Night Watchman
The flame in contest combats the chill of the night
I see an old man in remembrance of his youth
his words gaped in jest if only to shroud life’s plight
scars of countless carnal lies a hub of untruth.
In the brazier raindrops snarl, routine so trite.

Night Watchman
It's a couple of hours into the early morning.
A television station gives its viewers a warning:
The channel is signing off the air
to the tune of a rocket's red glare,
and bombs bursting in air.
It's time to turn off the TV, and grab my flashlight.
I must walk the area to see all is right.

An Unknown Alone
He works alone
in cavernous stockrooms,
or as a night watchman
guarding unwanted things.
He is never behind the counter.
He is the man
who has the social skills
to fill racks.
Occasionally he is found
as a clerical error,
still at work in a defunct depot
long since depleted
of function.
A yellowing Rolodex
may yet yield a contact number
like a mythical footprint.
Someone may need to call him,
but what shall we call him?...

Its the Little Ones That'Ll Get Ya
Don't worry about the daddy long legs
they look scary but they're pretty harmless
they mind their own business-stay in one place..
but the ones you do have to look out for are the little ones
the jumpers and the runners-they never stay in one place
some carry bad intentions -poison in their fangs
they'll not hesitate to hop in bed with you
run all over the face of your dream
make you silently scream
turn you into a
night watchman...

The Night Watchman
morning rescued him from the night,
he stood in the doorway of the fridge,
the bulb within sent forth a wan light
his wrinkled skin had the morbid tinge
of a graveyard caretaker's pallor,
pale as a crumpled paper plate;
the cold breath of the fridge cooling him,
he smiled, started looking for a beer
that he knew pretty well wasn't even there,
searched for a frozen ham he hoped
he had forgotten deep in the freezer,
wrapped in a crumpled paper plate....
