I'm standing here staring in the mirror.
I can't stand the image portrayed.
A figure wrapped in a vest of flesh, 
but empty it is, 
living without an organ in its chest.
I am soulless like roadkill.
Must be,...

Take a pot, heat it hot.
Scratch it dry.
Scrape up any brown, dry left-over bits.
Check the sides as well.
Sniff the seance of conjured smells.
Imbibe the well-up of wafting aromas.
OK, now, dry-run done, you've begun.

Note: To cook...

He sits alone beneath the stars
Keeping warm by a trash can fire
His clothes are old and full of holes
His home an old cardboard box and blanket

Everyday for him it is the same
He holds a cardboard...

I was a record producer and a star-maker.
The call came in on a Tuesday, a deal-breaker.
The wife cannot come, but can you sign a calf?
I thought I had heard him wrong, but not by half.

Basketball games on 25 inch screens, eat a snack while I watch my favorite teams.

At times I'm trapped in 
fantasies
Trying to choose a righteous 
path
Turning my head,

Cars, homes, and money 
It hurts to live in poverty
Trying to imagine better

Fresh quadruplets screwed on, 
One for each corner

At first, the tires friction if sharp
Brighter than a sun in July
Gas on the same roads we took yesterday

The hills stay the...
