AN OPEN AUTOGRAPH
(To All My Friends There And Here,
Then And Now)
On the bald branches of the lightning
That avoids the dark earth below;
Around the nipples of the October rain
That pamper the thousand lips of the earth;
I see you all; believe me.
On the receding waves that carry all the conches of the earth away into

Hell's Autograph
Swords belong
to those who wield them
Peace a dream
to those still sleeping
Wisdom lost
to visions promise
Blood the signature

Autograph
A moment that will pass too soon
So much I want to say
that can never be uttered
in those few seconds
Wishing we could skip this nonsense
the hours waiting in a long line
snaking out the door
and down the hallway
sacrificing half a week’s pay
That we could meet
as most people do
Simply as souls
curious about the other
sitting in

Signature Becomes Autograph
In my subconscious mind turning with time into
a fertile field in the fond landscape of flourishing youth,
long before corrosion of crumpled confidence started,
I planted the sapling of a tender tree called ambition,
nurtured by passion it grew to feel the touch of the sky.
In my aspiring mission I wasn’t confused in the

Signature Turns Into Autograph
In your subconscious mind, a fertile field of youth,
long before corrosion of crumpled confidence starts
you plant the sapling of a fond tree called ambition,
cuddled by passion it grows to touch the limit of sky.
In your targeted mission you’re not confused in life
for you align your focused vision on the bull’s eye.
The arrow doesn’t

Unfriendly Autograph
I hate to say it, but it's true
You don't like me, I don't like you
It's good to graduate from this place
So I won't have to look at your face.

Steffi Graf's Autograph
I went to the zoo to feed a giraffe
Brought some chocolates to the staff
Chatted and had a good laugh
Told them my dream was to meet Steffi Graf
See if I could obtain her autograph
And beg her for a photograph
So I’d print a humongous lithograph
‘Top tennis pro’ as epigraph

Autograph the Night
Her light, peach face
Is like a blossoming tulip
On an infant stem.
Those kind come expensive in Memphis
So they say.
