The Bucket List

Imagine if you will, a scene unlike any other,
Sipping Espresso daybreak, foothills of snow that smother.
Pavement Café in Zermatt, first patron of the morn’
Eyes glazed in wonder, the magnificence of Matterhorn.

Imagine if you...

Peeling Back the Bubble Wrap

Peeling back the bubble wrap on the ancient of days, 
Back to when Nixon was still presiding,
He, leading with paranoid deliberations, 
Sold his yeses to the Goldbricks, and the Mustard Men;
And...

Since the elders often proclaim, my how time flies, 
You then naturally look up into the skies.
To study the heavens for at least one small sign,
From the horizon up to the tallest tree line.

The black wall reflected my white-washed skin 
and disheveled jacket, above the chattering din...

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
It was chilly reminiscent of a wintry shower bath 
Making the body freeze 
With a tundra tease 

It came from up there 
Screaming icy air 
Was it a duct?...

I drink my root beer
with soggy fries
soiled buns
Hamburg runs
while watching the tube
in an unsightly nude
give me a Draft or an A&W glass
sitting in this position, it hurts my advancing Ass

Plenty of...

As a tad his soul was fired as he was regaled with family lore,
Rapt, hearing of his forebear's national service in times of yore.
Following tradition, he donned the uniform as his fathers did before,
Eager to...

Think about it,
cause the slug won’t
The next thug

As I gaze into my buddy's eyes
I'm feeling so much dread
He could be lost,I realize
One more among the dead

This muddy swamp is thick and vile
Somehow we'll make it through

The passengers were strapped in tight,
Excited for their twilight flight.
To get a close-up city view,
The doors were open as they flew.

Expecting to see New...

Three warriors strong, of fleeting 
Foot, beset by  columns of night’s
Thick soot, to  waadi’s tears dried 
Long and loud, waits deadly mine
With shrapnel’s shroud

Rocks as mailbox, scattered
Round,but no letters can be found,
One foot...

Warm the blaze to a glow from whence we came,

All through the night, this next part...

The clock is ticking
The hands are turning
His heart is racing
His mind is hurting

Around the ground his eyes do pace
Cannot believe what he's about to face

Feeling weak
Legs are shaking
hands clasped tight
The prayer he's making

Checks his watch
14:06
Only...

A tugboat, a ferry, a Circle Line cruise
All chug by on the river, for me to peruse.
A breeze gently blows as the waves settle down
As I soak it all up here on my side of...
