Like waiting...

Rapacious  Itch 


It felt things coming, 
The undeniable bottom feeder reality, 
Where thought had no credulity, 
Where irrational emoting ruled, 
Void of mind’s prep,

Such remained 
This well-rehearsed and...

I love it when Lisa and I take our show out and, on the road,
like this twilight helicopter flight, from New Haven to LaGuardia.
I’m so excited about tonight, it’s possible that I might implode.

The rotor...

PARK AVENUE

I came across Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida
many years ago, where I flew for my work to examine
a company for following its claims handling process,
procedures and the insurance laws and regulations.

While having lunch...

The jazz men of Grand Central Terminal
Gathered on the dirty edge of Park Avenue
Wearing the green-white guayaberas and some honeymoon sombreros.

Because an old scholar...

My favorite President is yet to be
  He may well not go down in history
For he'll do what really needs to be done

We have sprinted on our paws
from silver fields into the ashen corridors
of Office-Max
How early we set our alarms, how grown up,
who don the coats of men,
despite the heat,
who drive on four wheels down Park Avenue
pasts...

Mike drop!

Just because the thought you have ran into overtime
You don't have to play as if rhymes do not rhyme
Thrill without skills
Techniques with out beats
Beds pulled down access with out sheets
Beat hold up repeats
Devastated as...

A day once clear and warm has changed; 
The sky is dark.
Beneath the storm, my friend and I;
We glide down Park.
Through half bare trees, a cold wind blows,
Dead leaves flit by.
We ride bikes down Park...

Looking for a newer and brighter day.
He strolls alongside Park Avenue
Then he see’s something he would never...

Seeing you holding the door for her
I hardly knew you.
I barely recognized your face
behind its new expressions.
I had to stop and turn
to see you close the open door,
then I stood there in the street
as past...

The fire raged, no place to dwell, a busy street, a place of hell..
What loss of life we do not know, no place to live, no place to go..
What place be next, where people die,...

Bigwigs like to breakfast
With compadres of their ilk.
They like imbibing power
With their coffee, tea or milk.

The usual location
Where they meet and break their bread
Plans to close for renovations,
So what will they do instead?

A restaurant’s been...

five chameleon sisters with talents none shared
dancing the day awake in a Nebraskan hay field
one was a dancer, dreaming of Broadway and Park Avenue
one was a soothsayer, seeing three of their futures.
Terrified because she could...
