That baby drac queen moon face turning

Just had shrimp and grits
Beside scrambled eggs whipped up with a whisk

Been a long time since

Poets write poetry; I order pizza
Watch Jeopardy every evening
Close my emails with "Sincerely"
Instead of my own fancy phrase
Wear solid colors--no artsy-fartsy scarf
To set me apart from a regular person

I'm just like a regular person
Spending my...

Freaking me out

One day as I looked in the mirror
I saw that a third eye had appeared
In the middle of my face.
It was red, it was huge.
I was horrified by its proportions.

embrace your stains
those blots of evidence 
physical prints of memorable or
not-so-memorable times
still footprints of 
life

Awoke at 6:37 after hitting snooze
Thirty seven times with 
Thirty seven aches and pains
To thirty seven worn out bones
And as I washed my face for
Thirty seven seconds of cold water
I lifted my head to the...

Things seem fine, real grand

You're married; so are they
You all work for your pay

Professionals, not lowly clerks  

Then you notice their kids. They're strange,...

Sometimes life has no rhythm or rhyme.

When I've got lots of money I have no time.

Stop
Sign
Red light Green light
Stop running by the pool
Stop annoying your siblings
Stop picking your nose
Stop Drop and Roll
Stop talking in class
Stop making out behind the gym
Stop mashing your zits
Stop going so fast
Stop staying out so late
Stop!

The wrath of God doesn’t have to be
the size of a hurricane
nor a major flood or forest fire
