Long Mobile home Poems

Everything the sun touches Is his domain.
The broken pickup trucks, 
Trailers to broken to be habitable,
Beer cans that rustles in the wind, like tumbleweeds in the desert
The Diner, My mother works at to support her...

We dream of rain... 
And the mystery of the gun
We bold hold and driven apart 
Kill the king when lovers depart
We dream of rain and the dark arts
Upon an endless sea, across an infinite A’merican...

can't even fart anymore
without kicking up a hurricane
halfway around the Earth
according to reports this has occurred
at a great loss of life and mind

the dominoes began to rumble
and poor Flash who was

I think of my brother's wedding at Pioneer Village many happy years ago
My brother Tom wore a handsome tuxedo and  his wife wore a beautiful bridal white gown.

They arrived in an elegant carriage,

Calamities…
assaulted by the Memorial Day tsunami
drowned victims & floating cars--
appendix detonates during the Season of Hell
haplessly hospitalized in the UT-Austin medical zoo

Delusion of progress…
recovering in the mobile home 
plodding through texts of 
postmodern pointlessness--
overcome with...

Prostrated to such vastness,
unable to speak
I turned away
leaving fear standing
where I had come,
and the immense river entered
into those boundaries I had raised.

I watched the pale colors
wash away and disappear
as the water moved and swelled
and flooded...

They’re there for their friends


They’re there to be seen,
Their thoughts are their own.
Their partner is their only saviour,
They’re currently living in their mobile home.


They’re trailer trash, in their home over there,
They love their partner, for...

When we retired we were so inspired:
To live free and rest from our labors.
This mobile home park has lived up to the mark,
But oh, goodness gracious, the neighbors.

Jay the old peeper can snoop through the...

And I feel no longer alone when I go about my life
For he is with me now for all the world to see.

I had an appointment...

Foster children move from place to place,
with memories that walk the night alone.
Nor is the love their's that they must embrace,
Yet most survive with a paculiar grace.
Even though their hearts turn to stone
as they move...

Down that back road 
that heads out of town
across the railroad tracks
past the water treatment plant

in a mobile home park 
where howling dogs are
hooked with logging chains
to blue plastic
55 gallon drums

I see your eight kids...

Humpty Dumpty had no yolk
As oft implied to younger folk.
This hatched idea in oviform
Should never have become the norm.
And so, before it is too late
I mean to set the record straight.

For Humpty was a tortoise...

Hey,Miss cute little jumping spider;
you are a skilled under leaf hider.
Wow!The crown like eight tiny eyes!

Hello, Mr. Handsome Hawk moth caterpillar;
the color spots on your body glitter.

When I was a child, little 
Like the kitten and puppy
Who lean on their grownup elders
For food, shelter and affection 
I lived in a trailer 
Called a mobile home
By some who don’t know
It’s just a...

Birds shed their feathers;
Trees, they change with the weather.
But I have seen heaven; I have seen hell.
Felt all of life slowly, stuck in my shell.

Hundred years, I have spent in my mobile home,
Made friends saw...

Bubble up from the cauldrons huddled
I scoot taglines that bag dimes
On a new Federal currency
Cannibus merchants will see

We come petticoats 
From the revolution coast to coast
Riddling on a fiddle
Daring to bunk tea in the captains...

An animal family was unique
all had wax in their ears
they got frequent visitors
the visitors were honey bees
they wanted to build honey combs
in a safe mobile home
the animal family was most suitable
all saw the opportunity for...

O when I am safe in my mobile home, 

I tread on the pride of visible gnome; 

Over sapien’s head I walk aloft, 

With tender feet treading so soft, 

To habit in, and it more...

Here's to dying, rueful eyes,
beautiful but made to cry;
to a mouth too choked to sing, 
and ears that can't hear anything.

Here's to needles 'neath the skin,
burning just to be on him;
to the blood that swells...

There was a guy with a wandering eye
He walked around town with a big bow tie
             A colorful wardrobe
