The Impulse

A busy Coffee shop on late winter weekend afternoon.  It is snowing outside.  In the coffee shop it warm a little too warm.  Coats and jackets are slung across the backs of the bothes seats and hanging on hooks.  Two strangers are seating by one another at the counter.  One of then is a man and the other a woman.  The woman is looking at the menu, but the man is look straight ahead.  The woman looked up from her menu and said.
W:  Do you come here often?
M:  Are you talking to me?
W:  Yes
M:  Well no I have never been here.
W:  Do you know what you want to order.
M:  I am not here to order.
W:  Then what are you doing?
M:  If it had anything to do with you, you'd know.
W:  Well sorry it sound important, I will leave you alone.
M:  I didn't mean to come off so rude.
W:  Oh, no I understand.
M:  If you understood you would not be here any more.
W:  What are you talking about.  If you don't want to seat by me there a few seats open at the end there.
M:  That's not it.
W:  Then what is it?
Man wearing a black jacket:  Every one leave. NOW!
W: What is going on?
M:  You heard the man we have to leave.
W:  How... how... you knew didn't you.
M:  What are you talking about.
Man wearing a black jacket:  I said everyone out!
W:  He has a gun!
M:  You have to leave.
MWABJ:  Are you ready?
M:  Not yet.
W:  Do you know him?
M:  Yeah I do.
MWABJ:  It's time.
M:  Not yet.
W:  Who are you?
MWABJ:  I told you not to talk to anyone.
M:  I said leave!
MWABJ:  What are you doing?
W: What did you do?
M: RUN!

Bad Poetry

Baby I don't understand
Days like these
I know they come
but girl we didn't start the fire
breathing fire
Got into an accident
right after school
but when they finally
came we were long gone
Police at the door
its not my house
somehow we know
somewhere we feel
work got done
now were gone
now we know
now we feel

Direct Orders

You have been given direct orders to rock out!
So rock our like she said yes.
Rock our like you passed an AP test.
Rock out like Heroes is coming back on TV.
Like you got called into your bosses office thinking you were going to get fired and he gave you a promotion.
Rock out like you want people to think you like this song.
Like you killed the last alien after they invaded.
Rock out like you got a Hole-in-one.
Rock out like you just got off a deserted island.
Like you only have 1,000,000 and 750,000 left in Deal or no Deal.
Then rock out like you didn't take the deal and then you opened your case and saw the 1,000,000 in there.
Rock out like you got 10,000 points in skii ball on accident.

Shake the Dust

This is for the kids that can't hold their tongue.
This is for the people that are happy with their pointless jobs.
Shake the dust
This is for the underachievers.
For the indecisive.
Shake the dust
This is for the girls who have two dates to prom.
This is for the boy who wouldn't talk to that girl.
Shake the dust
This is for the person who sits back and listens.
For the shy. 
Shake the dust
This is for the people who walk the same steps every day.
For the bench warmers
Shake the dust
Grab what you call your world and mix it up.  Don't do the same thing twice. Don't the the dust settle in all around and envelope you in a stale unchanging life.
