Cat 5
I saw a cat quartet within my dodgy dream,
Sorta started worryin' that I'd gone off the beam,
Really began to wonder if my mind was gettin' weak,
They had their own language that only they could speak.
While...

You Were Feeling Like a Kid

They’re a pair of jeans, and to the ground they fall,
They stay as long as you threw them,
Yet they could stand tall,
When they’re on you...

Forget Naught

So soon after supper, you’ve forgotten
Those ones you called your alter egos.
Said adieu and you did not stay o!

The one you met and greeted in clan,
During moon, storm, wind,...

Must Have Been Fate
In the trees
Small fields
Cloudy skies
A camo boy
Destined to be a man.
In the streets
Between buildings
Bright grey sky's
A suburban girl
Destined to escape.
Looking up they see the same
sun.
Looking up they see the same
moon.
Looking out...

Inside a '72 Econoline
Inside A ‘72 Econoline
This old green van has a musty smell to it,
Like a pair of sweaty rancid socks
Mixed with half-empty beer cans.
It’s a banged up thing, this ’72 Econoline.
Scratches and mysterious dents
Cover its...

Anomie
Should we invite the neighbors over for dinner?
Their politics so different from ours.
All the more reason. Combat anomie!
He's worried the town's losing population
but opposes immigration. I like immigrants
but hate passing people on my morning walk.

Middle of the night Caren is here.
She jumped out of bed, and she blew me a kiss.

As we share the same body.

Loneliness
I've been seeking to blend,
in with people and at least make a friend.
Most times I use my pen,
To try to get out of my lonely den.
So many times has loneliness pushed me over the brim,

On the Run
I shout out in the dark,
My trembling voice echoes in the silent distance,
Sounds of breaking twigs drew closer,
As chruching pressures on dry leaves expose me from underneath my feet,
I struggle to keep my ears closed...

Fallen
Fallen
I am adrift,
My soul is churning,
And the bloody mess of delicate petals in my palm,
Disintegrating, leaking to the floor,
Innocence squandered.
Who are you?
Someone that is trying to anchor me
Who are you?
A beacon in the night...

I can't think straight...ahhhh!
My heart is thumping with love-coated hate! Ahhhh...
The chirping pests get louder and more obnoxious than ever

The chattering twerps project their voices to the highest...

Here Lies She
Just see
How fearlessly
Sunshine is seated
On the gravestone
And the caring breeze
Whispering to the loneliness
So absolute
Beneath the tombstone
A paleolithic stone
A meaningless silence
Guarding utterly alone
The desiccating non-existence
Here lies she
Neither sad nor happy
Decaying gingerly
Enriching the earth
Are all doors...
