The B Side Man
I was cut in the studio after the hit had dried its sleeve—
a shadow-track pressed in wax
buried under the melody that crowned them kings
I came with the needle's sigh,
not for applause,
but for the noise you never chose.
The A-side spun through summer air—
windows down, girls laughing loud
boys riding every chorus like a dare.
Me?
I cracked my voice

45 percent, required'
A tarriff should be earned..When freedom is
Spurned, maybe for a year? A while.' A time.'
Till free speech and expressions can again
Here chime..Can ring..Can raise valid points
Extoll..Quite a blunt weapon, to let commerce
Take its toll.' Still by any means.' Unstifle the
Tounges, that would build and strengthen
All truths true daughters and sons.!

45 years later
Monday
Exactly 45 years in Australia.
In bitter cold Melbourne Victoria.
Came here with few clothes in a tiny luggage.
Now 4 & a half decades later,
Collected lot of baggages.
Some are still good, others are quite damaged.
Was single with bright future.
Met friends here and there, but not dating till 7 years later.
Engaged and called off the wedding to the

GNRT DAY 45 COREA OUR LAST STOP
The final leg of this journey…the last 50 miles that remained
took us from the city Bangor to the town of Corea, Maine.
On the way we stopped at Pat’s for pizza and Helen’s for blueberry pie…
(our first two stops today along the road)
where the pizza was delicious…and the pie was a-la-mode.
As always we stopped so Deborah

what are they, grandma?
I laugh
My grandchildren are serious?
I dig out my old phonograph player.
They are amazed.
Thinking it is a robot.
And I am a genius!

7-45
Sleepless nights
At number 7-45,
Wasting time in doing lines
To feel just fine.
Standing in the kitchen
Hugging you tight,
I thought you'd be always on my side,
I wish I could do more for your borderline ,
I thought you'd have accepted my other side.
From time to time
I wish I was born blind,
Coz'
Colours are too bright
When I think

No Title, Yet - 45
There were times throughout my life that I lost you.
I felt so alone and there were moments I was scared.
Sometimes it was a shock and I didn't know what to do.
The world seemed so cruel and I was so unprepared.
I was completely free with the way that I lived.
There were very few material things I

15,30, 45 and Being Alive
I sit here
With a pint a cheer
Wondering about the number thirty
Avoiding not being dirty
It was fifteen years ago
As you all know
I was on top
Thanks a lot
To someone who gave me a shot
Brandy, they said what it was

Landsbyen -Into the North- An Epic Poem 45
Joulupukki began,
“I don't...,”
DynDoeth interrupted,
“Far beyond his father.” As stoic and emotionless as the Forest Elf was,
DynDoeth caught a glimpse of fear in his eyes.
“Even if I believe what you tell me, there is no proof.
