    Bang the taut drum
       Thrum-thrum
        Conundrum

         Pound sand
         Ain’t it grand
          Conundrum

     Hit the bricks
     Pay for your fix
       Con...

A Forever kind of Silence

...A silence falls, swallowed by traffic’s hum,
I let out a sigh, inhaling exhaust and dust.
Her voice cuts through, steady, familiar,
“Which road takes us where?”
I don’t know, I never did.
But I ...

Leave That Omen Behind

...When you’ve had every chance and all resource in hand.
When you’ve been in good graces and known where you stand.
When you had God in Heaven reach down just to line it all up,
 
and you still fou...

Maybe I’ll Smile

...Maybe I’ll smile

I want to unbuckle my seatbelt
And drive off of a bridge

As I fly toward the cement
I wonder if I’ll regret 

Maybe I’ll smile
Because finally I can forget

I want to go...

Me and My Guitar

...I'd grown tired of all the stress and worries of my life.
I thought it might be best to take a rest.
I’d hop into my car and drive off into the starlight
Without a real direction, maybe vaguely we...

murder in new city

...seven women in new city have been murdered
in less than three months
news anchors keep the fear level high
women are afraid to leave their homes
especially at night
they have stopped clubbing

The Derelict Country Railway Station

...
The shiny, silver gleam
of wheel polished railway lines
have been dulled by a thick scab 
of rust. Weeds have colonized 
the stoney ballast, the wooden
sleepers have rotted away to dust.

Stroke Of A Pen

...Have you ever wondered about all the things that require your signature in life
How about a marriage certificate, I now pronounce you man and wife
A steady hand is needed  as you buy your first hom...

In the temple of my soul burn words misunderstood

...In the temple of my soul burn words misunderstood,
The secret bell of my hope tolling dimly in the echoless temple,
How I wished to sift the hidden meanings,
And to lay upon your altar achievement...

Cowboy Conversation With Barkeep

...Charley my wheel horse says that Jim is a yack, always jawing now.
They are both scrunchers, they nearly swallow their teeth on chow.
Jim is unsalted, but not lazy or slow, although he has trail du...

I Need More Than An Suv

...Though few drive off-road in their truck
Pick-up owners have run amok
Having a tail gate
Their mood will elate 
While the cabin carries a schmuck


Author's note: A pass to those folks who use...

In the Breezy Trees

...We are in 
the breeze 
with trees possible 
off the flying lake

look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office 
in back of the park

No back-to-back
or front-to-back

Under the Overpass

...I am the man who sits under the overpass.
I'm just a blink when traffic is moving,
but more closely-eyed when cars go by slow.

Some pause in inquiry, wanting to know if I'm okay.
Others pull ov...

He Has Court

...The child gets out of his daddy’s car and says, “He is in a hurry.”

Two weeks later I am opening the car door which never op...
