Thank God For Me Stubbing My Toe
How do you know what you know?
You know by stubbing your toe
Induction principle
Back to the future go
It’s epistemological
Is it all empirical?
Is it all observable?
I’m asking how
Atheist’s count
With numbers being abstractable
The induction rule
Is a Christian tool

The Greatest Nation of Them All
Little pebbles of broken glass, litter the streets, but the children run barefoot anyway.
Stubbing toes, contracting disease, playing with cigarette butts and discarded syringes.
The teens hide by the dumpsters, and quickly pump a vein.
A homeless...

Spring Sours
From within the frost frozen bare boarded shed
with its loosely hung zee braced door agape,
the spring light peeked.
Warming the woodsheds King pine planks,
toasting the ten penny nails,
popping the planks to a toe-stubbing height.
Door slamming dashes...

What Makes Me Angry Is
Stubbing my toe on the corner of the bed
Hitting my thumb with a hammer
Someone misquoting something I said
Can really fill me with anger
Paying through the nose for cable TV
Thousands of channels they say
Only to find...

Can You Hear That!?
My morning starts out pretty normal
Usually for the first minute or two
Aside from my husbands constant snoring
Who by the way, sounds like the public zoo
I’m the first to rise, fumbling to grab my...

The Quest(Ion) Remains
“Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer?
Because it feels so good when I stop”
Searching fulfillment in each written sentence
On route to becoming a great moral being
Voids of feeling should start with repentance
Relaying the...

Lerking Storm
Fast asleep in a reclining chair, woke from slumber, by crashing thunder
Suddenly the lights go out and the TV flickers in and out
Darkness comes about, silence of the TV seems to just shout
Dazed and confused,...

A Few of My Suckiest Things With Apologies To Julie Andrews
Stubbing my toeses and whiskers on women
Stepping on nettles and by a swarm of bees bitten
Bounded like hostages tied up with strings
These are a few of my suckiest things
White collared phonies and bills piled in...

Imprinted Self Message
Stubbing a toe hurts like hell
Count to ten or curse and yell
Never to learn, walking in bare feet
When suddenly brick pillar my foot did meet.
Limping, near crying I hobble indoors
My stupidity again put me in...

A Winter`s Tale
It was clearing up in the afternoon
fingers of sunlight lit up the olive grove
a slight mist and a bizarre story
I saw him the old man dressed
in a soil dark suit, with a...

Agony
Hitting your thumb with a hammer
Is liable to make you curse
But stubbing your unprotected toes
Is likely to make you swear even worse
You feel such a bloody idiot
For being so stupidly clumsy
As you moan and writhe...

One Night
It was a cold night,
I didn’t want to fight.
All through the day.
I was afraid to say
That I wasn’t feeling good.
Looking at all the food

Yes, it...

Its Own Chosen Parts
Sort of like
stubbing one's toe,
if you dare to love
a bruise can form~
a deep rosy shadow
in response to your

love burns

if you have such notion
exposing the heart to elements

where there is no direction
blinking eyes mean nothing here
things are the same opened or closed
one step after another,...

had shaken his hand and returned to their desks,
another as ancient pulled over his chair
to inquire of him who six months before
had been taken away
