A Stupid and Futureless Wino
A stupid and 
futureless wino,
was heavily drunk as 
you know.
He fell in a gutter
and shouted "its 
better.
This home is the 
best for a wino"...

Oh wino wino your song is sung
your habit took you,
but not before the offensive world
took your wife your child your very soul!

Premium Member Sitting On the River Bank
The cork bobbled up and down;
the river ran; chased by mother wind.
The lonely wino took to coma
like fresh fish out of water.

The fallen bottle dripped drops
of lost dreams....

Premium Member Wino - Why No
~~~~    Wino ? - Why No !   ~~~~

I like a glass of wine, now and then,
While relaxing, feet up, in the den.
I'll quit after one
'Cause spillings no fun
When two often becomes five or ten....

I’m just a free-range wino on the lam,
A low-rent resident of any circus tent 
Accepts me as the reprobate I am.
I don’t speak Texan and I don’t intend to,
But I’ll pretend to be a rodeo clown.
I’ve got a box of bad intentions.
Gonna drink that vino down.
In vino veritas....

Learning To Inhale
It's 4 a.m.--  

A hotel
bible is spreading
the good
news to a local wino,
as dirty children
of intimate strangers 
are playing X Box
with addicts.

A young girl
is learning 
to inhale up 
on the
gravel rooftop,
scribing poetry
on her arm
in the minute 
moonlight.

Razor writing
is such
a waste of type O....

Oenophile's Dancing Magenta's
There once was a wino dance I know too       				                                He drank untill his toes where sort of blue                                                                         Was it the grape wine i know

Sheltered Dreams
Babies crying, mothers sighing, old men
In remnates of suits discussing the fate of
The world as they share a pint of memories.

TV blaring, fighters glaring at
Each other waiting for eternity
To move toward them.

Wino breath and preachers death
Knell for those in fear of
Soulless bodies and redemption.

Days are gone, so this throng
Roost in this place built with
Uncaring hands and minds.

Some will leave, some will bereave
But all will have
Sheltered dreams....
