Poet Introduction I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.

Subway
People sleep
Look at their phone
That's about it
Sometimes I read the New Yorker magazine
The real magazine
Not online
Oh yeah
Some people eat
Leave bad smells
Chew with their mouth open
Full stop

Jersey City
Got customers there
Take the Path train to Journal Square
Lyft rides from there
JC is old
City that time forgot
I tell my driver about the diners
All leftovers from an unknown era
Like being in a Bruce Springsteen song
I tell her
She just looks at me and nods
Getting it even though maybe she doesn't
Too young for my melancholy
That's good
Take the Path train to Journal Square
Lyft rides from there
JC is old
City that time forgot
I tell my driver about the diners
All leftovers from an unknown era
Like being in a Bruce Springsteen song
I tell her
She just looks at me and nods
Getting it even though maybe she doesn't
Too young for my melancholy
That's good

Mosquitoes, Wild Turkey 101, Summer Rain
Mosquito got me last night
Still itchy this morning
When they bite I take out the bourbon
Hardcore
Haven't had it for awhile
The summer rain last night
Yielding sublime blue sky today
Another smouldering humid day
Heavy air completes my story
Still itchy this morning
When they bite I take out the bourbon
Hardcore
Haven't had it for awhile
The summer rain last night
Yielding sublime blue sky today
Another smouldering humid day
Heavy air completes my story

Vacation
Not a vacay
There will be conversations not convos
We will drink tea in the afternoon
Civilized
Perhaps a bit boring
Less social media
Will I survive ?

Cleaning Out a Drawer
You find things
Pictures from yesteryear
Manuals from an air conditioner
Work stuff you'll never need
Mostly everything can be shredded
Except the priceless
A picture of your Mom and sister
Anniversary cards from your wife
Funny drawings of my artist nephew
A eulogy written for my beloved dog Ginger
I wrote it 2 years ago
Delivered it in our favorite park
It was forthright and funny
Wry and serious
I had remembered most of it
When I got to the end I added something longhand
I read it...

Successful but Not Happy
I've done well
If you measure things in the monetary sense
I'm restless though
Still searching
Beyond will have to wait
Got work to do
It ain't 9 to 5 either
My journey continues
Callouses and bourbon await
