Long Every quarter Poems

Here he stands, Edwardian vogue, sometimes with his spats, 
sometimes with his brogues below his dungarees. With rounded collar points and tie, and jacket donned below this flying suit, his waste is tied with simple...

Each year as Christmas rolls around, as I buckle under the pressure and stress of shopping for gifts for people that already  have everything, I find myself remembering that Christmas of 1954.

Predictions work in twists of what makes life workable
High and often misconstrued by the dogma of science
Lies and damned lies and statistics for the insecure

I made lots of plans and vision boards
And lots of New Year Resolutions
On how I'd swim in bullion wads
By the Christmastime celebrations

I'd promise myself a new PC
And new clothes and shoes and new outlooks
That I'd...

First night in his final place
My dad called me weeping
“Please Bobby bring me home.”

His skin like ice cream
Melting on handle bars
Plopped in his wheelchair
Square
In the center cone of an empty room

Plaster cracked
A single nail
Where a...

I wish you were here
I wish I had sat beside you yesterday
When I had the chance
I wish I had told you how I really felt
When you said you loved me at the dance.

Life lost in saline streams
Straining to see
Possibilities in reams and streams
Crane to love me

Although I desire nothing unproven

My right side is shot to shit,
What...

No, no
It’s not any
Premature celebration,
But just some fun,
When everyone’s so sick
Of this pandemic.
So, ‘What are the cheers for?’
You may rightly ask.
But then, isn’t it a task
To stand in such 
Disciplined way-
Braving not only the heat,...

Super Moon so mesmerizing
Extra-terrestrials 
Aliens
Do they wonder who’s on Earth
Come greet Earth's homo-sapiens

You captivate me from above
I thank you and 
I send you love
Your beam of light 
shines through the night
Super Moon so luminescent

Your ever...
