How's your old ball-point pen
Is it still flowing through to the end
Does it stay rigid
Or is it a floppy digit
Heard there's a new version that bends...

Step right up unto the latest craze
Doe bank baby trying to escape 
Big buck's double digit haze ?
A phenom horned in sound
Sweeping across its banks
Her plastic hobo clowns....

a digit shifts
conjuring hope
sans our resolve
so we raise a toast
to the powers that be
without any clarity
on what we seek
for we know not
who we are

Trump Tried To Fidget

Around Trump always tried to fidget,
While he even made fun of a midget;
Took a gamble;
Destroyed preamble;
Intelligence seemed to be single digit.

         It's 
     that digit
      the one
     up softly
 'gainst her lips
 with the sound
      passing
 each It's sides

       "shhh"

   And behind
         It's

Little Five
is
one plus four.
Little Five 
is
The letter E.
Little Five
is
The month of May.
Little Five
is 
The Thursday.
Little Five
is
the touch
in sweet dreams.
Little Five
is the digit
from 2005....

Number Four

It takes one to know one, I'm sure you'd agree
As it takes two to tango on a grand ballroom floor
I've heard it's a crowd when the digit hits three
So you really must go now, as your number is four!

A hammer is just a wonderful tool
That can be used by an expert or a fool
For an object's construction
or for its destruction
But with it,
should the hammer strike a digit,
it would be cursed with a shout
by even those who are morally stout....

Tell me you 8 me,
Please, don't you d-9.
Tell me to 1- der away,
That you're 2 bad for me.
Tell me of your 5 star escapades
With your Slay Queen 6-ters.
Tell me you're a 3-ickster
And your heart isn't meant 4 love.
Tell me, so I'd 0 my mind....

TALE OF A TAIL


Had a cat, name was Brigitte,
Always with her tail would fidget:
How to stop her moving digit?
Tie it? Hitch it? Maybe stitch it?
Maybe someday lock-in-fridge  it?
Or in frozen river pitch it?
Then Brigitte’s frigid digit’s rigid....

Five fingers on a hand that I have touched
Each digit loved; 
hint soft lust,
by my
hand...

Eyes
wanted,
but hands took
those small full lips
and guided them to a mouth so hungry

Will
keep strength
I cannot
hide my sad need
Of someone that is already taken......

  I took her by her fine
       callused hand

I lead her to the stream
    fifty yards below

     I undressed her
 and not with my eyes

     with each digit

  Her gestured poise
  I wanted intensely

  I did beseech her
              to
           bathe...

Beneath the bright, white, flight of the water
finger-bones stir mud.
Each digit a buried metaphor
for lovers that had once written
on clear skies.
There in the turgid dark
they create words from shadows,
dark slow swirls, an arcane scrolling
only dead-fish may interpret....

How could Bridget
Watching A midget
On one hand denied a digit
Continue to fidget?

Why would A paranoid,
Last year, with a fibroid,
Often getting her annoyed,
Now turn schizoid?

When do angles become trapezoid
And mind of soundness void?

How, why and when?
For I want Bridget ‘Now’
Taken back to ‘Then’…
Medically, right now?...

Gloria, Gloria,
don’t mean to annoy ya;
you seem a voluptuous lass.
Glad that I met ya,
look up ‘metanoia’,
And so thanks, but that’s a hard pass.

Homeless

Tears sizzle-n-swelter
From the Arizona sun
While Mercedes, Bentleys,
And Porches proceed …
Homeless can’t … move on. 

Triple digit asphalt
Skin turns a crusty shade
Passer “buyers” ignore strife
Pass judgement everyday.  

Issues on the street
Momma holds a sign and prays
“Please,” she begs for Mercy,
“Send an Angel my way.”...

The little hand, the big hand,
The numbers all o'clock;
The way the seconds move 
With every tick and every tock.

Explaining the positions
Showing 30 on its face,
A knowledge that no digit-flashing
Timepiece can replace.

I guess it's as old-fashioned
As when teaching kids to spell,
But there's value in those lessons,
Least as far as I can tell....

Triple digit
temperatures
bake the
atmosphere while
wet blanket
humidity
embraces all
who venture out
on a Florida 
summer's day.
A refreshing
dip in a cold
creek, lake or pool,
with a tall
glass of iced 
tea or lemonade,
(perhaps even 
 a nice cold beer)
to quench a 
powerful thirst,
are treats to 
be savored.
This is
summer.

What’s in a number besides it being the mathematical object used to count, the number that comes after three but before five a sequence of numbers most commonly starting with one and ending with ten. What’s in a number the difference between a number and a digit a single numerical symbol or a string of one or more digits. Is it a even or a odd number. Ask yourself what’s in a number?...
