Just Walk Away

...From distance far she came;
From California she drove;
Notwithstanding the pain.

About halfway here, she stopped in
South Dakota, picking up a family of
special friends. Together they braved t...

Night Trucks’ Country

...They’re roaring by with lights aglow
Akin space rockets, to and fro
Unfailing captains on steroids
Between this Earth and asteroids

This is the blood that moves the trade
This is America, conv...

This Is Goodbye

...It's sad when the only light in your life is one that is held under an object. It stirs and creates a demon that can't wait to get into your veins,
  and one day without it makes you go crazy like y...

In Search of a Great White Butt Ox

...We embarked on an adventure
That was quite quixotic
A scientific dream quencher
Searching for exotics

We started where we thought made sense
Out on the sunning docks
Where perhaps there’d be ...

Jungle Jinks

...It was break time in the Jungle
The elephant took his chance
To ask the lady hippo
If she'd like to dance.
The Leo Lion Combo,
Sax drums guitar and bass,
Mightily played away
So music filled t...

Autumn's Bounty

...Autumn's bounty now waits in the fields.
Sowers and keepers of the crops are

Now replaced by energetic reapers.
Dry and ready for the combine;

Brown and ripe for the harvesting;
The corn to ...

Formula Racer

...He’s itching,
he’s twitching,
he’s ready to shop.
The big rigs
are rolling;
they’re making a stop.
He’s tracking,
WhatsApping,
he’s all in the know.
He’s topped off,
he’s loaded,
he’s read...

A Back Seat With a View

...Time to load up the family Dodge and hit the open road.
Our backs to California, the wheels rolling east towards the deep south. 
Arriving by plane wasn’t an option, the car was our only transp...

Those and Them

...Those, who work this country,
ride private planes and limousines
or other cars for hire.

Them, who make the country work,
drive big rigs and pick-up trucks
and actually perspire.

Those, on ...

Wondering Why Life Can'T Be Simple

...Wondering why life can't be simple,
I look forward and see hurdles,
I look back and see the start line,
Inches before I started.

Wondering why life can't be straight,
I look forward and see al...

Environmental Pollution

...The release of the naked sword of marine oil spills 
From the window and door of offshore platforms drilling rigs,
From the arena of natural oil sips to execute our living meals.

Petroleum hydro...

The Dope Man

...The dope man drives a car
9 miles long and 3 miles wide
Those are someone's daughters
who will have to pay for this ride

There is gold upon his fingers
rings jingle-jangle from his nose
Peopl...

Mega Dam

...Engine roars wrathy
It digs deeply with high rigs
A deer seers in it

Human primates him
A crowd excavator does
Huge power of pit

Water flows in mad
Forest is gotten rid of
No home for bio...

The Sandbar Cliff

...Been months since I've been fishin', underneath the starry skies,  
Been months since I've been fishin', underneath the starry skies,  
Next week I'll go for stripers, with me I'll bring some pie.

ants continue to terrorize nations
the ugly I have found to be beautiful

the gnarling tree trunk 
they believe in me

what I see - I am
