The Game of Hockey 

By Government decree, lacrosse
Is Canada’s national sport,
But in the hearts and minds of Canadians,

He walks around town
bouncing
over size t-shirts
baggy jeans half way his butt
each day wearing a mysterious smile
today with this

Sparkling aqua waters as far as the eye can see
Gods and Goddesses frolic au naturel down under
Here’s where Heaven shines her light down on me

If you foolishly swim between...

I remember when I first saw her
She got off The Red Line.
I thought to myself
Damn this woman's fine.
Her long beautiful hair
Was flowing in the wind.
Tight fitting black dress
With a body built for sin.
Her smile hypnotized...

Sock not oval ball overhead
Slam not round ball with drumstick dead

and i know
that when nighttime comes
there will be 
another day
but i am afraid
that when daylight comes
there won’t be

am I just wasting all my time,
walking the same old thin red line,
I have lost my way again,
trusting in un-trusting friends,
they tell me just to sit around,
until my callings finally found,

**********************To Beautiful... Forever on my mind**************************


I awake to such pleasantry
her beautiful face once more
I get dressed, grab my keys

I try to think of anything
to relieve my mind of her

Our beloved armed forces
In the US - of - A,
Are resigned in full measure
To the prices they pay.

When they fall, most are given
Due honor and fame,
But a few get NO laurels,
No prestige or acclaim.

They not...

Millions and millions of bricks
Tons and tons of concrete
Lord only knows how many panes of glass
Granite, Marble, and cobblestone too
Build a city strong, steeped in history

The Adams, Otis, Hancock, and Revere
Tea parties, massacres and lanterns...

The weakest among us, it seeks and finds

Blackness occupied blackness.
Like it was the world.
Yet there was more.
