I Backed Into the Telephone Poll, Tears Roll, Tears Roll
On an eve in February,
As I placed my gears I peruse
What words I have lying around,
What comes to me so heavily
Is the memory of my old crushed car.
So why did my foot go forward not backward
And why did the flivver slap the old telephone pole,
And throw me against my face.
Just why did I do that,

A Hunched Backed Mobster
A HUNCHED BACKED MOBSTER
It’s sunset in late afternoon, where towards a water pan,

Backed Against the Wall
I'm backed against, I'm trapped against
I'm backed against this wall
When its that intense I lack some sense
then bad events evolve
My last suspence has me past convinced
that I have to dent some skulls
This path I went is in fact an attempt
to stay on track and fix my flaws
Stack chips from wall to wall
and forget about my

Beach Backed Chairs
Beach Backed Chairs
Dutifully I strode,
struck past police
look for police
past police
look for past
me too-
night bright searchlight

the German place
spews music from non-window squid fry round
tall hall- guard gun iguana[Guam] and some
