Winter, 1948
WINTER, 1948 [40 Saxton Street]
for W.W
The winter nights that pass now
are so unlike the winter nights
that passed before, that I often
struggle back in those suspended moments
when sleep grapples for a hold,
to once again hear the...

Courtesy Severely Receding Hair Line
Courtesy severely receding hair line...,
yours truly enveloped within morose mood
I (Samson incarnate)
frankly experience zapped strength,
hence sulk and pine for salad days of youth
when abundant golden locks adorned me noggin.
Now in doddering dotage scant wisps...

No Longer In Possession
I was an active and happy person, whose sole hobby was collecting treasures,
As night collects vast amounts of silver, with its precious moonlight measures.
I loved to amass unusual items, like first edition books or movie...

Lampo the Traveling Dog
Lampo
At the train station in Campiglia
Within sight of Elba Island
Stands the statue of a mongrel
A mix of a something Highland
The statue shows Lampo just sitting
His right paw aloft as if to shake
And facing the train...

Edith's Hefty Handbag
Edith had been suffering from shoulder pain
She'd developed a stoop and only her left shoulder would sag
When she went to see her doctor
He put all the blame on her weighty handbag
One afternoon she had time...

Midway Psalm
The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown,
Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee
In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town
Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me.
Neon stuttered sermons: "Try Your...

Door Post Poem - Megprofits
Inter connected already my friend
Submitting to peer pressure and
Responding to the Fathers Sins, who
Followed the rules and lived and died
As all the others had before
Watching children today, breathing our
Polluted atmosphere, chernoble, coal
And oil, gas...

Abby
For a friend with a big heart.
In a world that sometimes dims its light,
Abby shines with something bright
A gentleness that lifts the air,
A heart so wide, so strong, so rare.
She threads her kindness through each...

Cinnabon, California Pizza, Burger King
Let’s de-militarize the sea floor
So we can once again walk on the waters
Clear and still

An infant reaches for its mother
Looking at the information monitor
“Passenger… you have a message waiting...

So, what now, we bow down and deeply appreciate
a few random lines scribbled down in haste

Countdown To Clone Day, Rubbish Writing
Granules of recollection rub like salt
Flailing in the fog of seven years ago
Deafened by incessant frog cries
Vines dangling began attaching to each other
Drying river stagnated, slime slippery with algae
Vigorous tree growth stooped...

Cuckoo Dancers
Cuckoo Dancers
Discarded dusty beer bottle lying dormant on the tracks
Commuters await their carriage
Adorned in business like macks
Trees sway in gentle breeze
Capable of more tension,
Performing their shedding of leaves
Far too many to mention.
Pigeon jumps on pigeon
Mating...

Time To Let Go
Time To Let Go
A handful of paper and worn ticket stubs
So many downed trees and rainforest shrubs
Shredded and mashed into paper pulp
The waste o'er the world is enough to make one gulp
Each of these stubs...

Tywhoppity Bottoms
written in octaves
Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.
Tywhoppity’s rich bottom
is tidied up each autumn.
The ache and pain he stanches
to reap September fruits.
Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.
Re-staking his best...

I'M Gonna Always Love You
I’m gonna always love you
I’m gonna always be your friend
I’m gonna think ‘bout the times we kissed
In the pond or the tree or the willow mist
I’m gonna always love you…
You’re gonna always haunt me
You’re gonna...

The Old Church Revisited
The space is smaller
than what was measured by memory,
the stained glass windows much less
vibrant compared to what glowed
brightly in the light of back then.
The pews have been worn down
to bare wood...

Wrapped in a secret day of thoughts, I pondered
Wrapped in a secret day of thoughts, I pondered,
If I should overturn my soul, to wear it on my face as a garment.
Would it have unfolded with stitch and patch apparent,
Or perhaps its embodiment would...

I pleasure dove into my treasure trove
Of keepsakes and mementos
I snoop around here about every ten years
And am always amazed at how quickly the time goes
There are pictures and things, an old mood ring,
Ticket stubs...

I Live To Remember
My mind a thick fog, a thick fog so deep,
it threatens to submerge my thoughts.
I know not why, or how, or even who,
for the fog makes me it's puppet.
It stutters and now...

Theatre of the Absurd
THEATRE OF THE ABSURD
Puppets, all parts, perpetually working.
Tense strings, plucked, with novice fingers.
Ruby sawdust sparkles with the warm sun.
Puppets on strings, such silly things!
A play set nearby, a seesaw, those twins –
Hansel and Gretel, balancing...

A rhyme once written, filled with ecstasy and joy.
A girl once smitten, with a lovestruck boy.
Times spent in love, through the thick of it all.
Memories I dream of, but I’m waking from...
