My master’s degree's a senior’s cruise - most of the other students are thirty and even forty-somethings. Good for them, for making the (75K) investment, it’s hard, and they all look very serious. I am too, of course. It’s busy and constant - but it’s business analysis - it's not hard, like chemistry (see retrosynthetic analysis)...

I’ve Just Seen a Face my first selection I become more than I am for the contest I sing without the prompts and make the lyrics mine. I'm happy to have the day off. Neon lights shine in the window as other patrons watch and someone throwing darts pauses to take a look. Free deli sandwiches and chips on a table— a special night to partake. My second, Lady...

Norah Lynn was ten years old, and dreamed of being a ballet dancer; Like cherry blossoms, fluttering in breeze, whispering with no answer. She lived with her parents and sister, Phoebe, in the house upon a hill. Norah Lynn and Phoebe adored nursery songs; like mockingbird thrill! Often, they danced in coral twilight, after study and chores were done; Like...

Ah, such nostalgic nights, Twirled in skirt, wearing tights, Music soothed our soul, We sang along to Rock'N" Roll, Jiving with our thunderthighs, Supper, plates of fries, Our tunes--"Mama Mia" too, Does Abba mean much to you?

Mobile ring tones at morning light, disturb the shapes under covers, the outlined echoes of last night, two star-crossed microphone lovers, drawn from opposite ends of town, yesterday’s pub entertainers, way on down at the Old Three Crowns, they met singing Gloria Gaynor, ramped and amped with emotion, to songs that belonged in the haze, now wake to face their commotion, the music of separate...

This was last Saturday night. We were at a rooftop party in downtown New Haven thrown by ‘DocHouse.’ Doc-House is kind of a frat-house, owned by Dr. Melon, where he and seven doctoral students live. My BF Peter lived there once - before he graduated and took a job in Geneva - that’s how I...

I came to her one night like she came to me softly and with a whisper she said she had a three-year-old daughter at home. The dining porch was a stage where we lost ourselves in song the backdrop blue and red neon lights outside a one-way street streaked with taillights. Time and time she’d go upstairs where others dance, but she kept coming back to me. We held...

I look to the sky a dark friendly sky music stilled spotlights fade I look for stars in the sky friends offer last hugs under a cover of clear sky darkness opens its arms I embrace a welcoming sky promises of many tomorrows whisper an endless sky...

There's a place I(used to)go When I was feeling low. Weekly(closed due to covid) singing show. Karaoke Night. It(was) a lively place, Smiles on every face. Young,old,every race. Karaoke Night.
