An Uncool Poem about Melting Beers

Red cones on the blacktop
August is a burning blanket.
Dusty crows perch on long dead armadillos.

The Chevys' air-con
chokes up a warm blow.
A Navaho in Ohio has phoned.
he needs to talk about his dead wife.
He will have cold beers.
I have my own beers
but go anyway.

The evening is electric and neon,
city roads growl like wounded samurai.
If I were

Compelling Confusion is so uncool -No Way? Yes Way-

Crumbled like dust and I began to stumble like ashes with a gust of wind – that’s what I felt before exchanging smiles and goodbyes…
Oblivious obviously…removing the plank from my own eyes of deep-inside-prideful lies
Memorably, miserably yet magnificently and mesmerizingly myself simultaneously 
Precious and passionately positive and neutrality in my nostalgias, negotiating muses of confusion

To Be Uncool

A child – once solitary - 
 lived inside herself and always dreamed.
She wished for popularity.
This would be happiness – at least for her it seemed.

Popularity never came,
but in her thirteenth year,
she noticed others like herself -
girls seeking more. Like her, they were sincere.

She sought them out – those other girls
unwanted by the cliques at

The Time Uncool Took a Beating and Smirked

High school, I was always on the outside of the "cool".
One year I pledged for a fraternity to see if "cool" would let me in.
My future "brothers" lined up and one by one.
Taking a wooden paddle to my soul-paying a dollar for every blow...
It was all part of the fraternity fun. 
One "brother" paid for

Totally Uncool

I've got no tattoos
No jewelry or fancy shoes
I shine like a boring rock
Kicked by a kid down a cracked sidewalk

I listen to old jazz
Everything on the radio is bad
I'm not controversial or shocking
Just sensible and slightly mocking

The coolest thing I do is smoke
And even that, these days
Is a health hazard, the trendy would say
For the

Swaggerless, Unpopular and Uncool

Never made to feel welcome, always left out
Bullied and made to feel worthless, I was always kept down
Laughed at for being swaggerless, Unpopular and uncool
Made fun of, for being myself and not playing by their rules

I was just a regular kid who happened to be bipolar
Who had the whole world relaxing on my shoulders
Thinking about

Uncool

If
you 
are not
employed 
by the secret
service, there'll
never be any good 
reason for you to wear
a Bluetooth on your ears

Uncool Scene

Shifty eyed men and women
standing around on a summer evening 
   Passing by them 
     I hear grumbling and veiled threats
Pays to be careful 
You don't want to become a newspaper crime story 
or another statistic 
    Summer in the vast metropolis 
Exciting yet dangerous

What Makes Me Act Uncool

Though I don’t get upset when at school,
and in accidents I remain cool,
be it anything dire,
like a storm or a fire,
there’s not often I act like a fool. . . . 

When recording the shows I adore
and the last episode I wait for
becomes lost or destroyed,
I’m more than annoyed.
Like a crazy gorilla, I roar!


(Still kicking
