Nine o’clock dark
Stage for shark swim
Deep arc stakeout

To share
To climb to the prime

Lone Wolf…
He is the irony unto his lonesome self
Thrust upon this world

Each day hurls forth with stress and strain

Impervious to love or hate, trapped beneath the skin
A symptom, fluid token with the temptation of sin
For lust reacts such potently, a blazing whiter flame
Destroys...

The verve of sensation and stylish variety-
Moves deeper inside where the rage of my heart
Defines my displeasure, yet tears me apart 
To know what remains...

5 dimes rest on the cafe counter top
Left behind by a visitor who dined
Waitresses must honor pancake wishes
As they disappear into the kitchen 
Swinging doors...
