When life threw me a curveball,
I stumbled—then chuckled mid-fall.
Lumped knees, not pride, I wore like bent,
because sneering is something I've seen.

In chemo rooms and vestibules,
I frenzied dry jokes on aseptic walls.
Doctors simpered, nurses would beam—
a punch-line where the fear had been.

When agony thumped hard and...

Me barber’s still one of them blokes who lives the school of old,
using methods quite old fashioned to what modern trends unfold,
so with scissors, clippers, hot towel, then lathered with a brush,
he’ll shave you with a cutthroat, though never in a rush.

And he offers further...

"Sharp Nibbed, Diminished"



Ignominy, cries softly ...

When the ground swallowed him
When life imploded inside
When the little girl cried
At that moment life died

When his heart broke
When all words dried
When his tears cried
the second time spent

absent love wept
willows drowning dreams
turning pages slowly

a life boat floating aimlessly
sharp-nibbed oars
beak-like bleeding

She decides, 
it is set;
her eyes 
ask 
and answer.
Shoulders 
stretch 
back,
one higher 
than the other,
breasts 
push 
out, 
pelvis in-to 
a shallow c-shape,
rhythmic movements 
like breathing,
more gliding 
than walking;
a slight touch, 
then
a slow turn 
to the right,
slender fingers 
moving 
the air of 
her body
deep 
inside 
his...

I stood atop of my pointed view and felt the sharp tooth of truth.
How elegantly we lived the lie,  a fictional legend always on the edge of a prequel.
But the sharp tooth of truth really cuts the fat right down to the bone.
So what...

Sharp words leave invisible scars, and pain,
They pierce like sword and harm the soul.
Such painful words keep echoing the ears,
With no scope left for the heart to console.

        Like arrows sharp words hurt deep inside,

Humor plays a special role
In this world of woe.
Laughter's serum for the soul,
As all fun lovers know.
Robust guffaws brighten days.
Insides shake, and hot tears flow.
Think of all the many ways
You could cheer those feeling low.

A clown so cute
Can’t be a brute.

Ten foot tall in size
He called him Penny Wise.

Children abducted and killed
Parents hearts with pain filled.

IT was not a clown at all
But a spider hundred feet tall.

Don’t go near it might rip your throat
In the sewer you’ll definitely float....

"Next Poem, Erased on a Sharp Black Line"



The more I try to erase you
The more you present sharp and present
Oligarchy claps on, 
Teeth sharp and tongues bite venomous in numbers

There you are walking
barefoot and blindfolded 
on a Sharp Black Line
Daring to dive in

Here I await...

Oh, yes, that time has surely come-
   the winter of our years;
try keeping busy, having fun
   and hang out with our peers.

On senior bus trips, off we go,
   the highlight of our day.
But walkers and those footed canes
