lids war the endless pursuit
of oxygen dispelled by
the gulp of grounds and stirred cream

Hope is not a strategy,
wisdom not an end
Moment to moment we live the truth
—borrowing to lend
(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)
its began as a work tools
of bad news
worker singing the blues

Epigram #51:
PAY YOUR DUES
Learn to pay dues
Sparkle your cues
It's up to you
Leon Enriquez

Singapore
Thomas Hutchinson noted the saying
Most Indians used barter for paying
The message is spoken
Exchange for a token
Indians dislike this write
More years have gone by
Than years we were together.
It's the little things
That I recall, now and then;
Paying bills, morning tea, and . . .
So this time
I’ve spent
Living alone
Paying the rent
I’ve been dreaming
That you’re by
My side
Will you
Keep me
In suspense
Until I die
Supper waits-
Rusty chicken neck
and flashing drums
lack complement
of the roaring
imminence of
poetic bills,
paying with moisturised
beggar hands.
I went to Mass Saint Patrick Day
And overheard a woman say,
"You can't drink green beer
With the priest in here
Or we'll have the Devil to pay!"
Child
active, happy
growing, jumping, running
future, plans, hopes, expectations,
worrying, paying, scheming
discouraged, burdened
adult
after the pay check
you can bet
time for some fun
tho paying bills is the run
we all as friends
go you know TO THE DANCE FLOOR
party
EVERY WEEKEND
another deep breath
of suffocating air
passes the lump in my throat...
I offer a Kleenex
to the woman beside me
The soup has a shortage of ads
Let’s call for more saying egads!
While they interfere
With the reason we’re here
We'll learn about doodads and fads
Vacation
Beach. Jet skis.
Playing. Swimming. Skiing.
Relaxed, restful, stressful, tense.
Working, bill-paying, boring
Time-stealing, unfulfilling
Work
you have a tough road
no matter whats the goal
you must unload
don't fold
have mind to get
tho eyes may get wet
at times bad news
its call
PAYING DUES
White ice black ice
neither is nice
me falling twice
paying the price
living up north
winters not worth
second month always bad
seeing March I'll be glad
Me and my friends down from Ohio
Just paying them back for what I owe
A little salt and lime
Plus three shots at a time
Another drunk Cinco de Mayo
Paying hard
the money short
pockets empty
time aborts
A pound of flesh
bills remain
invoice closing
— sealed with pain
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
My barn is now full to the gills
With the sweet sounds of musical trills.
We’re making tin whistles
And writing epistles,
But it’s likely not paying the bills.
i tell all youth
here's the truth
don't be a fool
mothere or cool
she gives he best news
so before paying dues
like no other my sister and brother
LISTEN TO MOTHER
I stole from myself,
never paying me back,
rich in the spoils of war
Identity gone,
the body count total
—larcenous guilt to endure
(The New Room: March, 2021)
As birds in flight glide above
the breath of morning mist
I stand along the shoreline
paying tribute
to those lost
in the wrecks of time
on lake erie's waters
As a wee one I was obsessed with hockey
On frozen pond paying no mind to frozen bodies
We pretended
To be legends
Scoring the winning goal, kinda cocky
Many things to do but I do not
not because I’m not capable
because I do not want to
sorting and deep cleaning
vacuum the dust
washing dishes
bill paying
boring
stuff
Pow! the pale powder pumps power into
The pastor’s panicked pulse. Peeing his pants,
He pulls his parcel and pitter-patters
To the piss-pot, paying his penile penance.
