I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence
The following crafted
approximately midway
into the administration
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping finds
him squarely poised to
nab the nomination as
Republican front runner
come the...

Absolute deafening silence
Absolute deafening silence...
during and after a moderate snowfall
today January 19th, 2024,
within Southeastern Pennsylvania
and elsewhere across the Eastern Seaboard,
whereby blanket of whiteness
muffles sounds of civilization.
I hate a spoiler alert
regarding weather forecasters prediction,
especially when meteorologist
wannabe spouse doth...

The Killing Field”
Ariana nodded, tremolo fingers,
and they ran across the killing field,
watching the steel-toed kite ascend—
a fleeting instant of triumph in the vacuum.
Josh scoffed as it dipped,
both caught in the pull of the abyss,

Your past, your romantic past, is a shadow. Like all towns, Port Angeles was a combination of rain and clouds, sun and mist, with a chamber of commerce, barrooms and boards of directors, the known...

Love Twice Tossed
We had been up, down and sideways with lonely nights and
solitary days. We had seen total darkness dispensed from our
fights. Our heads began believing our wrongs could not discover
our rights...

Sex and the British
They’re drawing the curtains in Dorking,
Lighting the candles and pouring the lotions.
Switching off TV’s and shelving resentments,
Checking on children asleep in the darkness,
Creeping up hallways like teenage lovers.
Stairs and hopes creaking...

Pavement of Repetition Part 1
Walking the path each day
introverted thoughts in
cased in my skull
a boneyard of ebbing
memories and thought-processes
back slightly hunched over
eyes to the ground
seeing earth, stone
cracks, grass, flowers
bird droppings, dog's as...

Framing Godless Humble Ideology
Atheistic beneficent credo,
dogmatically evokes fundamental
gnostic humanistic invocations,
joyously kickstarting literary
métier, native oeuvre
pulsating quintessentially,
rudimentary schema
traversing utilitarian vectors,
winsomely xing yore zen.

Elegiac Lyric
The Careful Dissemination of Funds
I hear their idle chatter and wish that sound was optional.
A box checked in a menu, a simple click and forget.
The rapid dilation of my pupils brings me back.
Back to hypnotic aisles of temptation and...

Send Mephistophelian Madman Back To Stone Age
Impossible mission, nonetheless
eschatological, diabolical, critical...
dire straits betokens armageddon.
Come Tuesday, November 3, 2020
mandatory voting obligation to oust
horrible malevolent commander in chief.
Spanish and English writing on border wall
bespeaks impending apocalyptic windfall
weapons of mass destruction concomitant ashfall
brinkmanship ticks...

Beware the Banning of Books and Speech
I’m not sure what’s happening in this country…sometimes I think it’s being overrun by fools…in some states they’re banning books…in my state, Florida, they’re banning talking about gender and sexuality in schools.

Adieu To Mild Winter 2019
This last day of February two thousand nineteen
Southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
unlikely to be inundated with heavy snowy scene
methinks buds will burst early issuing royal green
carpeting landscape, sans expert architects queen
"Mother Nature" commences to baptize spilling
purity,...

It could never contain these things inside,

Weakness pays a visit now and then to...

I Am Envious of the Sky Bird
It all began one afternoon
The ground was hot and the world seemed bounded
But up the sky the boastful sky bird glided gaily
Enjoying the boundless splendour of the universe
Huh! If only I had wings like that...

Recipe For Skullduggery
cravings, like niggling whispers,
flit on covered tables
skitter on the floorboards
shiver nerves like humming cables
racing up my backbone
trembling spinal pathways
as I dive for pantry's knob
in a glucose fired craze
tearing through the shelving
jumping for the flour
cracking eggs...

News From Home
She pulls the past together,
gathering weeds, twisting kelp,
squeezing minnows of memory
through shrinking nets.
My ex-wife phones
from a former home,
a village by the sea
now sinking
on a shelving shore.
"Brian the pub-crawler
took another tumble
he now gets rat-arsed on...

Self-Righteous Do-Gooders
Self-righteous do-gooders, so they believe, preaching the Word while minds they deceive,
Casting their ballots for racist, lying, cheats, shelving morality for them to be the lead,
Satisfied preying on the innocent and cleansing the impure, while...
