In Another TimeI found him slumped over his Remington No.5, no more "Elite Typing" for this poor fellow. His Fedora was on the floor beside him, flat as a pancake with a stilleto heel print in the centre of it. Other than a pair of McCalls boxers,...

My Poor Aching 'Bristol Cities' Alternative Title 'A Tale of Two Titties'A letter from Bristol arrived on my doorstep
I knew its contents would cause me such pain
An invitation for a routine mammogram –
My Goodness …two years have flown past again
I arrived at the breast-screening center
And sat down on a bright lime green chair
The x ray...

Getting Lost In PeaceGetting Lost in Peace
When a man loses his bearings
In a land of riches and honey
He sometimes loses sight of life’s tribulations
Spoiled to the core he wonders what the heck for?
Why should he care of the dying and oppressed
Surely he made not this mess?
Let them starve...

One Pesky MosquitoA Pesky Mosquito
There is this pesky little mosquito…
It nipped painfully down there on my big toe..
Quick! I’ll need to strike back or it will soon flit off again…
Even as my brain registers its itchy pain...!

Closing In, Up Against The, Tumbling Down, Just Another Brick In The, Oh Hell, You Figure It OutI think I’ll just stare at the wall for a while,
painted in latex, light beiges and creams
Searching for nail holes in random-like patterns,
counting the cracks that appear at the seams
Glance at the baseboard, an alternate color,
maybe a calendar hung from a hook
Red and blue dates...

Someone Sat On My ElephantFlat is a pancake crushed to irrelevant
Someone sat on my elephant
It's hard to imagine that they did not see
The big gray beast in my easy chair
He would have risen up to be
Clear from beneath the offending rear
Someone sat on my elephant
Please be aware and more...

White DeliriumThere is a colorless glitch in my life
I've forgotten the taste of sugar and spice
I've taken a walk in colorless thought with a twitch in it
Turned sour and dour, weirdly glum with grit
Like tiresome dogs lying flat as a pancake
Lost my oomph, my moxie won't...

What Says the SilenceWhat says the silence between us now
With dour acoustical deadness?
Roaring waves of invisible vagrancy,
Breaking down the white rock transparency
Heavy and burdened with leadenness.
And all that is unspoken screams
With clinical padded-cell madness,
Hissing clues...
