but rather being distributed
in their respective bins at Wegmans
Under the Elms
Dressed up in our Sunday finery,
(which attire frankly looks no...

Trailer Park
After work at Google, I sat with the guys
I said we were elite, enlightened and wise
We had to censor those in this benighted nation
Who spread disruptive disinformation.

Nightmare Disposal
There are skeletons in the wardrobe but they’re home and dry
Looked after properly moth balled and yet unkindly falling apart
Conscience is layered just as are subconscious wishes and fears
Sometimes I play with the bones and...

To fill his boyhood fantasy
And own a shiny bike
But times were tough in...

An Old Vintage Shotgun of Mine
A loaded pistol,
With youthful courage till yesteryear;
Now lies naked and dormant,
And Is found to be lifeless and dead.
Somewhere, buried in my Junkyard,
Playfully tested till now in all arms to shame;
As it shyly, blushes and whispers...

Elegiac Lyric
Imprints
A martyr poltergeist left an elegy
Not much eulogizing the choice of a strategy.
Its undead friends never met their ends, they cannot be
The least affected by all this atrocity.
A cry of help was muffled
In the ruins...

Gated communities with white pickets; white teeth.
All of their new blood rushes towards leagues of Ivy and ROTC gold.
Loud engines.
Window signs.

Do you think those colors will be...

Behind the Chainlink Fence
Behind the fence, not there to play, two junkyard dogs are on the prey
Engines scrapped, and fenders bent, and shattered glass now pays the rent
Heavy pedals, limp and wasted, rusty metal, paint that's faded
It's much...

Fifty Toes a Wiggling
Tanned by the summer sun
