Long Flip flop Poems

A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and, 
Often a pessimist

Reversals of Fortune

To bottom, from sunset to sunrise,...

It happened many years ago, just after World War ll.

Time’s up 
mind’s plucked 
watch me cave in 
rhymes suck 
my luck 
hair’s wearing thin 
corrupt

We should never mince words,
when speaking of politicians;
but instead, call them what they are…
completely delusional.

At the beginning of “64” - I packed up my uniform
And walked out the door- it was the beginning of
The Vietnam war.
By August of that same year
President  Johnson started the draft
Under protests and jeers.

Then...

I can't stop believing in the flip-flop
digressions of your lies. They wrap me

like a warm blanket used to cover

she entered dragon tail swinging
Plastered smiling walls of bachelor resistance

From church halls to Soho brothels
