It’s skin deep evident,
being black is an inherent crime

It doesn’t matter whether we
peacefully
stand our ground,
or be siren subservient — 
Hands in the air, 
knees bent

We get shot seven times,
by a six-shooter

In the back of our...

Nutty grandpa president
is talking crazy uncle Donald again
His little Chucky thumbs
is tapping epithet tweet nonsense
Batty grandpa’s been 
grumpily sucking 
on the hate hot sauce bottle
stashed in his KKK closet
Now he’s sporting a Commander-in-Chief cap,
dressed in...

“Peach”



What have I done,
To deserve this peach?
The Lord only knows,
How many they’ll reach.


You know the media,
And how they preach.
Abuse of their right,
To Freedom of Speech.


My name is Donald Trump,
And I’m here to say,
Watch how the...

Skinny girls go back to school
Waiters wait in process lines
Tears fall faster
I want to start smoking
It’s getting bad
I will slice myself
I will rip me apart
And fall
The bag I am holding is none 
Of your business....

sausages mash and peas

Slowly climb the leaning tree and learn about leaves
Count them
Count the corners
The points
The colours
And when you have completed this climb back down but quickly this time
For this is a process of professionalism...

The family had just moved into an old castle in Scotland; 
mother, father and their only daughter, Emmie, that they loved so deeply. 
Emmie was only 12 years old, and so innocent and beautiful.

The bra strap drops,

it clings to my shoulder.

Each inhalation makes the fabric vibrate. 

My hair drips water on my chest.

It penetrates the skin and within.

Me sitting on the edge of the bath tub, 

pondering, 

wondering,...

ONE word,
Two people,
Multiple Meanings.
Love.
The eyes to one’s heart open and shut,
Opening to the wrong person leaves a slice, a cut.
Making the roller coaster of life reality,
As the days linger it’s harder to trust someone besides...

I wear a Baja Rosa t-shirt with a huge sun on it and look into a mirror disguised 
as a bicycle tire reminding me to exercise
light a cigarette and ash my incense into the three...

It was great for a time
Sex and wine
Wine and sex
Then commitment and open and shut curtains.
Special delivery of child made the bond complete
Six months down the line
Breastfeeding was action watched from a distance
Intimacy was a...

Plenty of Room I Presume

For every breath which I will take
Some say a difference it does make
God sends Son again to save us all
Not wanting to disturb you or appall. 

Rules were for people in...

It’s really quite hard
I was dealt a bad hand
Nothing written in the cards
And I don’t have a plan

I couldn’t make this up
I couldn’t if I tried
I guess this is the point
That I’m at in my...

I watch pink-blue horizons  

as visions of your face 

fade in the sinking sun  

your footprints linger in the haze.  

 

Reflections of white satin seas 

open and shut walls

Like a time traveler that is lost or misplaced,

Fannie Strumpet is a flatulent floozy
With each wiggle her rump lets out a doozy
She blows out so much gas
Foul vapor from her a$$
It's asphyxiating and makes me woozy

Fannie lets 'em rip without hesitation
When I point...

My pet fish walks too slow
In fact it does not walk at all
It does not walk on water or walls
It will not skydive or mountain climb
I suspect it of criminal malfeasance
Fishy activity like swimming is...

Line of inquiry:

“betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat
simply present, head-heart linking
dwelling in time stretched blissful peace
awareness became unblinking

Animating Innate Vibrance

Open and shut, constant change
He’s on His throne, He’s off
My heartbeat says otherwise
My mortifying act of...

Two wiener dogs and their owners so proud
Approached each other right there on the green.
Then, the hounds commenced at yapping so loud.
But that wasn’t the dangdest thing I’d seen.

One of them’s front bit the other...

Our War Dogs are heroes but they're treated so bad
They're "in the doghouse" which really is sad.

The unequaled loyalty which they provide
When their handlers are wounded, they stay by their side.
