Driving Around
I shoved the priest into the white van. The night-vision goggles and rubber gloves had scared the crap out of him. When I let him out for a piss he was still raving: how was I ever going to get anywhere with my present attitude? I guess I just wanted to haul him around awhile. Ask him if he really believed, or if he was...

Premium Member Around the World
One day I took the subway and I went around the world From one car to another a new nation’s flag unfurled The train took off from Brooklyn and I hopped on at Times Square and by the time that I got home I’d been most everywhere The couple that spoke Yiddish, and hurried on their way were deep in conversation which she ended with,...

Premium Member A Bad Day All Around
I determined to take seize of a lightning bolt! Paused at every tree. Flashed and thundered all about – stood by every metal post, just to see if God wanted me. Went to the nearest church… prayed for a voice or sign: and from behind the altar heard a gulping sound, pastor draining the sacrament wine. Not a good day....

Premium Member In the silence that wraps around me like a mantle of silver mist, I step lightly
In the silence that wraps around me like a mantle of silver mist, I step lightly, Without the need to prove anything to anyone, without the desire to seek validation, In that sacred space of the soul where the echoes of the world dissolve into silence, A place where my story no longer needs to be told, nor...

Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory
Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory Just thinking. The other day. So many years have passed. Standing under the orange sun. Time is fading. Like pictures in a frame. Everyone has forgotten. Can’t put your arms Around a memory. So long ago. In a small town. So carefree. A child-hood dream. Time is...

Wrap Your Arms Around the Earth
Wrap Your Arms Around The Earth Destruction around the world. Mother nature at work. Storms on the rise. Buildings on fire. Wiped off the map. Submerged and trapped. Need a heavenly blessing. World crisis at the brink. A hard life after the flood. Bridges collapse, going under. Survive After the storm. Many homes are gone. ...

Around the Next Turn
The sun my awakening a strip of asphalt shimmers off somewhere in Nebraska hundreds of miles from home. Sandhills seen for the first time I look at them with eyes of a child but my body aches as life springs forth from underground streams. Center lines are being painted an arduous day of work promised it always arrives too soon but serene skies stretch to endless horizons. My...

The last gun around the bullet
Where my mind on my sleeve I have s.p.e.(I know you will get it eventually) and probably dyslexia Playing golf with a wolf called Rolf as you do Where were meant wear one plus one The rain the bough Brought the drought Jamaican hair I so dread If there was no nothing how would we now...

Clowning Around
If I owned a circus for you I'd play the clown (Do jugglers ever tire of throwing up? Only when they're sick of it.) or if I had a rickshaw I could run you round the town if I were landlord of a bar drinks would be on me as proprietor of a restaurant you would dine for free and if I had a row...

Premium Member Stand Your Ground, Don’t Get Pushed Around
If a cop stops you and says, "Show me your ID," Know your rights before you agree. They can’t demand it just on suspicion, There must be a crime, a law must be broken. No crime? No reason? Then stand your ground, Don't allow yourself to get pushed around. If they threaten you with arrest, if you don’t...

Premium Member Stars Danced Around the Somber Moon
A sudden darkness veiled the world below. Luna was defused by a shadowed sky, giving cause for Earth to be wrought with woe. Something strange caused the night to go awry as a shroud covered moonlight's golden glow. My pulse quickened at the phenomenon. I inhaled the floral scent of roses. Snowflakes drifted over garden and lawn. Like a fairytale that one composes, it...

Premium Member You can get used to a feeling as if it were an invisible cloak that gently wraps around you
You can get used to a feeling as if it were an invisible cloak that gently wraps around you, So much so that you forget when it dresses you or when it disappears in the morning silence, You sink so deeply into the habit of feeling bad that you no longer recognize the light, You don't realize that...
