A LUXURY I WISH
...In my comfy corner, a little space
A place of my own, as soft as a lace
Lays a long chair of queen’s height with a wooden base
With a rocking style for a ride at a mild pace
Cushions of v...

My family joined a summer outing
So excited for swimming and rafting
Mom got our swim vests with suits
Dad just brought his parachutes
And kept eyes on us, flying and shouting.

...I just came from the cafeteria. In a shocking twist,
I have to actually meet people, I mean, can you imagine?
And we have group projects, my least favorite thing,

Unintended Innuendo
...We spoke in semaphore of smirks,
A dialect of sideways quirks—
Our mouths full up with mirage and pun,
Unconscious artists come undone.
She, a flower in a field of noise,
Parsed our pose as pr...

memories of the seventies
...red hot lava lamp
shaggedy raggedy rug
peace sign plump flower
bell bottom hip huggers
fake fur vests and free love
open hearts, open ideas

...In a world where shadows creep, Where fears and doubts run deep, Colors of safety gently weave, A tapestry where we can breathe.
White starts with purity and light, A beacon in the darkest night. ...

...we wore fringed vests, the love beads
the long hair, the hair bands, the granny glasses
the flowing clothes, the bell bottoms
a fantastic time, the memories of my youth...

Contemplating braces
...I’m contemplating braces
My belts don’t seem to work
They just don’t seem to get a grip
Now I’m of a certain girth
I shop at Marks and Spencer’s
I like their thermal vests
I bought a pair...

Warm-Up
...Construction has been going on
Right by my river walk,
Where workers dig and man machines
As seagulls swoop and squawk.

An unexpected sight,
Unusual enough t...

That guides men to the rightful path,
Clears away the darkness of night
And trims down their pride and their wrath
It is the flame of faith full...

A Line of Kids
...I often see a line of kids
With vests of neon green
Go walking down the street; it is
A charming urban scene.
They’re anywhere from two to four,
Connected by a rope,
So no one up and wanders ...

And cottonmouth vipers. Accordions, fiddles, and rub board vests
Make their ramble through the undergrowth hot on the trail
Of a sultry midsu...
