Long Wipeout Poems

Fight for your country. 
Fight for your freedom
Obey your Commander. 
Your Sergeant 
Squad leader. 
Obey. 
Drilled into you, over and over.
Do it again.
Like clockwork.
Day in day out, orders become second nature. Years go by
Groundhog day.

Collaboration with Marcello Eans

Why are you all bound and determined to destroy me?
What have I done to you that makes you hate me so much?
I’ve given you life and provided for you families.
You’ve done nothing...

I am a foolish jocker
And I only know to bring a smile on your face
But I still have a soft sensitive heart
Which can only cry in the silent dark

I am a foolish jocker
I only know...

PLAYING   BRIDGE

Wedenesday evening at  Ruth and Cliff’s
Remembering  suits and trumps, no trouble.
Eyes watching  cards, no buts or ifs
When  you’re  vulnerable, double,  redouble.

Ah,  at last it’s break...

Decked out and wearing slippers
Driveway ten miles high or so it seems
Icy and unrelenting
Why does my David think
we can make it through the moss?
We climb the cliffs or so it seems

Two sons, well a son...

WIPEOUT

You  cannot imagine us today as we were  -
Almost simply a vestigial memory;  but  once
We  were numberless and roamed the landscape freely,
Harmless and beautiful creatures, each graceful,
But most impressive in...

Me and memories

There I stand,
No, not amidst the chaos!!
But by the side of a coffee shop.
I hardly change even as years pass by;
Expressionless, lofty being, I say!

Sipping their coffee or tea
Some tiny creatures encircle me,
Perhaps...

Do you 
ever feel!?
Upside down
sideways
and bent
backwards?
Snowboarding
down slopes
of discontent
challenging
and 
dangerous
With
temperatures
on the 
flip side
of minus
 forty degrees
hellbent
 and
freezer burned 
pleading
Traversing
the 
powdery deeps
With 
a slope of
snow rattling
your 
bending knees
Freestyle 
jumping
turning atop 
breezes
while 
twisting inside
Thinking 
what a ride
While

Blowout, burnout, jagged shells left from the explosion
Crawl out from shelter in place; a confused, wobbly motion
Blank slate, wipeout, cauterized emotion
Tally and assess losses, repairs, mental status
Check for five senses, wiggle toes, adjust glasses
How did...
