Cruisin' the Drag
Sipping cherry limeade, driving in the car parade,
we're cruising in the Lone Star state.

was sitting up close to your date.
One hand on the wheel...

Fantasy
"Beyond lychgate lies future death" she says,
cucumbered eyes slid back under cauliflower sky,
brimming smithereens of harkening demons.
Been in saddle some time since torchlight began,
a child's silent castle ago. Chaos-times cut alleyways
through rose-lettered circles, reads trashy...

Bobby Bandwidth In Dogs Humping Act 2
both sides use conscience for a hook
it's a con artist's suitcase
fill your cup in the Ocean of Tears
there's enough of everything in there
toasters glowing blenders humming
dogs humping on lawns across the land
in a cloying oppressive...

The Base Is Broken
We have reached the base of the Idol
where the iron is now mixed with clay
a kingdom broken and fractured
its lack of strength in full display
There can never be any cohesion
of elements weak and debased

Descent and Ascent
On an as is where is basis, we fell—
down the elevator shaft of the day,
into the buzz of a fluorescent hum, the smell
of reheated takeout in cracked Styrofoam trays.
The descent began when the train doors...

Too Damn Old
I was here when television wasn’t…
Movies in color were still a new thing
Cars were mostly black
I was here when jet planes weren’t…
Telephones were bulky and hung from the wall
Most every town had a railroad track
I...

It was getting colder
Sun slowly
Easing
From the afternoon sky.
Taking off his glasses
He studied the front steps
How was he going to get a heavy dresser up there?

Bedlam Tits and Chinese Takeout

Jigsaw Puzzle
Friday evening flight,
A touch of urgency,
Changi Airport Terminal One.
Check-in smoothly,
Baggage and all,
A trip Down Under.
Three souls plus one,
Baby in tow plus three adults,
An outback escapade.
A commercial air flight,
Departs near eleven pm,
A journey far away from...

Disbelief 'N' Silence
It all started with the crisp green leaves
Transforming into all that gorgeous fall foliage
With the warm breeze, came
The blooms of sakura
Spring for sale
Then came the sudden rainstorms
Summertime sadness
And the thunderstorms
Lightenin
Burnin everything down
The final blow
Just all...

While the world is nipping at our heels
we can live off of love and enjoy the thrills

Early rising, just to grub her chickens;
Time is scant for getting all things done,
So, throughout the day her step...

One Is Not a Prime Number
One is not a prime number
But a singularity that stands alone
One and itself in the vast sea of
Numerical complexities
It stands alone, solemn
Edging close to the realm of nihility, of nothingness
Yet, all the same, an...
