Elfje '22

10 elfje (elevenie) on various subjects.

10 elevenie (elfje).

I don't need:

chills,
fever, headaches,
and your tsk-tsk-tsk
to know I'm truly
sick.

[68a]

Political Show Conspiracies

Couldn't
they imagine
life without drama?
We demand truth — or
consequences.

[68b]

Saturday night at the casino

Grapes
of Wrath,
bright rainbow bruises,
all fights fade to
purple.

[68c]

Lotus of Battambang1

Nine
doorways beckon.
Enter and leave
all doubts and pain
behind.

[68d]

Atheist condemned

This!
This way
leads to heaven;
why do you choose
hell?

[68e]

An atheist responds

I'd
rather die
as I live:
lovingly embracing all — especially
you.

[68i]

Ringing

When
in doubt,
call an expert.
My line be2 always
busy.

[68f]

Squeeze

One.
Two halves.
Our hearts beat
fragrant, healthy, juicy, vibrant
orange.

[68g]

January

Your
head swivels
east and west
never answering, committing, explaining,
Janus.

[68h]
