Small Mutinies
"Small Mutinies"
So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles
bleating from the
chirping crickets
and frog croaking
symphonies
muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum
With a chlorinated pool
Where one day...

your city taxes you to clean it up;
your house is torn down so they can build a strip mall;
they ridicule you and at the school...

Parallel Universe
Two pools lie in Druid Hill Park.
One for the white skinned, the other for the dark.
A high bed of grass grows were ebony feet splashed and kicked and paddled.
Each blade of grass is a soul,...

Illusion of An Old Man
It came this day
As I journeyed south
That I happened upon
An old man
Filling water bottles
From a small pond
Fed from water
That gushed from rocks
Half way up
A mountain
It must be special, I said
If you’re going to lug this...

The Backstroke of Bitter Tears
I dove into the deep end, headfirst, quite a splash,
Not of the pool, you see, but grief's enormous gash.
It’s Olympic-sized, this sorrow, chlorinated blue,
And I’m the sole competitor, with nothing else to do.

My Culture
Ignore my friend, ignore
work, work, work, hard,
40 hours to the corp,
20 hours to the family
and 40 to the drugs
you house is so nice

40 to the corp
ignore the abuse,
slave labor in another country....

My Zen Florida Vacation
Far away by the oceanside I sit and watch the seagulls fly
inside a pale orange sun that has yet to warm a reposing sand
Over by the boardwalk the air still hums of yesterday's feet

It's Not the Cup But the Coffee Within
It's not the cup but the coffee within.
Arabica beans, fair trade
organic and shade grown
often from a woman's cooperative in Peru
then roasted in small batches
by a local roaster.
I like mine dark
but my wife likes...

Water Droplet
I was a happy little water droplet
Playing in a cloud
Until lightning struck
And thunder clapped loud
Stopping all my mirth
Dropping me to earth
Joining many others
Of my sisters and brothers
Bobbing wild and rampant
In a surging torrent
Towards a...

Poetus Interruptus
There are few things so inspirational
As my morning caffeine and constitutional
Pushing chlorinated water or pavement behind
Puts a golden charge straight into my mind
That talk to text feature is my salvation
To throw down verse while in...

Parade of Antlers
I pump my arms, my legs
through chlorinated fluidity,
hopeful of shaping up,
not shipping out.
up and down, side to side.
sinking weights.
still wet, dash off to my car.
vinyl and towels on the seat.
wouldn’t want to be pulled
over, wearing...

I withdrew my hand slowly from the water
