Stinkers Thinkers

Stinking thinking is actual therapy terminology.

The key to identifying the afflicted is in how they Express themselves…

Jumping to erroneous negative conclusions that ensure they are hard done by.

It’s a fucking epidemic of contempt prior to investigation.

Payday

I saw him at his best… Confident, arrogant, payday, dreams become reality. “Me and the boys are going to get some blow!”

The last I saw him at his low. The day after payday… Tired, hungover, broke jonesing His wheelbarrow was stuck in the mud; searching for solutions.

I will always remember that look in his eyes and my refusal to help. “Fuck you.” I thought… “I have been where you are and not helping you is what’s required.

There’s only one way out I know. Change direction… Head for the light. Pray

Greedyguts!

More than I could ever need.

Desire for more is replaced by greed.

I’m Greedyguts!

Easter Sunday I want the store.

Give the lamb and the Lions roar…

I’m Greedyguts!

I want it all, much more than need.

Don’t know why it’s how I bleed.

I’m Greedyguts.

Bit off more than I could ever chew.

It’s something old and nothing new.

I’m Greedyguts!

Odd Couples

They seem to be more common than uncommon, in fact they seem to be everywhere…

More than just cats and dogs, or fat and skinny…

More than just curious, it seems somehow strangely tolerant and accepting.
