Long Sinuses Poems

Allegheny rail train has been rolling along since dawn.
I can hear the patchy sounds of the horn ushered by the wind.
Sounds at first are muffled but become distinct as the train gets closer.

Gulls hovering over...

Also says he can stop those bent on...

Flinging open the passenger door - I retreat
Deep behind my sinuses - I feel the sensation to weep
On and off all day and night - PTSD - I wanna cry
'Cause after 7.5 incredibly long and...

he squeezed gently
pinching the lever once again
and felt the intense power being let
loose travel up his arm …
whiffs of sulfur smoke acting like a
drug on his sinuses
eyes widening with a surge
of pure adrenaline -
loud concussions...

There is a vicious, ground-dwelling creature
Burrowing into my skull,
Maybe a mole,
It doesn’t matter.  What matters is
My head is cracked and pillaged.
Instead of gray matter, it’s full of snot
And mucus; it’s crevices drip,
And no matter...

The great depression of the twenties began, 
Despite Darren’s extended work  hours
The business’s revenue gradually began to decline 
As Alexandra continued to paint



Aside from her sudden bout of illness
Seeping up on her
It became dismissed
As...

We live opposite a huge farm,
I find living here such a charm,
The cows and the sheep,
Abundant, as the farmer does his 
His rounds in his Jeep
Makes living where we are,
A dream, but city life is...

Silence.
For over thirty years he longed for a night free from the snoring that her sinuses caused.
Foolishly, he thought he could sleep much better if the grating sound did not echo in his ears.
Now he...

Sun,
Awakening,
Remembering, sex, sounds, Miles in the Sky,
Jaegermeister, O, bad, when, warm, why?

‘Tis apres ski! o me, o my, not for these hot antipodae.
No more, forever. Now, just, the
Surf
And I.

Thundering,
Thud-thudding,
Slow,
On the beach.

Serendip morning, perfect,
Palm-fronded, dawning, blue...

Winter began with a fall of snow;
The length of my days were shortened by darkness.
Darkness, like snow, never ends.
Pupils accustomed to the light of autumn
Dilate, then constrict.

I fell helpless into a pile of snow;
Helpless because...

I've been going back
in time for just a bit
Thinking back on my life
those times I had no wit
Being in the eighth grade
I remember all so well
The time I was given a dare
ten minutes before the...

There's a gift that man has, that's uniquely our own,
not in fishes, nor birds, nor beasts that do roam.
And we doubt that in Heaven, where matter is not,
that Angels can touch, this wet little dot.

A nine - to - five 
bartending job - 
the life, death,

artist. 

Forced 
to sweep 
cracked tile, 
and vacuum 
puke stained

until enough 
people notice 
him. 

False faith,...

Farewell, au revoir, goodbye, convivial summer. 
The day is late now, and the breeze is warmer. 
A vacant ocean-side barricaded motel. 
Wild geese are soon flying in lines as well.

Vacation homes drop their literate barricades. 
This rich sweeping green...

Not even an answer

Not even an Answer,
Just one single hard lesson.
One that must have been watching me all day long. 
Waiting, there in the shadows
While I picked up rocks in the corrals,
or maybe when I...

anger is the flush that clogs that 
fills the pretty pretty air with smog- 
it isn't fair but it's over there, watching, 
peering, lurking, jerking 
off & leaving 
nasty sticky stains- 
don't strain yourself, it...

To the unknown sports car driver
Who caused us so much fright
May the roads be full of traffic
When you attempt to turn right.
May you spend many hours
Constantly being stuck
Behind a series of slow moving
Wide loaded trucks

     Find something to be glad about

Have you ever personally wondered
If you're playing with a totally full deck?
It may be that you just think you're normal
And you really don't even suspect

You're certain it's got to be everyone else
That's just a little...

The hillsides are covered
with miles of Scotch Broom.
Pretty to see
but an allergy doom.

This transplanted weed
should not be here.
It causes allergy symptoms
most of which are severe.

Some one once decided
Broom belonged in the garden.
That person's now reviled
