 19 [ratings] => 8 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
