Great Transitions
Great transitions became part of human experience
after we gave up on daily nomad lifestyle,
perhaps too bohemian
to have ever actually existed
out of nutritional nurturing choice
As contrasted with necessity
of drought,
floods,
pestilence,
famine,
chronic wars,
climatic absence of healthy peace.
Great transitions
are choices,
positive...

whoever it was that created text messaging phones
needs to take all the money they made,
get really drunk, or really high
or a young girlfriend,
anything it takes
to make them old before their time
so they can die.

Jumping Fences
Did you know you’re trespassing?
Gated communities with white pickets; white teeth.
All of their new blood rushes towards leagues of Ivy and ROTC gold.
Loud engines.
Window signs.
(He’ll be governor some day.)
Do you think those colors will be...

She is scared says the worried expression on her glistening face.

A Sign
The madman chalked red X’s
on the sidewalks of the houses
if he suspected
or had evidence
that people there
were unkind to each other,
or their dogs.
When he was a young man,
he studied hobo signs
chalked...

An Extraordinary Dreamer
Since childhood my vivid and alluring aspirations
painted my rainbows with different colors,
not the ones I was after and truly adored...
who has ever heard of a teenager being bored?
Anytime I saw a train leave the station...

1959 Was My Heyday
I retired gracefully, happily, knowing I could never be fully completely replaced even to this day.
I was slick, photographic, revered by so many, loved by a few, heavy, a bit conceited but in a good...

Oblation
At the foot of this mountain named burden,
I found a place to sit:
Black water as mirror, reflecting dust blue sky
and clouds too thin to hold up dreams.
I know you’d recognize this:
Under the null sky, soil...

No Anchor For Rancour
Icicles hung from the roof
like translucent fingers
Clawing towards the ground
While behind the eaves,
She brushed her plain brown hair
Tired gray eyes in the mirror,
Discolored around the fringe
And gravity pulled...

Christmas Magic
The Christmas season starts earlier every year
Even before Thanksgiving, causing us to fear
That merchants spoil it, that it’s all about selling
That nothing can save it, nothing worth the telling
But soon we realize, we love this...

Empty Mailboxes
The empty mailbox used to sit
Outside our houses by the road;
Now it’s on our PC’s
And can hold a larger load.
Instead of visiting it once each day,
Hopeful of mail there to find,
We check it now, every...

Liberty Bell
I'd choose the USPS "Liberty Bell" stamp for an ekphrasis poem. Here's the poem:
In copper curves, the Liberty Bell's tale,
A symbol etched in history's hallowed gale,
On this small stamp, its lines tell a story grand,
Of...

As We Walk
The sky will cover us tonight.
The town crackles beneath our feet
for your eyes' unsettling tilt
and your luminosity in yellows and reds.
Next to you, my bones shine pure white
through the veil of my skin.
Buildings flail in...

The Forsaken Mailbox
Once upon a time there was a forsaken mailbox
that sat with its hood open
waiting for the infamous letter number two
The hours, days, weeks and months went by
where the mailman would deliver junk mail
but no letter...

This Is My Religion
A silver angel made of tin
Stands in a roadside window.
She sees a man asleep on a bench,
A bum.
A bum dreaming
The kind of dream
From which no man
Should be awakened
So he has to face
Another day in hell.
She's...

All Alone in a Lonelyland
I woke up in this place
Where everyone was not so
Different from me yet different none-the-less
But it didn’t seem to matter much
It’s not like I’m living the “dream”
And everyone else
