Long Littler Poems

So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?
Of stars, a quiet, hot snowfall
of white stars; sandal season squall.
Each birch tree here outdoing 
January's record accumulation.

Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of
birches'...

This simple story I relate to you exactly as it unfurled…reminding me there is still pure beauty and innocence in the world.

A mother and her daughter entered the bookstore…at guessing ages I am poor…I know...

I set off on an ambitious journey;
Several years gone I embarked on a travel
To a beautiful destination miles away,
And I did not know the paths very well.

I thought it would take a year or two
To...

A young girl runs around the park looking at flowers.
She looks at them and smells them. 
This littler girl eyes lights up.
She sees all these yellow flowers and started to run around.
She goes through them.
She...

Why?
Why not!
Their point of view

Each Friday they drank 
vengeance
every bottle drowned
another ache

Knights
shedding the end of a week
elegant shine
lost in devil may care

Needs
numbed in a 3-day marathon
Drink, drink,
drink until dread's dead...

Why not?
Coz they can't unsee

like a looming depression i just can't link...

Remember me
Remember me
I am she

She  will bring you
       A tease
Nothing less, then a please
Close your eyes
Come and see
Let me be your tease

Turn on the music
Soft as can be
Sit...

It’s been years and I did nothing but watch the walls crack
I look everywhere and see a glimpse of things I missed
I try to go back to do things that was undone
But what’s in the...

Today someone told me that I was strong because I wasn’t close to you. 
I’m flabbergasted 
I don’t understand
Did they want me to cry on the streets?
To throw all inhibition. 
To run? To hide?
To stop...

Heroes Undone

We train men up to go to war. 
We train them to fight and kill,
the enemy. 
The people…
in foreign and domestic lands, 
that have no honor, 
and care not for law. 

We tell you...

Running through the sand
Holding her little hand
Making sandcastles on the beach
Breaking the rules together
Always within her little reach
She cries "Daddy! Don't go!"
Her brown eyes blink away tears
As they still do, after years
She holds her little...

Grand Citations of The Still Sober
In Neared Radios of Fresh October
And one had in mind a Graham Greene
But - Lo! - Some Newly Discovered Being:
“Greene had a bit got sensational,
 His rejection not intentional.

I do bitterly fault your restless digits, slatternly time;
Your agile dial's design I defy with mutinous rhyme. 
What's the veiled intent of your lightning procession,
Against this snail-mover's beleaguered progression? 

In swearing truth say why your...

Birth is obviously not when life gets its start
For long before, this baby already had a beating heart
They had their tiny little fingers and even smaller littler toes
But of this simple fact society acts like...

sun …

glints off sweaty trickles as
they plop … plop …
little lad’s littler fingers tickling a
tide pool’s papery face
things of mysterious intention, darting
there to here to there …
wide eyes wider in amazement
tiny thrums quick’ning
dividing breaths
like swells...

I see me in every little scared child
Littler than even the smallest of her peers
Voiceless outside, screaming inside
Taking solace in a closed space with a dozen imagined friends

I see me in every defiant teenager
Beautiful, smart...

I hear little whimpers from out in the yard.
He is searching everywhere, looking really hard.

Then I realize he is missing his littler toy dog.
He looks in an old bucket and under a log.

I realize I...

I open my eyes to see what might come
Sometimes I get lost and simply come undone
Emotions seem to get the best of me
Everywhere I look  it is beauty I see.

Why am I here I...

appetizers are not uncomplimentary
they are food for gods and primitive man.
The ape is the apex as
Blood and Oranges are exceptionally 
eulogistic pleasing to the soul 
Down, down, down into the darkness of memory,
Gently they go...

Why do birds sing? Because
croaking, like a frog, does
not become them – 

And why do frogs croak? Maybe
just to keep the tiny fish alert
so when birds swoop
they won't eat them – 

and if birds did...
