So many faces I’ve seen!

Now I do believe Darwin.

                        ***

The patient was treated for jaundice,

The autopsy showed he was Chinese.

                         ***

Rotten is well hidden and forgotten.

                         ***

Do you mind?

Or you don't mind

because you don't have mind?

                         ***

The words are so much winged

that they fly out of my memory

even being clipped.

                         ***

Save the drama for your mama.

                         ***

Mornings shock

to hear an alarm-clock.

                         ***

How to do nothing

so that to change everything?

                         ***

He has a will,

he has a power,

but has no willpower.

                         ***

Believes.

Does not believe.

Believes.

Does not believe.

Believes that I believe.

Does not believe that I believe.

One more chamomile, please!

                         ***

He passed a glorious way –

from the sperm to Dorian Grey.

                         ***

He watched such a horror

When looked at a mirror.

                         ***

If you lost a hope

Here is a nice fluffy rope

And a scented soap.

                          ***
