He refused a quick roll in the hay
So what could be the cause -   
It’s the male menopause   
He’s been grumpy and snappy all day!
 
His...

There’s a new American Holiday, guess what it is my football loving friends,
It’s a classical sport of champions, where helmet headed, game geared
Warriors challenge raw brawn against skill’s swiftness, to conquer and win,
With screaming fans,...

breeding frenzied jawboning 
nastiness, rock'm sock'm vermin 
zealously, dizzying hordes kickstart 
outrageous trampling, xMen busting

displays, heralding luminary 
pastoral times, Xing Bethlehem
figurine Jesus observes sacrilegious 
wackiness anarchy.

Surrealist’s funeral is held in the air,
yet, his coffin is not carried by a supersonic speed plane 
flying through the open sky—altitude higher than the stratosphere,
gazing at the sun or a blimp drifting away, in...

From his mama's own mouth, this story came
Her travail to carry him, a long trail
Of tears, loneliness, suffering and shame
A hunger for which hope made no avail
And then the hemorrhaging, her vital blood
Like common mud,...

The shadow
Of your betrayal
Hangs over me like a dark blimp
Hiding
My mountain

The mountain I go to, to meditate.
The Mountain where I go to seek Peace.

It was lit before by the Sun above
But now your blimp blocks...

Before my wife and I
Broke out of our shell
For spring break in Miami
Just the two of us on our first vacation in 30 years

All our kids wished us well
Though I detected an ache in their...

On either side
Of a crowded family dinner table 
There are signs of ambition and resentment
Success and failure
Marked by those who pass
The plate
And those who only take.

A lighter than air blimp 
Floated 
Lazy circles 
High above...

My blimp is on the fritz again
The hovercraft just popped
I surely cannot take the car
That’s jacked up in the shop

The bus won’t come out to my house
There’s no train tracks nearby
But I must make it...

This crazy rush hour traffic, traffic
like swimming the Caribbean Sea,
in these streets you don't wanna be.
Headlights brighter than spaceships,
spaceships, these drivers make you
wanna flip, rush hour you'd wanna skip

Many hurrying and rushing, rushing
sending...

Whenever he felt like the walls were closing in,
like there was no more hope
That's when he visited his favorite gallery,
his shooting gallery for shooting dope

He had an infected arm,
he had an infected leg
So he plunged...

Midnight hour was approaching. . .
New Jersey forests hugged each 
Side of the lonely highway.
Tired feet and tired bodies 
Rested upon worn leather seats
In the black stretch limousine 
Containing three sage pilots 
And eight stewardesses,...

Looking for the day
To run around waving a plastic wand
To down a Butterbeer
To get the most desired sugar rush
5 points to Hufflepuff
Looking for
The thrill of
Meeting someone new
A secret kiss under the midnight dew
With the neon...

 This is the story of Albert Bligh,
who painted a boathouse upon the sky.
Albert was as bored, as bored could be;
he’d grown up in a house high in a tree.

Albert had a bigger dream, you...

By middle age he became unseen and hatless; 
would not look at the back of his head
as he slipped by unnoticed 
through a changing world.

It was some recompense 
that his Idea of ‘self’ had expanded;

Come and gone like small twister
like the cloud of debris he’s left.
Echoes of Charlie Brown’s buddy Pigpen
blow through the cobwebs in memory.
Left over coffee cups replacing
Transformers still dumped in the attic.
Reams of knarley skateboards, wheel-less,
lay...

No more dieting women!
Clothes for adipose only, made for wearing
and swimming.
Watch the shopping channels, do they hire
by the most pounds?
Thin models must retire, adipose only?
And must be totally round?

I remember being twenty-one. American Airlines 
considered...
