As Joe was biking down the side of the road
He ran across a chap with a dearth of driving skills.

The Pink Dress Mess
I'm eight years old, 
And I'm in a mess. 
We have not that much money, 
not even enough, to buy my sister a dress.

So think, think, think. What can I do? 
I can go door...

 When he said good-bye to eight
 On this date of June the second
 Perfect time to celebrate
 
 Picked wild flowers in the thicket
 Made a circular bouquet

Premium Member First Nation Cafe
She loved our First Nation Cafe
from the primal blessed moment
just before she first could not yet think
of this cooperatively-owned communal place.

As other than some sacred space
She has liturgically revisited
and faithfully communed each starlight night

As I took my initial sip of beer
in that dusky bar on that rainy 
night in Amsterdam,
I forgot about Van Gogh 
and the canals and tulips, 
and was right back in Smithtown.

The first beer I...

Carnival of Mirrors
Under a sun scorched sky,
I stood on the dust of your shores.
Before opening my eye,
to the wonder of your worlds.
Without perceiving the temple
I had entered to worship,
to your altar, I pedaled,
pleading case with trembled lip.

Saw a deer on Taxter Road leading a fawn.
I reached a field of the kids little League.
Waited for the train, too pumped for fatigue.

Giant blowing winds like slabs of butter.
Meltdown like frozen cubes of ice.

My Son's Birthday Memento
At 1-year-old, you received your first party
First birthday cake, gorgeous and fancy
My first ever speech to the crowd
Proud as a father, I avowed

At 2 years old, with chubby cheeks
Full of motion of hands and feet
Gathered...

Like seeing for the first time and not believing what you see

specifically the graven-image afternoon
like high place dungeon towers

Rose-Red Delusional Grandeur
poetically fractured retractions

scribbling braille,

 dipped in holy water's resolution,
compromising statements

Premium Member Animal
Animals in top hats,
Ride bicycles en road,
Spoked wheels and pedaled spats,
Round about, in ornamental spode. 

Animals in monocles,
Spectate in obeisance,
Cuffed by inked chronicle:
Renascence-linked complacence.

Animals in Model Ts,
Toot along en route,
To queue below burlesque marquee,
Bloating bruit...

All my life, from day one it seems,
owning a horse has consumed my dreams.

"scared"
"I'm getting off"
Still, my bike ride continued
everyday I cried and closed my eyes
I begged ardently
feeling father's hand, we went forward
"Dad, are you holding it?"
"Are you holding the bike well?"
in a large playground
there was father and...
