My Universe

They served Cosmos
Not what I drink
But like Neil’s shows
they made me think
In life’s vastness
what’s one’s drink mess
Here’s where I care

Playing the Odds

I bet my life,
it’s not worth much,
against the knife
you tightly clutch.
Though in my heart
I fear we’ll part,
all in to win

Acting as the
defense witness
I made them see
he was witless
As mastermind
he’d rate behind
a box of rocks
