Manual for a Pallbearer

There is no manual
on how to become a pallbearer
you are chosen
you are just chosen 
you become the chosen on.

To be a proficient pallbearer
You need a sleepy stride
like somebody who's coming down from a high
You'll need a strong copper handled grip
because you don't want to let down the one
who's carried you for so long...
and you must

SURVIVAL MANUAL OF A SURVIVOR

Sleepless nights keep piling up.
Always in a foul mood,
I poison myself with nicotine, caffeine, ethanol, and cannabinoids.
I live like a hedonist with suicidal urges.
I won’t bequeath my body to science.
The wreck will be too battered by my twilight.
One life, one ride—no concessions, no compromise.
I'm on alert, constantly in crisis mode.
I sleep with the windows open,

The Manual Clunk

My typewriter
was not a good typewriter,
its keys were weighty,
you had to use brain muscle to work it,
nobody wanted it.

My son unpacked a home computer.
I stood by and watched
as all the electronics were laid out on the floor
and surgically knitted together.

I knew then
that I would be consistently out of touch,
and possibly would remain
stuck in an obsolete

Can You Guess My Name?

Can You Guess My Name? 
 
I was given to you with a manual, a guide so precise. 
I came with a expiration date, my time to suffice. 
The world welcomed me joyfully and gave me a name. 
Now I am dying, no longer the same. 
 
Unlike any entity on earth I know the

The Manual

Where was your manual for me.
The mandatory rehabilitation.
Ignorance is bliss and you had built up frustration. Aggravation.
Where was your patience.


Waiting for the other shoe to drop contemplating.
we needed a manual for the situation.
That’s all i’m saying.
On the other hand where was the contribution.
lost for words at the amusement.
The alternative resolution.

Where was your manual for me.

The cat instruction manual

Make one's self scarce when that cage
suddenly appears and before they
splash that sticky mess that to our
fur adheres..
Learn how to get attention when no
one seems to listen by increasing the
volume and stay persistent..
When offered unsavory courses
just let them sit and spoil,
until they make better choices or
refrigerate in foil..
Show appreciation from time to time
by rubbing on

A Manual for Lovers

     A brief manual for lovers I thought I'd write

       ~ "Never kiss if it doesn't feel right." ~

Loser Cries

Could you,Carson, imagine
That Ross gave me a margin,
Gap between us enlarging
With smiles into halls barging...
His words of encouragement
Ones streaked with disparagement,
As they show off management
And preach stricter engagement...

How should I really have felt:
By a pal beaten or belt?
Ross has his wins made 'A must'
And V tattooed on his bust,
Meaning,of course,I may rust
While after victory lust...

Life and Everything

I don't need to do
anything much
today.

Ate my breakfast
took my pills
and showered.

The bins go out
Tomorrow.
I don't have 
A cat.

The TV's pre-set to record;
I watch it anyway,
(A president to come
Or will he go?)

A mass of people swelter
In a too hot sun
Or huddle bleakly in the snow.
The riots will kick off after dark.

It goes along every day the

Memoir and Manual

Away from the lingering night,
Behind the curtains, I have dwelt,
Cut off from the radiant light,
Desperately, I searched for a way out,
Elements of hope were listless and frail,
Futile were my attendant efforts,
Gigantic were the gates that stood before me,
Helpless I was,
Irked by my inability,
Jagged road I have come through,
Kindness of friends has been a prop,
Listening to

No Manual

Memories on the wall
                             and in the hall,
yesterday's dreams faded
                 

Car With No Reverse - 1975 Chevy Monza 4 Speed Manual

I rolled like Caesar down the boulevard the day I came to town.
My triumph was impromptu and abrupt.
I parked my Chevy by the curbside on a gentle downhill slope
In hope there’d be no need for backing up.

From near the Devil’s Crossroads where I’d tempted fate
To the edge of Austin in the Lone Star State.

I walked

Acme Tire Factory

ACME TIRE FACTORY
The system was so slow to use and the boss was always on our back
Hurry hurry get your fingers out this job depends on you
I’ll fire your sorry arses if you go any damn slower!
My company and big fat profit depend on you lazy gets doing this job right
Don’t dawdle and stop gossiping

Give Me a Manual

If
Rubik's 
Cube was round
I'd still be lost.
Give me a manual that bares the code,
and I will work like crazy to succeed. . .

puzzles 
Rubik's Cube
or Rubik's Globe
require more skill than I can proffer, just
give me a manual that bares the code.

Life Manual

We all have been given this gift of life
But we don't know how to live
We forget to read the Life Manual
Today, this to you, I give

This Life Manual that I share
Is what I have experienced
It's not theory, it's practical
It's the way I have lived

Who are we? Why are we here?
This we were never taught
We live
