Sued for Outstanding Balance

...
We used to call it Pit City.
Section eight housing.
My mom called ahead—
I was sixteen and still scared
to ask for what I needed.

I was on work-study
at a clean family practice
just around...

Crushing on You

...In the hush of daydreams, I whisper your name,
Not love, I won’t claim, just a crush, it’s the game.
Yet in this soft heart, you’ve ignited a spark,
No one else makes my world light up from the da...

Mark Skip Stubbs

Better known to most as Skip,
Reunited with Clegg up in paradise now,
Best friends back joined at the hip.

From thrashing about on his motorbikes,
Revving the ars...

SPECIAL DAY WITH OUR SPECIAL CHILD

...
Zooming around the room in wheel chair-moves
our child greets us by his beeping toy’s cheer
allowing pets to bark and meow freely.

Gesturing to hush ...

hot days

...when it gets dark
it remains humid and warm
the stars are obscured
by a heavy haze
the trees are so still
as if two-dimensional

In My Neighbourhood

...
Sighs of susurration sunder the silence ~
The neem tree swaying in the wind 
An old lady yapping like a non-stop chatterbox
The roar of the road hero's motorcycle revving past
And a ra...

Beat Down, Burned Out

...My heart is a drum, it's beating fast
A rhythm of rage, a pulse that will last
It's pounding in my chest, it's burning my soul
I'm fueled by the fire, I'm in control

I'm a storm that's brewing,...

Tripping

...The bike rolls up mountains,
thunders forward on the revving edge
of orgasmic storms.

flying nowhere on a Harley,
like urgent sex,
is hard core
also the way a dandelio...

Revving Up Life

like a slide show, pictures
of my youth so long ago,

prosecco and wealth envy over lunch

on to a manicure and then hair
(y...

I Love the Smell of Gasoline

my senses set off with a match;
Instability ends in explosion,
the aroma lingers all over you;

My senses set off with a match
Revving up my engine hard

I Hear the Children Laughing

...I hear the children laughing as they go
Down the path to the waiting warm seat
Motor revving to keep warm in the snow
I hear the children laughing as they go
Brings memories, swell ti...

Sitting With Koans

...
"Sitting with Koans" 

Zazen sits zafu'd in the zendo
with the poetic monkey minds
echoing the sound of two hands clapping
producing sound bites bitten like Botticelli repr...

...It was a short drive,
Spring came and passed,
then Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

Five windows for this travelling vehicle
into each window a woman peers.

One once had the name of ‘love’,
