...America ain't America anymore, Pa.
Guess what was in a news flash I just saw.
The Supreme Court decided that, for picking anyone off the street, mere suspicion is enough.
And Trump implied that wi...

A Monster’s Misery

...I don’t like mirrors anymore 
They’re a reflection of everything I try to ignore 
The acne on my face 
My stomach gaining weight 
These love handles aren’t fake 
It sucks to be this way

...“I like it; go get it and stand it right there.”
The ‘It’ was a concrete bird bath
It was heavy as hell; about all I could bear
I struggled… my wife had a laugh

She’d seen it online; it was sel...

The Ventriloquist Voice

...Thousand thoughts rummage the grey fluff.
Gloomy, godawful voices thump in self-talk
"I'm an idiot, a loser,...... it's all my fault".
Autopsies of the past, tear my flesh,
Regrets of a decade, d...

The Voice of the Oppressed

...The grandeur of my life are elusive
Mine ain't melioration; it's oppression
My free life is cramped by chains of servitude
And shout out loud I mustn't 
Because even the power of my tongue is tie...

In the same godawful place,
With wine bottles on the floor, 
and egg on my face

Dogs of Summer

...there's magic
in dogs of summer,
unbridled love
of every odor,
snapping greedily
at buzzing flies,
running amok
in sweet grass and sky,
eyebright,
they call the world

...Peas in the laundry
Skates on the stairs
Car keys in the trash
(put there on a dare)
Raisins in the carpet

Nail polish on the dog
Laundry dots the lawn

I Wish This Train More Empty

...She sits there
electric as the third rail.

Entering Charles M.G.H.
but we’re still moving quickly
(finally
just three of us now).
Each disgorged passenger
leaves a seat
looking back at me
