Rugged
I am going to write a funny poem
Why does life have tomorrow?
Because if it doesn't
Wouldn't you have it today?
Far near
How far is far
And how near is near?
Close enough to me
You are too close
What do...

In My Living Room
There, There! Good Children!
I say to the furniture gracing my space,
semi-circling the weary gray eye
of the television, as if it were the center
of the world. It's tired, but YOU are

Christmas Wishes from the Parents
The idea of Christmas snow in Michigan is replaced with fog
Hot breath exhaled to cold lollipop trees
My blurry life-sized polar bear salutes through the front window
To me
Staring back from the couch
He is sweating out there...

Her Day's Worth
At sundown, my dreams begin
from the privacy of a wooden door comes freedom
Beyond every window is a mystery
Life's detective--with little hands
Daybreak, I shall start again
nurturing discovery
every swaying gill in the bayou will be poked,...

Santa
Santa and his reindeer
Landed on my house
Invading my tranquility
Much larger than a mouse
He didn’t have a gift for me
Just was taking a short break
From all his other rituals
On Christmas Eve he did...

Coming of Age
Awakened by cops, I am frightened and confused. My parents arrested, I was removed. From house to house, I am placed with mannequins who “love” in parentheses. “Mommy, when will you come?” Her face plastered...

Raindrop Butterflies
The snow slowly morphs into rain, a thousand cold cocoons that release raindrop butterflies into the frosty air. They glisten in the morning light, clinging to soft leather like tiny diamonds as he drapes his...

Life Repeats
(Mickey D's, Winter Haven FL)
Fanciest McD's you ever saw!
Life sized statues caught in motion,
Marilyn, her skirts flying, Elvis,
thrusting out his guitar in a musical
orgasm, both Blues Brothers in
black suits, ties awry --a...

Get Thee To the Whitney
Get thee to the Whitney!
It’s the one thing you should do
If you’re in New York, to see
The kitchen made by Liza Lou.
It’s a life-sized recreation
Of a room each person needs,
But the fridge and stove and...

Fao Schwarz
The biggest toy store in the world
Is closing up its doors.
No longer will we get to shop
In this, the king of stores.
With huge toy soldiers in the front,
It welcomed all who came.
The famous piano scene...

Big Impression
It isn’t the big celebrations,
Enormous dinners or huge gifts.
Parties never rouse foundations,
Jamborees or festivals.
It isn’t the life-sized creations,
Who impress kings, rulers or monarchs.
It’s the little things, a gentle expression,
When hearts meet in the deserts,
When dreamers...

A closely concealed quiver, on the newly freed...

A Prayer of Regrets
Maybe I should have
bought Fort Garry Personnel
for a dollar instead of letting it

sit behind with a phone
to make appointments,
life sized, watching the
business...

Your Grandma Has the Keenest Place
Be sure and notice her life sized pink metallic gorilla lamp.
I look at my friend. Are you serious?
