The Call

For as long as I can remember, I have been phoning my mom. Even before leaving home when I was a teenager. Whenever I had good or bad news, it was just natural for...

A WISH FOR ALL FISH

Washed up on shores around the world
Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark, 
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd, 
The facts real and stark!
My Fairy God mother...

I think it’s nice that people send each other friendly cards, or simply call on birthdays…or for Christmas…or Thanksgiving.

Divorced

She was smiling

A small victory

Would he be contesting the house

No

The cars

No

Half the savings

No

You’re agreeing with everything

Yes

I must say, that is very generous of you

He smiled

She didn’t

You’re giving me everything, just like that

Do you have a...

May 1974

Why do you need to waste your time today
Writing an elegy no one will read?

Add the half-cent to the cent
And text to shivering text
For you were born to text
And save-

But let her be 
She’s...

It is very dark and cold, 
      How had I ended up on this desolate road?

Underrated free feel good win
Viewing and experiencing natural terrain
An amazing tranquilliser for the brain
Moving your shoulders up and down
Easy first step to happy town

Married to 'Life!'

Hey, I'm married to 'Life,' she's a wonderful wife,
Most adventures? Enjoyable drama!
Sure, we go up and down, (psst! she's wannabe clown),
Our connection is far more than comma!

Though you may think me coarse, that...

Looking back helplessly 
at every foible like Epimetheus. 
Born like a weed in the steamy morning,
I was an aimless crude creature spinning
flamboyant cobwebs like a confident fool.
I slathered prismatic patterns, grinning like a jester. 
Then,...

Seemed too shy-

To articulate

In flash,

 

She squealed

Beyond phoning:

The business between us-

Is agonizing,

 

Search for bona fide,

A suitable beloved-

"Pour tous les jours"

 

Hang around!

Do not kill the whole toy.

Regarding these words

I will answer:

 

“Long time ago,

To all the lonely people, I must relate

My heart is heavy, because of your fate

I, too, much like you, held that emptiness for a few

But as time wore on, the answer I knew


The story is...

Hello, Pigeon, How Are You Today?

Know that he is playing some financial game
And he intends to offer you a chance to invest
One that offers...

It took fifty-seven paces to the end of the track
But for some strange reason, only fifty-six back.
I tried it again, for something to do
While constantly phoning for breakdown rescue.

The ants were enormous, the grasshoppers blue

On the road to Life

There is no desire, to raise the ire, of this boarder guard,
Only a desire to raise her gates – to era boarder for this bard.

Behind every door, you'll find a window
But what you find might not come so simple...
Sudden surprises, split second mistakes
Who's to know what hearts will break
Farfetched ideas, practical jokes
Make-believe, a life ending hoax
Constant moaning, tax collectors...

I remember fun like I've woken from a dream
Talking utter nonsense, riffing on a theme
Dancing with the dog and phoning up a friend
Not dragged down by disapproval about to descend
I know all the things are...
