It was with immense fortitude that he endured the pain.
His back was arched and head rose as he strode down the thoroughfare.
No one need know what lurked behind his eyes. 
Although in all honesty he wanted someone to know what lay behind his eyes. 
He...

most poets
neither am nor want to be
just stuck
halfway to an imagined hell
of homage to self
and lip service to the creator...

Dress up now boy and girl, It’s time for bonfire joy
Bring your purse bring smile line up now for fun
Many costumes many shades walking in the haze
Sounds of drumming and of horn fletching reborn.

Kids wander in the dark, go from house to house

The Tonight show is once more a big hit
Since Johnny and Jay left, we worried quite a bit
But Jimmy came in time

EITHER 
a searing indictment of 
contemporary American society 
OR 
just a bit of fun!

Your love is the end
Because you make my world stop
Only we exist

You become my world 
But then I lose my old one
It fades from my thoughts 

Concepts, worries, friends

Keeping me alive...

A little worm about three inches long 
Hairy, weak thing not very strong
Five meters would be an all day trip
For the worm moved by pulling itself along just by its top lip

I’m tired of this crawling about, it wears me out
I have no legs or...

"Button your lip!" my mother used to say
I can hear her voice to this very day

Back then we were seen and not heard
You'd better not say even one more word

And if the message was still not clear
Shed reinforce with a swat to the rear
