In the bright sunshine
the chilled wind
raised pimply goose bumps.

The capricious weather
fooled us again.

Act of Will

a bridge to burn
an act of will
a future turns
a soul to fill
a scrap of truth
a piece of me
a heart gets fooled
as you step free

Drooled java on a Starbucks deck
His net earnings grew
As fooled patrons threw
Dinero to pay for his check

That warranted public inspection
No one was fooled
Some ladies drooled
And promptly applied their affection.

A freight train loaded with pain

The lull of liberty has us fooled 
The rich and mighty sweep it all
And callused hands are rarely jewelled

Ruled By the Road

Ruled By the Road

There are those who may be fooled,
When we by road  have been ruled;
Road rage,
Never engage;
Always will win when we are dueled.

and living in a mere thought
of someone else's mind
who, for an instant,
dwelled upon the concept of humanity
and then gave it up as ridiculous.

Premium Member Bees

On a summer day so hot and sunny
I watched a bee in a hive make honey
And as I went to pass 
He stung me in the grass (fooled you, didn’t I)
And I said hey man, that isn’t funny
