I Should Have Been a Beat Poet
I should have been a Beat Poet

I should have been a Beat Poet
Like Ginsberg or Ferlinghetti
They were good but not that great
Oh, maybe I'm being petty.

I could have driven across the States
Like Cassady and Kerouac
But...

You marketing types love us.
Blue all over, fear of nothing a man can throw,
Quick to bow down when the boss come by...
not the one paying me...., 
but the one who rules my roost. 

Day breaks...

Premium Member My Best Friend
He was born in the bathroom
One tiny white ball of cotton
Baby breath like a perfume
Little black nose like a button

Swiftly, he was a growing puppy
Blundering limbs making haste
Almost the way of a young yuppie
Leaving his...

This very morning when I awoke, I thought someone had played a joke. I checked the pot, it was bone dry. I checked the pantry and started to cry - no coffee!

So, I got dressed...

60's Child

I found myself at the tail end of childhood then,
Coming out of its long sunny sleep;
The days and nights of pleasures, terrors and wonders
Strung together to make up the pitted landscape
Of being small
Still filled...

On the north side of Brisbane lives a man who does no wrong, 
He pongs a bit, he's grubby and his beard and hair are long, 
He sits upon the footpath mid plastic...

Premium Member Corporate Speak
When the president said ‘misunderestimated’
Everybody wondered, ‘was he ever educated’
But I forgive him that, for the thing that makes me ‘EEK!’
Is the mad proliferation of Corporation Speak…

For thirteen years a desk paid my rent
As I...

Silent But Deadly

Sniper hid vapors
tend to always bullet strike
with stealth air carrier accuracy

Silent noxious assault
pierced the nostrils
with oxy painful inhalation,
of the non-ventilated third degree 

Deadly gaseous arrows
hit the overcrowded banquet room target;
and killed a-many healthy appetites,
with an...

As My Town Goes Sinking

My town goes sinking,sinking
Beneath a sea of shopping malls
As I sit and ponder, drinking
Staring into merchandise stalls.

Each mall boasts two dozen stores for shoes,
Providing fashion for Yuppie feet,
While all I can...

Truth
Stifle not time tested, glowing fires
Must you take heel, run pronto!
Lt. Mira holding the poisoned cup to sip.
Poker face, decks cleared for the volley,
From a three decker broadside.
A next please.

A Kid Among Age-Comers
He's up and coming, yuppie humming, 
Down and puppy low.
He's high and drying, dancefloor-flying,
Under miles of snow.
We love him, we love him, we want him to be fine,
Want him hanging from his legs inside the...

It's All the Rage
Too much PC too
Many interpretations
Nothing but problems

I'm with stupid, but...
There are no stupid people
There is ignorance

Rage against culture
Not stupid just misguided
And misdirected

As Spock might say,
"Logic dictates - blending
Ensures survival"

We're all immigrants
And we are Americans
Americans first

The Apple of my Eye
**Quintuple Acrostic**

Tempting me to steal her
Heart. I yearn for her much, yet not
Enough.

Ample 
Positives, no glaring weaknesses.
Peaceful, charming, witty. I'm 
Lusting for her
Embrace.

Olive skin, long toned
Fluorescent legs.

Mischievous with much influence I
Yearn...
