Horrific attributes 
Calamities all around 
Skid row broken dreams
Roughest atmosphere 
A distorted ambiance 
Hear the jeers of morbid souls...

Skid in shattering office windows
Ribboned lab coat flailing against sharp gusts
Etched in quartz tablet: Do Not Repeat....

Steep slope
Elope. 

Ready
Steady. 

Go fast
At last. 

Skid down
Clarks frown. 

Muscles 
Angles. 

Enjoy 
Annoy. 

Pleasure 
Treasure....

17
In the calm
Cool aftermath
Of all the drugs I did
After so long
Being on that skid
To be free 
Confounds me
Flabbergasted I 
Smoke a cigarette
And cry...

In snow and mud stuck off the road
On hill—we killed anti-skid mode
Then cleaned your tire tread
And rocked straight ahead
So now you've no need to be towed!

Jack's Somber Notes

jack fiddles life away on his thumbs
the little digits beating like drums
over loaf he brow
buttering skid row
from his jam he's awaits for crumbs

Sick waves tumble guts.
Quick gags stifle lunch.
Motions blurred gray illusion,
Icy spray sea infusion.
Slate fogged sky ahead and back,
Compass swinging out of whack.
Skid, slip, spin, and fall.
Don't panic, swim call....

I'll take the winding back roads and hope to skid. 
My mind aches when the wheels turn,
and I can't believe in the existence of myself. 
Me,
myself, and
I. Three separate entities forming nothing. 
Nothing,


And I can't breathe....

Dark black skid marks seared into the pavement point the way 
To the crush of glass and plastic shards forming a sparkling glade 
For the chaos of guard rail bowed and torn to convey 
A momentary lapse in judgment and a bad decision made....

Chased down, Santa’s sled leaves skid marks on the ledge of North Pole.
Sacks in hand, green elves turn Christmas red - punishment shoveling coal.

Hitch up those britches
Don't show those gitches

Stained with skid marks, no gitches
keep the crabs on your private witches

Bust the slack and expose the crack
Makes me see TP and talk some smack

Cover your assets; keep it in the backpack
Or I will use a thumb tack with a good whack!...

I'm tired of life with Smelly Sid -
that sock just stinks of sweaty feet,
no matter what they wash him in
(in winter's bad, but summer heat...)
I rolled out from the washing pile
and got away from Sid, but then
some boxers joined me - just my luck -
and now I'm stuck with Skid-mark Sven.

A pauper begs at the town gate
and sets, each day, a date with fate.
He harbours dreams where riches flow
but morning finds him on skid row.

Shrouded

Shrouded, in a mist,
Enriched, in a cyst;

I saw you skid,
Slip, in a slit;

Diving in your cove,
Hiding in your jove;

Rolling down the hills,
I saw you in the midst;

In chaos, I reigned,
And in silence, it rained;

Reminding me of you,
Gliding into the hue.....

Ben’s best friend was a dog named Zid
Who he treated just like his own kid.
When Ben rode his bike
Zid piggy-backed like a tyke
Holding tightly in case of a skid.

On and off so it was
Though unknown, I see
A turn to bend, too fast I crush
Wind in
Wind out
Help beckons like a dream
Too soon am out
Though unknown, I see
To them my heart is glad
Be it unto them as they did unto me
Wind in
Wind out
He watched down on me
Concern filled to relieve
So it was to skid-off

Six simpering thick-skinned shifty spinster sisters stiffly sit
Stitching sticky skid-marked scivvies of sixty sick stingy sailors.
Six sick from stitching scivvies of sixty sick scrimping sailors
Stickle over nickels; those insistent six thick-skinned spinster tailors!

Far from the warm holes
a mess of doors and
wings, wrecks of dents

and the broken lights of
lost souls,
the shitten hope

of a young man`s last skid
that led to flowers
cold on a country roadside

and the whisper
between the aluminium
begging till the battery leaks;

I did not want
To lose my body
But I was no good at life....

Skid row bums
Dress for no occasion,
Refuse raiders
Need no reservations.

Drug-addicted tenants
Beg for coins and candy,
Deadbeat derelicts
Reside at Hotel Alley.

Gutter renters
Lounge against brick walls,
Vagrant paupers
Rise to no wake-up calls.

Psychotic transients
Cruise dim lit corners
Wayward sons
Fight without honor....

ice skating was not his dear wife’s forte,
so he bought her membership for birthday,
she started with a skid and fall,
view of her crotch was free for all,
“ dear”, said he, “if you need nickers, please just say!”

All the good old things replaced by the shiny new,
But when does shiny new become a has been?
Things of depth and things of worth trashed because you can.
It all looks so good now and you look so smug but time turns,
Shiny new city with sparkling towers will fade,
It's time will run, it's autumn will come,
Then back to skid row, ashes to ashes, dust to dust....

A goose hydroplanes
on a strip of wet air.

Comic honk,
wings backtracking frantically.
It blunders about directionless
as if bananas
were attached to its feet.

It’s the slick chill
making this happen.
The funny thing is,
it’s not even funny,

because a goose that can skid
on an ordinary blacktop
probably won’t make it
into Spring....

If my taste starts to fade, stick around I'm in style
Evergreen, Peppermint, did I just see you smile?
Chew my wad, blow a bubble
Be minty fresh on the double
I am gum, chew on that for a while

I please and abide like your loyal chum
Then you spit me out like a skid row bum
But chew me at your pleasure
I'm a tried-and-true treasure
I am comfort, I am delight, I am gum!...
