Long Jokers Poems

Invocation to the Muse

justice 

What does this vastly misunderstood word mean to you?

Debated and glorified by us all 

Beloved; instilled among (a) core...

Stalks the lonely avenues of Los Angeles, seeking in vengeances

On the corner of thirty-Ninth Street she...

Flings and wings and rings rejected…
 Cupid’s arrows fly deflected…
“It clearly is too late” she signed, “to love, adore or pay me mind”

Penciled lines drew cruel conclusions
mocking mirror’s cracked illusions…
Sometimes, in time, I hang awhile,...

Before we get down to your last sites,

At the kitchen table
Sat still like stone statues – petrified.
A sick game of musical chairs
Sat waiting for the muted music to play again.
Saplings uprooted early; replanted in rows

DESTROYING the KID

"Love in the Time of Uncertainty"



Like the tide of the ocean
coming and going
with its calm seductive 
hushed reassurances and
vociferous remonstrations
dragging me towards the undertow

that come and go like holidays...
