Colors In A Coffee House
Double time hits for the ceiling —
The clouds of white smoke, the healing
Childhood in my skin finally relaxes
Everyone around me in lapses
Coffee forms the swollen cheeks
With history's pick of bean
Water remembers
Water pushed under embers
The percolator
Like some wound drips her.
Eyes on the preppy barista —
Maybe we both see in similar vistas
She writes down...

Lemonade
When life leaves you lemons
deserved or not
some sunny summer's day
neither fret nor sweat
if citrus is all you've got
to show for your lot
to keep the blues at bay
be creative pull out all stops
keep calm stay cool
either squish or get off the pot
think of a drink
(old fruit)
and you're made in the shade
easy peasy lemon squeezy
simply put... make...

Half-Skunked Drunks
A truckful of drunks
half-skunked boozers
gun racks in the back
unlucky losers
pulled up to the pumps
for a gallon or two
only high octane
tanked would do
then one had a bad itch
he started to scratch
wanted a smoke
and when he lit a match
the explosion was heard
three miles away
to arrive alive
do what they say
'Don't drink and drive'
and yes it's true
it could ruin...

Interlude - not for contest -
Three dozen or so revelers whoop it up.
Prince''s signature smash-hit song, "1999"
Is blasting top volume on loud speakers.
A rollicking party reaches...

MonbazillacLet yourself be tempted,
You who have sorrow,
You who sings out of tune,
Let yourself be tempted
You who sleep so badly,
Among the ghosts,
Let yourself be tempted
By my Monbazillac,
Let yourself be tempted
By the sweet taste,
By the soft color,
Let yourself be tempted
By the subtle intoxication,
By the proud grape variety,
Let yourself be tempted
By the Monbazillac,
Let yourself be tempted,
If love disappointed...

Hobnobbing With The Hoi Polloi
With a stiff upper lip and old school tie
still it's just not cricket
but the upper crust they say
are on a sticky wicket
to pay the estate or make ends meet
they have conducted tours
of stately homes safari parks
and the family jewels
we used to go to Scarborough Southend-on-Sea
Bognor Brighton Blackpool
have fish 'n' chips for tea
but now for fifty...

AlcoholThat clean crisp bubbly taste.
That clean crisp bubbly taste I crave.
That taste just one more sip, one more sip to drown out the noise, one more sip to forget about everything.
One turns into two, two turns into six, God knows it goes down easier than water.
I used to be able...

Fella MeatusDisturbed by the interruptions
He would be disrupted by my
Skill
Thrill of collaboration
When ones partners are
Determined and real
In that self satisfaction
If achieving a goal
What's in it for me
Ain't gonna work cause
We are not in control
Tallow shall disguise the
Earthy taste of the ostrich
and garlic and onions
Shall compliment it's already
beefy taste
the mushrooms and wines shall
Subdue the...

Mugging
My bones float over her, I'm glass
Now on memories drunk I sip —
Another sun that must be asked.
My bones float over her, I'm glass.
I gave myself, my skies; cup's pass
A blue bookmark upon your lips.
My bones float ~over her~ I'm glass
Now on memories drunk I sip.

DrinkWe are not objective when it serves us.
Weighing scripture carefully, thoughtfully.
Yes, it hurts,
it stabs with two-jagged sides.
But, what is its worth?
It gets all of us
blasphemers, idol worshippers, adulterers,
thieves, liars, coveters, pleasure-seekers
and the lot.
It hurts…it hurts.
It helps,
it moves us

Ode to TapuyCome! Bring forth the jar that for months had stood
Patiently undisturbed in the shadow!
Lift its lid, remove the leaves that serve as hood
And help age the wine that’s about to flow.
Catch a whiff of its sweet smell long detained
That now perfumes the air around us here.
Take some of the liquid with a bowl unstained
And--wait! Before...

Final Vestiges of AntiguaCooled off to take a sip; two.
Greedily waking up; fading
of the whole cup - butterflies,
trees, flowers; drips touching
the final vestiges of Antigua.
Fear ascended into the canopy,
slid along the line; work gloves,
gripping. Incomplete instructions,
lack of common sense, slowed
me down, with my feet off
the ground. Grounds remind me,
in this creamy, courage cup
to not give up, keep going...

LamentationI feel maybe I hadn't chosen
My dream of studying abroad
with lots of sacrifices and restless body
I still end up being miserable
Abroad makes you thirsty for money
Where you quench it by slowly
Killing your health and body
Is it possible to go back ?
My heart always plead me
I smile gently and...
