There was a Black Cat in Miami

There was a Black Cat in Miami
Whose owners were told he’s Siami
But he’s just a Black Cat
Nothing special about that
Disappointed those folks of Miami...

Miami and Mi
In Miami he sat outside a patio
on the floor against the wall
and felt the Miami breeze in December
and tried to remember
the times spent in another world
when the milieu was different
and each puff  from his Cohiba
as he sipped a glass of wine
created a...

The ocean licks the shore
Like a puppy
Near high, pompous buildings
While in the far distance 
Hurricanes are wrecking the coast
There are yet unawakened hurricanes 
Why do people give them pretty human names?

Days here are full of sun
Glasses full of drinks 
In the numerous bars
Where people forget...

I went to Miami to find the beach
The beach was sandy and warm
It tasted like rye whiskey
Smooth and hard to forget

I went to New York to find a vacant bench 
But there were too many bums who’d made 
Them their homes

I went to church to...

Miami Nights
Calypso music plays;
Hips and arms sway to the beat,
Hearts melt in the heat....

Wake up to the 60's in Miami, northern folks praying for the sun
Ice-cold winds cutting, bundle up like it’s a blizzard snowbirds make fun
Nip of Cuban coffee to stay warm, sit around the fire to warm our hands
The frosty chill of a winter night, decide...

fat monkey's with beady little eyes
wander back and forth along the kitchens edges
licking their lips and hungrily kneading their hands
while i tend the pots and kettle
wearing my best low rent apparel
and listening to only the finest of garage grunge
its miami gardens in springtime
and all the...

I.

The Fish Crow is an outcast amongst the seagulls
Standing on the hot Miami sand
At the end
Of our rose-colored beach towel

Nodding and blabbing half-heartedly
Nuh-uh nuh-uh
To the lack of crumbs

From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old gray Michigan

We’re so out of place
Down here
As pale as if...

we heard that sammy
had a mother called mammy
won grammy in miami

button and button
after we had gone hunting
who has the button

we started to search
in a place where he would perch
on bench made of birch

were with many fears
they even had bought some steers
after rounds of beers

money disappears
when...

Jupiter and Venus meld like two canaries
Kissing in late February
In a black gap
Between mountainous sparkling beach hotels

As if
The planets have privacy in their own city alley

Sand in Miami
Warm as peach pie beneath our bare feet
A beach just for us
Bob and Kerri

What cosmic gale
Blew these names...

I brush back
Her wave of turquoise hair
She winces but doesn’t yet
Pull back
From the salt in her wounds
And the sand on her hips

From the laughing seagulls snatching
Last night’s scrap of words
Leftover
From the plates and lips
Of Sunny Isles Pier

Our winter was very dark and very long
So far...

It's snowing in Tallahassee
It's very cold in Miami
It's very slippery under the palm trees
And it's very cool in Haiti.

It's snowing heavily in Florida
All the streets are vacated and empty
The coconut trees are coated with snow
We are almost in a state of siege.

It's snowing in Tallahassee
We...

There was a panther roar 
On an icy Canadian floor 
Off in the distance 
Images filled with persistence 
Somewhere south marlins swim and dolphins dance 
Aquarium stage is where they get the chance 
While heat experience Orlando’s indoors 
Loving the magic galore 
Once Miami was...

A big man
Stands
Roasted pink on the ocean beach
Unleashing his gut over his bathing suit
Holding a can of Miller Lite

Surely a used car salesman in real life

Shows off
In front of a group of friends
Lifts his free hand like the Statute of Liberty
To a flock of hungry...
