Sunday Evening Spree

I see people moving, but going nowhere
I see people moving with their hands thrown in the air
I see people moving but they have nothing to share
Bags and pans, old kettle, and old man
The scavenger, the...

Somewhere On Foot Part Two

“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me
“Looking for directions.
The town you’re seeking is a few winding roads and...

Accumulating Anger: When the Clock Chimed 9

I took a long, thought-provoking walk
I jumped off the car, never knowing why
I looked out the window and began to talk
Accumulating anger got the best of me - I can't deny

I saw her kiss a...

A Hitch In Time

Pt. I

The Lodger

Morning sneaked inside the flat and lit the dusty air
through holes in the torn curtains forming spotlights on the floor.
He woke from the discomfort of a night in his armchair
and stared at all...

The Night I Grew Up

Dad, I remember well the night I grew up.

It was 1966, an early Fall night, around 10:30...

But Sheriff Koplin got wind of it and he'd make sure they'd fail

Road Trip

Road Trip

The country, people, and the village,
All equal, as if, for the first time, 
All of that gave a fresher image,
Nay, 'tis but a relative vantage.
Save fresh road, to its left bears a sign.

Awakened and degenerated, I feel I am clashing somewhere

Millions of colors of the rainbow at one point I thought I was rare...

East bound to explore vignettes of China;

Blood Stained On Market Street

There must have been several of these incidents
Occurring in towns and cities all over the country
From month to month and from year to year
But to experience one at such a close range
Was enough to cause...

Reflection of Rain

October Rain

Is it
simply a case of precipitation,
moist warm air condensation or
are they God’s tears showering us with love,
as rain washes away our sorrows,
in the hope of brighter tomorrows.

Gloomy grey skies conceal a shy sun
with murky...

Hiding In Plain Sight

I had my plan memorized, 
and I picked the right time.
I walked into the bank 
when there was no line.
I walked up to the teller 
and presented a note.
She hadn’t lived my life,

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Iv

Pied tidings of suburbian 
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among 
Themselves - 
Rush to steal
From off the beleaguered bird 
tables,
To the annoyance of all concerned,
A much begrudged meal;
Before scurrying away into 
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

Tropical Island Surprise

You should have a getaway, my friends all said,
They said I earned it, so why sit home instead?

A real vacation would be the nicest thing yet;
Go see the peachiest scenery you'll never regret!

Catch the Right Worm

I have caught the right worm
Basking on a rock like a lizard
She twirled her waist in her briskly walk
A mile ahead of mature...

Glimpse

It was like a whisper- 
My wife delivered the sad news- 
"Your grandfather was dead."- 
And so he was- 
Her eyes was awfully sad- 
Touched me gently on my back- 
He was old- 
The time...

How To Attach a Shower Curtain

How to attach a shower curtain...

Suffering permanent anatomical
disfigurement, nonetheless
maintaining marital bliss
at steep price despite more or less
musculoskeletal dislocation,
I eagerly, readily willingly confess.

Ideal for someone whose height
trends toward above average

The Final Stunt

I immerse myself in your subtleness
And romanced with your innate madness
I look for a place to reside
So that I can have you close by my side
I wandered around the solitary room
Trying to hold back my...

Unknown Soldiers

We walked briskly across the traveled path
And stumbled upon something peculiar in the dark
We didn’t stop to look around,
Night was hunkering down upon us and we were
All in a hurry to catch the mid-night bus

Death Has Spared Me Again

On a bench of a shady park
I reflcted the goodness of a sinless heart,
doing right, hurting nobody;
but the blessing never came to reward me!

Tasting tears that a desprerate man cries,
" Job is not me! He...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots I

Cluttering above huddled rooftops
Of sprawling villages 
And shy provincial towns;
Rising sharply amidst swooping
Declinations;
Hesitating when gathering at the
Tangled woodland perimeters of
Outlying greenland bounds,
Jostled apex ridges detach among
Themselves...
When habitually roused from early
Mornings
Newly awakened sounds.

Electrical milk floats whir...
