Upon Waking
“Upon Waking”
Slumber has its upsides
while the outside runs around

cacophonous
pecking at each other
and at the ground…
Elsewhere,
like dull background noise
through the fog of dream
the sound of the gamble...

When the earthquake hit and I just wanted to cover,
The ground nearly parted and there was no-one to chi,
I hit the deck for...

Riding On the Coattails of a Pebble
The universe revolves around patterns and numbers.
Like an insomniac knowing not the meaning of the word slumber.
To say it's a big place would be a gross understatement.
If it were a face we'd be living on...

Mistakes
(fact)
The one thing I miss I wish I knew we're they were
I made a big mistake for those were my treasures indeed.

To your young,...

It Never Came
The beautiful red wagons, windup toys and spinning tops, toy trucks, cars, tractors, and yo-yos. At the appropriate age, I usually received the
appropriate Christmas gift. The trains, the tricycles, the play guns with...

Dystonia
At first, I barely noticed your presence
all I saw of you was
a swift turn of the head
no one else noticed
but I did
Over time you became bolder
extrovert, out there
then, everyone noticed
when the spasmodic jerking...

Hiding the two bags of money in an old target shopping bag.
Walking with no witnesses as to which way I went.
It was all...

Sesame Balanja
Over a bridge
and past a bright green meadow
appeared a little squidge
an angry monstrous short little fellow
"Come, Come my Sesame Balanja,
Follow me to my CrossjaKanga!"
He jumped and he whelped
screaming such strange things
he motioned, and he dotioned,...

Take a knife to the strings that attach me
Pull out the bridge pins, strum me with drachmae

Maybe your role in the end was the devil's advocate

Looking high up in the sky
I stand still in my balcony

Filthy thoughts are all that fathom me
I am getting high with the air
Thinking of the darkness...

The bottles hang down like bats, perky nipples and...

Mind In the Box
Something's hiding under your bed
Inside your closet hides way your dread
Hidden messages stuck inside your head
Something ticking away your windup heart

Everything sweet has rotten away
Nothing keeping you up all day

Mighty Johnny
There was no joy in Fenway
With Damon at the plate.
Our lead was 1-0;
The game was getting late.
The Yankee star could win the game,
Short hair upon his head.
The windup and the pitch came in,
"Strike one," the...

Weebles Wobble
Weebles wobble
but they do fall down.
Once without windup whimsy weebles wobble writhing in wistful wiggly wattles,
they bubble, bobble, boggle, bottle and boondoggle coddles and dawdles;
a colossal ensemble debacle joggles and toggles the...
