The clothes were all hung in the lockers with care
In hopes that the I. G. soon...

Atuk was a bad man,
He split his family, lost his money
He drank the dark tearful sorrows away,
As he walked he abused,
The syahadah he refused,
He was a bad, violent, angry dark man.

He made people cry, 'specially...

Harvey grew up in a small Maine town,
due north of Portland, and out of the way,
like most kids he’d go to the school bus
at the beginning of every week day.

And every day that he made...

...Utterly stunned, Harvey then poured through
the town’s online photographic archives,
the twenties, fifties, eighties and today
revealed to Harvey the very same sight.

oil her favorite medium,
she didn’t do postmodern crap,
old masters showed how it was done.

soon had half a million watchers
who all...

I

when the world had no headsets
the sunbathing crowd
fell asleep to the sounds of
transistors played loud
while the deckchairs and windbreaks
kites, beach balls and more
formed the stripes, lines and circles
that painted the shore
and the longer I walked
on...

Weston worked and worried
from sun up till sundown
for the freed-man knew the reason

In the telling told, the stories unfold
Of days long faded, in history's hold
Grandma, your presence, a memory gold
In our hearts engraved, for times untold

In Leteng's remnants, your essence we find
Folded carefully in our minds
Each tale,...

"Oh, I can't wait!
To get in my sweet baby's arms,"
My professor would exclaim
At the end of each day
In pottery class.

She was a tall, beautiful woman;
He was a down to earth fellow,
And his vine was fruitful
With...

Frightened love, fled far from been...

We rode beyond the flip
Of Walter and his friends,
On this homo steady slip
In the cabin to the west,
Where the pride of lions sleep
All night till the end.

On the hillside of west,

light dripped
from the street lamp
like fluorescent dreams a-mist
fog wafting in wavy, buttery shards
her own private stage
lithe, leggy form and perky curves
fuchsia Claiborne mini-dress and black fishnets
one spaghetti strap dangling coyly
as if begging for a tug

She was pale as death warmed over with red hair
But flawless porcelain skin that had never seen...

9:00pm on the dot
And I materialize on the spot:
A Benson ‘n’ Hedges spot
I would at it stop
On a fairly spent night
To enact a scene not right;

The Pitch-Black unwise options;
Christ, I’m sure in...

the edge of love’s steep cliff

Love is
all we hoped 
it would be
promise of a wish for us

But lover
here we are
flying high 
love's no more an empty dream

So kiss me with your sweet lips
don’t let this...

from libelled forces, which compelled his hand,		
to lies, and morals left to slow decay.

No one forgo or risk refute her right,...

“Was the car actually a Camry?”
John delayed, then got free cigarette 
Of a brand prized above his Lovette.
And he didn’t hear his voice drop “Yes...” 
Before a second...

Do not be too high for a minial task.
Those above you may come around it
And curse a praise, then, amazingly ask,

"Did you perform this excellent work?"
"Are you the one...

for what the future holds in dormant trust.
Such youth a squander, time cares not her fate
for loveliness displayed is merely dust.
