Short Not Too Distant Future Poems

My better other half 

Who I call Secsee

Today did say to me 

If you wish to continue our sexual liaison's 

Or want me to have sex with you ever again

The next time you take or need a Pish 

Then you better remember to leave the toilet seat down

Or the only thing you will be making love to in the not to distant future

Is those dodge sites you keep wiping from your computer

And just them you will be resigned to history

Do you get me ?...

To honor my friend who passed away on 8/16 
and her daughters who took such good care of her.
Rest in peace, my friend, in the arms of Jesus

the ebb and flow, fluidity
of blood
through arteries and veins
stopped

still, the shell
they take

we’ve been so busy
arms like lead

awake
to the silence

the break,
now that we have it
is a crying-shame

the loft   the dog
      sat upon

memories
and his not too distant future

nor ours

8/16/2022...

A lone voice echoes in the hear of the valley
     Did you hear it? 
     Are you willing to work for peace? 
Tall trees surround the green carpet which is the valley 
a stream meanders through the valley 
Before the leaves turn crimson and gold
Watch the birds flying over the valley 
Breathe in the pure air 
Take time to realize inner peace
   and do not heed angry words of war  
    A lone voice
calls out for peace
Swords will be beaten into ploughshares 
   in the not - too - distant future...
