Cooped within ancient bodies, this inhabitant 
dwells amongst an elder net 
of crabby, crotchety, curmudgeonly claque 
of old folks, only a portion of population I met
which achey, flaky, kooky motley crue 
disgruntlement fed as peevish...

Back in Iowa, where my mother and several of my siblings still live,
my big family gets together for a reunion at Mom’s apartment,
using the reception area of the little place where she now resides.
Mom cooks...

humanity at the mercy sans, small, medium

A train door closes packed with passengers.

Destinations being most different than others.

Typical light touches, embarrassing rubbing,
Lastly, the ever so bothersome nudging.

Unfinished conversations, from platform
Carries on within the overcrowded train.

Yapping and gabbing, defined as gossiping,
Amidst disgruntled...

I take a sip of pinkish liquid – White Zin.
Will I be able to drive home now?
The goblet seems much more fun than it should be.
I am horrified by her fullness. It shocks me. Too...

Many are gabbing, like magpies on steroids.  
As if we are getting away with something.
Our big chance to speak to adults, and we are taking it. 
Teachers at a faculty meeting.
I distance myself in...

My Hair Was Not There

About I was starting to become quite curious
Why do Americans take their politics so serious?
Could it be which way each politician will walk?
Or when they start gabbing and talk the talk.

Here's some things that really irk me
They must irk some of you guys too
Loaded baskets in those Express Lanes
My face turns a scarlet hue

Imagine the gall of some irksome drivers
Doing fifty in a fifty mile...

There's the
Guy
In the corner
Strumming on his guitar
Singing of the
Good ol 2000's songs
Shaking his head
At the recent rap reps
The golden eyelet
Etched on
There's the emo girl
In all black
Tapping furiously
On her laptop
Emailing any
Cooperations
That would take her
Her sighs can
Be...

It's was snowing like crazy
my woman and I were alone
somebody rung our number
calling me on the phone
my woman answered the call
started that Hello trip
gabbing bout the
weather
said it was so nice
for she and I to be...

What is that blaring in our ears,
is it the brain cutting loose
and spinning around our heads?

Brain figures and un-figures
looking through holes in its circuits,
what computes is painted on blank walls,
what just blurts
is spoken with a...

She'd been been beaten, pushed around and abandoned like trash 
without a collar around her neck she was a dog with no name
Dogtrotting slowly behind the back street she licked at her rash

The duet of a garden's music in June,
afloat with all the season's notes can bring...
The milder one is where chant of orioles 
join honeyed air's refrain 
as dragonflies flip a spin  to answer
the humming...

Birds roosting on the power line,
Squirrel can’t cross but he’s trying.

That’s his regular run across this road,
Back to his home with his acorn load.

Squirrel’s always in a hurry it’s seeming,
No time for their gabbing and...

Was he in the wrong place at the right time?
Slipping, sliding, dying
to live;
just a kid.
Mom and Grandma busy,
gabbing, too far
away.

Was he in the right place,
a parental replacement
for such a time as this?

A little boy with...

The truth in SPADE
Inviting to get LAID
Gabbing on-line
Many options to be WEIGHED
Is she(or a He) RIPE-
to be just my sort of TYPE?
Old enough for a MAN-
to get it on in my Chevy VAN?
Never really FOOLED
Since...

Silence is Golden

In a laboratory in a far away place called
Lahore
Was a mad scientist, who experimented
Offshore

He fiddled and fuddles deep inside his lab
Making clones of his glorious self
Thinking they mighty fine lads
He cloned twenty or...

Sultry morning
Hot air passes through my bedroom curtains
With a reminder summer has returned for certain 
Fans buzzing about
Up and at them
Grab my bike
Perhaps take a hike
Mom making potato salad
At that time our neighborhood was busy...

For the Blondes 

It starts with the music. 
Then comes the rudeness. 
NOISE coming at me. 
Talking stuff, listening some, 
but speaking more.

Truth is not a bean count.
it's not static, not fixed.
It is ever expanding.

We have no hope
of ever gabbing hold of it.

The sky is all around us,
it has a hundred faces,
that flow away as it is...
