The Last One Picked
My palms would sweat. I’d get physically sick.
Why was I always the last one they’d pick?
There were times I would not be selected at all,
for a physical game, I was pretty darn small.
I watched as...

See This Girl
See this girl in the painting, this skinny girl
working on a puzzle at the bottom of the stairs.
With big rimmed glasses and her plain brown hair,
she’s an ordinary girl, with nothing seeming special.
Now see this...

Nate Sestina's Sestina
Sometimes things don’t work out as planned
not that Nate planned it, such is basketball love
and strong are the threads of the basketball net.
He hooped all summer, sweating on outdoor court
before moving to school...

Tryouts starring musical prodigies
and/or an attendant conductor

divinely exhibited from Gaia's handiwork
heavenly invoking kapellmeister's magnificent nonchalant outlook
piquantly, quintessentially, repertoire sensately striking
unmatched vast wisdom yielding, zephyr air albeit creativity

Dead Man Walking'
Took my newspaper down to the cemetery last week,
Set up my soapbox and I commenced to speak.
I read to them of bombing overseas,
An article about the discovery of a new disease.
I read of a robbery...

Where I'M From
Where I’m From
I’m from tea parties and tutu’s,
From fingernail painting and Oreo cookies.
I’m from jumping on the trampoline,
And water sprinklers in the front yard.
I’m from summer days and sleepovers,
From zoo trips with momma,
And long car...

Root of a Sole
Like an eagle you’ve watched me grow,
Forested me with love since I knew how to crawl,
How can I forget the wings that protected me from cold?
Cuddling down my mortal sole,
Warming words of wisdom,
Penetrating my...

Disorganized Sports
When we were young, we'd freely roam
While supervision stayed at home.
We played the seasons' major sports
On vacant lots and playground courts.
No tryouts or permission slips.
No uniforms or coaching tips.
No judges, umpires, referees,
Or grownups whom we...

Take Me Out of Waiting On Ghetto's Dream
Laziness ascribe my tryouts to stream;
I keep struggling to swim, through poverty.
Take me out of waiting on ghetto's dream!
Waiting on turns, enrage hope's light agleam...
Shinning possibly of luck's entirety:
Laziness ascribe my tryouts to stream.
Yet hustling...

Wisdom
WISDOM
He had a thought,
He said a word,
He performed an act.
Looked back!
The word didn’t agree with
The thought,
Neither did the act with
The word.
He was perplexed!
He forgot the thought,
Erased the word,
Obliterated the act,
And
Started anew!...

School Dazed
Angels.
How many they asked
Could dance on the head of a pin?
I’m thinking
Why are they dancing
Don’t they have wings?
Rocks
Could God make one
So big He couldn’t lift it?
I’m thinking
Have you seen my book bag?
Martyrs
Nuff said.
I’m thinking
No one’s...
