N.orth E.ast W.est S.outh


In the North the news brays
There’s no equality
And adds to the fray
Staged hostility

Don’t look to the NEWS
Look to...

Cruising for a bruising, I wreck my blue car.
It runs on regular with no gas gage, goes far.

She ran the yellow light at sixty. I went on green.
Her witness date, on same yellow light.

Things lost whose where and how seems history,
Much like hollow of a half hanging tooth,
Intangible, melted  as mystery,
Things that heart grieves— what once was vibrant youth,
Whose presence feel like black-hole-borne absence,
Old memories, meanderings of...

Recently my nutritionist – a health
freak if ever there was one – suggested
I eat raw vegetables like cabbage, kale, 
asparagus, brussel sprouts, cauliflower

When I was just 6 years old
I assumed everyone was my friend

But as I grew up
I faced the cruelty of younger children

The star gazed at the moon
On the night of all nights 
Knowing it did not belong to him 
Yet she glowed in his light 

He paled in the sun’s presence 
But it bothered her not...
