So after I told the crowd
in the store that I was
not Dolly Parton,
they quickly went away
disappointed and forlorn like,
going over to the dairy
to pick up some milk,
tried to stay calm as I
noticed pictures on
the back...

Will I have known I toured the African plain?

We had never been there, and frankly seeing them was great.
But quite...

For actions never followed, the words he so condoned
And though spoken with eloquence, grandeur, and ample grace
His words seemed not matter when the matter came...

A sweet experience that I have had before,
has me turning around and coming back for more.
Consider me just a plain and ordinary man.

Baila, Lilah; move your thing.
Ragtime; Turkey Trot!
Magic step into the Swing.
Show us ALL you’ve got.

Hand Jive; Twist and Shout.
Mash Potato; Rock...

Life on a hitchhike

A cool drool drip slid to the corner of a slit shut
mouth. Eyes that once FLASHED reared back and humbled
into occular armpits,  no explanation. Hands that once
felt warmth and high hopes...

I ate the enemy,

and bottled up the peace,

I swam a shore
and polluted all the reefs,

I waged a war,

I ate the animal
and labeled a lofty...

You keep me in awe of your anarchy
And your non-conformist...

God knows I don’t want to be normal
I want to stick out in a crowd
You have everyone look at me
And have them ask, “what in the hell is that”
I never want to wear a suit...

In spring it arrives disguised as a breeze,
In summer, heat, causes premature browning.
Of manicured lawns and foliage on trees,
Which often induces a homeowners frowning.

In fall, trees are cloaked...

From my English cottage
I can see America.
Éire sings, as it labors in my field of vision,
it's drunk on nostalgia as usual.

A great sail-winged albatross
glides across from one eye to the other.
The trip to Ohio
is a...

to share a lovely chill that tickles my smile?

of a dimlit digital marital marquee---last on the

We’ll hitchhike to mars
on a rocket not a car,
so say your au revoirs.

We’ll steer towards Polaris, the north star
right through the center of the milky-way-bar.
See, the universe is dark and chocolatey.
