Long Auditioning Poems

“Come on, let's get introduced to my play mate in a palm.
Linda, these are Joshua’s true other selfs.” 
Lelia emitting a peculiar chuckle.
A comic situation arose where I changed my voice for each of my...

Money
and Manna
both root back to Maneh
of deep and weighty Babylonian coinage.

Maneh transcends spiritual/natural divides
to nurture nutrition's co-present values,
dew-fall grace from Earth's diamond curious treasures
tribal communions inspired with physical bread

And yet also 
more deductive
reductive Win/Lose seductive...

Crumpled Thoughts 

They wait – in hues of vibrating silence -
Like leftover orts of rumpled paper wimples 
On creased clandestine journal pages –
Bent scraps of wrinkled inspiration
Smudged moments held in their one moment of time
Musings...

You don't know me
Who I am
You don't want to
You never have
But when I tell you this
You get mad
So you'd have me just pretend?
Smile and nod?

Whitest ashen gray, filling me with
A feeling of pure inspiration, vision
On this still, shadowy nocturnal vista

The audience waits expectantly 
For the...

It was a magical night.
Twilight was graying the cattails.   The crickets
And the frogs were orchestra-auditioning 
Forming a group sing.

Samantha, a faerie, whose specialty was spreading delight,
Was amid the throng, singing a lullaby to...

I went and appeared on a 
t.v reality show

And instead of changing my life
and making me a star

It ruined my life and made it
worse instead

It never made me and i didn't
become famous afterwards

A bad break came to my kid brother Curly.
It happened during the filming of “Half Wit’s Holiday”.

like shadows consumed by the dark of night;
