What a special time of year....
 I,Santa and my minion of elves
making a gazillion toys for all
the giddy girls and boys.

There was a day when I was a man
	going in the world doing manly things
I realized my fingers just wouldn't do
	in this world doing manly things

I did look so long and hard

I Hate Home Depot!

I hate Home Depot!
Just the sight of that
orange and white sign
makes my stomach turn.

However I know every
square inch of that store,
I’ve spent
thousands of hours there
as a paying customer.

I know what all is...

He waited 
Under fluorescent lighting
The kind that highlighted
His salt and pepper hair
It was almost 5:30
Quitting time

Today was his last day
The people in the office took him...

I loved you like the tide loves the shore—
a quiet pull, a force that cannot be resisted.
And now, you are leaving,
pulling the moonlight from my nights.

We sat by the ocean once,

As years have passed and I’ve amassed
More tools than I know I need,
I have to stress that I’m impressed with
The roles and goals they fulfill.

Sometimes I do, not often, but sometimes.

Like trees that seem to be murmuring in an unknown language 
somehow suggesting a meaning...

stubborn at the most
unfortunate moments
and quick with a
flabbergasted wit

he ambushes me from
the alleys in his mind
from behind
where four strikes
are uncommon
and frequently
commented upon

let's try to ignore the

The in-store music is country-slow,
the vibes twangy.
I pick through the tack and tinsel,
dig for rough diamonds.
Squeezing past other consumers,
sharp showers of oven scourers.
A toilet brush, a candy bar,
a plastic encrusted necklace –
pink or blue, all...

2 hanging blinds perfectly dusted and cleaned

1 red toolbox entirely organized by wrenches, hammers, and screwdrivers
