Catcher in the Rye

...The catcher in the rye
I go and drop the ball
I lay it down and cry
I’m sleeping in the stall
Cause everyone is phony
Your company is lonely
Your animals are bony
Your everything is only

I’...

The Ought of Autumn

...It ought to light up my being
With the color and passion
Of its crisp, browning magic
It ought to bring the sounds
Of fire crackle, warm abrasions
And unlimited clinks to hearths
Of every size ...

Camelot

...Some claimed that Camelot was noble,
a place built upon the stony ground
of good-intentions,
it was new and fangled,
it was progressive
in a time of little progress.

I have seen it, I was the...

On the Brink of Catastrophe

...This subject is too fraught for eloquent poetry
  So please indulge me in a straightforward thought or three

  For the first time in its modern history
  Israel is on the brink of internal catas...

There Are Never Enough Soldiers

...Never enough.
The mud clogs,
the mad dogs, the fogs of war.
Not enough soldiering marching.
They cannot now fill the great mirror,
the sky-high mirror -
all the reflected disaffected
and their...

A Pipe Dream

...Back on Baker Street -
pulling on a calabash pipe.
Paganini and Bach stream through
a cracked third-story window.

The Merseybeat’s…
the disaffected Pink Floyd years,
Mary Jane brain, mulling ...

Spare Me Disaffected Trolls

...Spare me the agonizing of disaffected trolls
Who find nothing of substance worthy of note,
Desperately seeking a modicum of control
Their unconcealed nastiness a matter of rote.

Have they nothi...

Too Many Women

...Women in business suits, women in jeans,
Women who like it on top,
Silver-plated women, just another pretty face,
Barefoot women aching for a carnal embrace.
 
Long legs, lean thighs,
Snappy as...

The Last 4 Years and the Coming Decade 3

Close To the Bone

...Christina knows a thing or two about sacrifice 
Ceaseless days, cold offices and numbers
Checkin' catalogs for the remnant of a social life
Eats her lunches at her desk, yet she's dying from hunge...

Buggy Blues

...In the soon to be future
they built an A.T.V.
and sent it to Ganymede.
It was ordered to go 
here and there,
to dig and scan - it obeyed.

Time passed, 
samples were sent back
for analysis.

Unsappy Happy Talk

...I said to my son,
He said back to me,
To be honest with us,
I'm worried

We want to be happy
while bypassing disciplines of left-brain healthy
is not too right-brain cooperatively sappy.

A Little Kindness Never Hurts

...Sit with me.
Sit with me, ragged feral,
do not be afraid,
fight for no space uncertain,
you will be soothed, you will be safe,
