Too Many Chances
"Too Many Chances"

What's he doin --
I can guess
He's reading
Away all day
And all night
Furiously
Desperately
He's got that --
Dictionary
And that --
Thesaurus
Nearly down --
Memorized
By NOW
He's doin --
That old
Stalkadillo
Mind grind
Brain crunch
Grid lock
Do it again
It feels good --
To HIM
Plan A --
Plan B
Plan C & D
Then there's F
He's flunked
The tests --
Word association
Potato -- Potatto
Tomato -- Tomatto
She --- her
He -- him
He's flipped
IT OVER
Reality's grill
Till it's altered
In every way
Plan A --
Plan B --
Plan C & D
Then there's F
What's next
All he needs --
Is yet another
  CHANCE
He's had --
Too many
Already!

**As with all poetry, essays, correspondence and/or published letters, e-mails or other communications presented on this webpage, this poem is a personal subjective expression of its author's own feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. This statement is in no way intended to invalidate or minimize the powerful and poignant experiences of this author. However, this statement is intended to indicate that creative expressions such as these written forms of artwork are derived from their author's own personal feelings, thoughts, beliefs and opinions.
**In making reference to the well known, "word association," tests this author is in no way speaking of riddles. The word association tests are common psychiatric tools used to determine if a subject can spontaneously verbalize logical word type matches. This test is not used in a derogatory or abusive manner with its participants. Nor is this type of testing known to be cruel in any other manner. It is simply a test, which indicates whether an adult or nearly adult subject can follow contextual meanings and word usage's and produce similar words in context with the originally presented words. This method, or the knowledge of this method, is not any form of evidence that might support the alleged perpetrator's deranged claims. I feel the need to repeat that this form of testing is used on adults or persons near adult age. Additionally, even if this testing were to be used on young children, there is no evidence that such an exercise would be particularly damaging. ___________________________
