She's fast asleep
Daylight is trynna come 
It's trynna creep 
When she...

Arthur Kaye, he was born with the head of a goat
and cloven hooves where he should have had feet
They made the most unfortunate racket
whenever he ran down the street

A clitter and clatter, a clip and...

So this is Fremont, California
Circa nineteen sixty-nine,
Nice and bit of a tight-knit
Neighborhood, that is fine.

and dragged him in front of the stranger
Poor Arthur was saddened and lost all his hopes
in the face of the hate and the danger

Too Much TV
David J Walker

I imagined 
a grand theme song
And the applause  
of a capitative audience 

A clever line or two and then 
	The laugh track 
Of an amused 
though admittedly
phantom audience 

I was...

Only yesterday it seems Brennan was born,
However, today I am so very torn;
That night he pitched a very good game,
Three hours later, he was shot in the head,
Oh what a shame;

hoping to forget about it

as if to dampen my spirit..

A man on the screen tightening bolts
Another, his brother?
