It was the summer of 1970, when Mr. Nixon was president.

Escaping Humanity
Feeling the desolation, of smothering air
Hemmed in by crowds; the obliqueness of fear
Throng of the city and no sight of the sun
Incessant noise and the desire to just run.
And I drive.
Arterial routes clogged by metal...

The Night That Lutie Mae Mcdaniel Sang the Blues
I was on my way to Nashville,
Planned to be a country star,
The Grand Old Opry was where I was meant to be.
I drove across the Mississippi,
Stopped in Memphis for the night,
And that's where fate stepped...

Eisenhower Postage Stamp

It was before the birth of email.
It was a real 'show and tell, and
It rings in my heart like a bell.

And better ways to communicate.

I think I’m doing everything right.
The three-hour drive only took four hours.
My postage stamp of beach is
staked out and blanketed.
Soda and Kool-Aid float in
tepid water in the cooler.
Beach towels, bathing suits,...

Eagle-Eye Girl
You marrow-deep in the bone-dry field,
sprawled like a wishbone snapped wrong-
the ground drinks your weight,
but won't swallow you whole.

a mother's touch turned phantom.
That house- small as a postage stamp,
licked,...

Sunday Drive
Sunday Drive
It was a Sunday drive,
High on the Kiamichi trail,
When an overlook was spied,
And out of the car we bailed.

On purple evening hills)
I looked down at the green valley,
Curls of evening...

The Hitler Stamp
What tale this stamp of time can tell
in silence of a world once held,
as captive by this forceful man,
with death intent to conquer lands.

Its worth would probably astound

Orphan
I want to walk into the
Hotel Cipriani in Venice
Cigarette holder dangling
Two sleek greyhounds on
Leashes, grey cape over
My shoulders, movie starlet
On my arm, tons of baggage
Stickers, everywhere famous
A postage stamp collection
Is this some macho desire?
Maybe...
