Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

The Girl I Used To Know
You criticized me to the end of my
existence. I completely lost myself, simply

Taxidermist
You a ferrous metal and I a magnet
Drawn to you by design,
Yet sin degrades all
With it’s terror and it’s squall.
On my worst days
When I listen to the liar
Saying “It’s okay its natural
Like breathing
Or seething.”
Desires denied
Sorrows...

Brine of the Anxious Marinator
Come sit and I will serenade
A sad, colossal flub,
A tale about a marinade.
(Well, truthfully a rub)
It is a long and sordid tale;
Not sure where to begin.
My sensibilities assailed,
Yet I must jump on in.
The task at...
