A trunkful of recyclables patiently awaits,
A trunkful of recyclables patiently awaits,
(and cries out long day's journey into night,
no...not for Eugene O'Neill),
but rather being distributed
in their respective bins at Wegmans
Under the Elms
Dressed up in our Sunday finery,

My Mothers Call
It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
The wind is blowing
The place is still
And my heart is chilled

But I could not remember...

~he Licks the News, To Taste Reality~
Alone these thoughts like annoying buzz,
zealously trample across minds agenda,
beguile what plans I had planned to play.
Yearning for release from ancient scab,
can I not sheath their crashing climax?
Xenon prayers list low and anaemic,
downtrodden by shoe-tied...

Her child, your honor, deserves mercy

The mother is a rich widow,
a community pillar many lean on
Charity is her closest companion
She has generous arms
that are always alms open
She has...

On the Catwalk
In numerous locales countrywide, they hold sway
Pirouetting at intervals like ballerinas from Bolshoi
Beauteous, feline and very feminine
Slender to the point of emaciation, not quite
Cultivating the undernourished look on a frugal diet
Decidedly austere for a longer...

Unspoken Implication Belied Bon Geste
(unsettled conscience beckons expunging)
Upon espying aesthetically pleasing lass
(considerably younger than me),
middle aged ma'am, or classy older woman
impetuousness overtakes rationality
courting acquaintanceship constituting
aforementioned type female
these premature ejaculations
blindside yours truly
upon comfort level
of unfamiliar lady recipient,

A Candle In My Heart
It’s the smell of smoke
It sends its first warning
When we least suspect
It’s always slow but focused
It surely always creates a false impression
Of being far away
When it’s right beside us or behind us
It’s soft; nothing near...

There Once Was a Man
There once was a man..
Who lived a bad life
He tried to be godly
And ended in strife.
For it wasn't his actions that made it so wrong
But that he knew deep down, he knew all along.
