Old men in blue jeans

Dungarees – that’s what they were called,
heavy, blue denim, metal button fly -
form that followed function.  The “cuffs” were
rolled up because inseam sizing and “pre-worn”
softened and frayed only occurred if you got
them from an older sibling.

Time has a way of...

With mental arms, I gather up the reasons
Why I love you .....

Our season came in springtime
You did not intend to be my knight
No white steed, nor heroic plan
Just a man....

But like a tree, standing tall
When seasons came, to swallow whole
You wrapped strong limbs around me
And...

The first, a blessing of birth, from a mother of faith.
Flat fat feet which, in the shower,  sound like suction cups.

Daughter of polar opposites, wife of a patient man,  
mother of three unique comedians

Lover of sincerity, loyalty, dependability

 and feels time passes too quickly

Who fears being inadequate, being a...

the child inside

revealed through cascading 
recollecting
regrets unspoken break free
boundlessly

the child inside

hindered responsibility weigh

elation manifestation refuted
deniability

restricting
flee to autonomy- mischievous

The one called imbecility,
Along with instability
And rampant incivility.
I lack dependability

The concept “genius” –  you’ll agree – 
Really fits me...

to and fro as it struggled to stay afloat.
Next came the heavy rains of...

I gazed into the coffee cup
knowing I would not see the bottom
until it was empty.
An oily rainbow circles
its steaming center
consistency lingering
in its aroma
The cup was meant to be held
savored
its warmth cradled
age honored
memories cherished.
Its stains do not tarnish
but embellish
accent times passing.
Its chips pay tribute
to its dependability
dedication,...
