The Difference In the Stories We Want To Tell
Ohh I could have sat with my heart 
--elevated with dribbled echoes-- 
ahhhhhh until it yet exhaled the tarnished seams 
capturing only the quiet current lapping
and soaking dirty steel embankment	
along the river’s edge beneath the...

What a democratic place to live
A place where our leaders are elected but in actuality they are really selected 
where the government by the people is not with and for the...

Audacity
My elementary school was a box full of broken crayons. 
You know, the kind that no one likes to use because they fit inside your hands like a hug that lasts three seconds too long....

Cracked
Cracked windshields,
cracked sidewalks,
broken hopes,
sad dreams,
hurry before the fire starts,
and your good friends leave you
and your enemies take you over,
hurry before people cry out
for the happiness you possess
they with suck you dry like a bone
and take...

Assuming we Survive
Bricks through windshields,
Darts through hanging pictures of me 
And cracks in the photos, framed on the shelf 
But they're not there physically
My trust makes a run for the hills 
As the rumors start to spill...

The Butterfly
From the day she emerged
from her cocoon and spread
her brightly colored wings,
her life was destined for heartache.

She went through every kind
of pain imaginable, abuse from
the harsh winds, loosing friends
and family members to those damn
windshields in...

A Mother's Pain
A single tear-drop trickles from her eyes…
as she looks for answers from the skies,
in the twinkling of an eye her baby girl dies,
without a chance to say goodbye.
A cry of pain, a wail of plea…
gave...

Big Blue Alien Food Farm
[Our perspective]
Blackness superimposed by glowing blue
Smearing white spiraling cloud icings
Appearing applied by a painter’s hand
Soon to stretch and then to transform
As eventually will happen with all belief systems

The curvature and reflection of oceans
Vast emerald forests...

Downtown Mission
Grand Hope Flower
CA Hospital over 
a century of healing
Construction din
all of downtown one 
enormous construction 
site with all its might 
peeling into daylight 

Executive traffic thinks 
it’s funny, whizzes as 
acorns drop onto 
windshields and...

Ever Watched a Bug - a Long Crawly Piece
Hovering in never ending circles,

Some crawling every which way across the ceiling,

Others in deliberate lock step across your floor,

Will they light on you or crawl up your leg?

They don't even know you yet want to...

The Christian Race
Paul said to press on forward
Towards the heavenly prize
For if we run the Christian race
We will come to realize
That in spite of the prisons in our lives
Keeping us in mental and physical chains
With faith in...

Endless, Confined
A sky of gray dances before me
Endless and angry
Blanketing this dirt road
In impenetrable fog

We're all lost, enthralled
With our delusions
Clinging to our convictions
Tightening the ropes around our necks

And everywhere I look
All of my friends are dying
Trapped...

His classmates are terrified of his out-of-control behaviors.
There is a perpetual glare on his face, he seems angry always.
He snarls and growls, sneers, and prowls around as...

Premium Member No More Me
The day it died
No-the day I died
It was beautiful
Sunlight gleaming
Across windshields
Casting shade on blacktop
Birds singing in trees
Leaves trembling in the breeze
Urban landscape
Somehow exotic
Both familiar
And somehow alien
I recall the foul stench of construction
The gentle laughter of...

In the rough, cold pavement they sleep 
Prone to the elements that drain them deep 
A harsh concrete jungle where they live 
Their lives subsist on people who give

They are children with adolescent minds 
Roaming...

Dripping  drops on bedroom pane
Starting to pour, pour
Into my memories

Cascading spray from his wheel
As a bell with...

My Life
The first time I was on a near death experience,
I was 25

Cold winter day
Lightly snowing
Icy roads
Frost coved windshields 
Car lights passing
And gone
Kids in the backseat
Music going loud
Talking on the phone
Screaming and crying 
Wild like a...
