any heroic battle

ride it bareback if you

Ride them to a trot, ride...

While we were joking, cussing and spitting
playing baseball, swimming or just sitting
Our innocence...

I am the Blue Poet.
The uneasy man.
Who longs to be loved,
or just to have a friend.

My heart whisphers a low melody
on a faint, cool evening
thinking of her.
Once in my arms,

To travel our works all over the world
Meeting poet celebrities with handshakes

Our works will run connections in water 
Illuminating...

I remember eating breakfast in the corner luncheonette
Two eggs over easy with a side of toast

........jiggle clumsily; post halter-
behind braids- busy in evacuation of the cool pool water,
like a carefree bull in the field.
Her eyes sharp and cruel, unyielding to the faulter.
Fixating on a fool,

Satin silk with a halter neckline
Charming face and a vibrant smile!

It is early morning,
we are on our way to
Provincetown, Cape Cod.

The radio is playing

With the girl behind the bar.
Mixed twenty years of her closet life, with the highlight now in...
