POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.
We Chose not to be Lovers
In a perfect world
Maybe
Far from perfect
We just talk on the street
Then go home to cold showers
Maybe
Far from perfect

Drank me some WT 101 Last Night
It burns clean
Always tastes better half way through the bottle
Those boys sure know to pack a punch
Could buy more expensive but what's the point ?

Sometimes it's too Nice a Day and then I Feel Blue
Contrarian
Too much sunshine
Skin cancer does that to me
Hiding out when I should be riding the wave
Feeling in the pit of my stomach
Missing those past and present
It will pass
Gotta play that hand
Laughter in the background
Tears up close

The Rider
Saw this movie last night
It opens in the rest of the country this week
Left it's mark on me
I knew nothing about it
Every once in awhile you see a film that stays with you
Stark and telling
Blew me away actually
I thought I was a cowboy once
That's all I'm gonna say
Go see it
Tell me what you think

April
It's one of the worst months of the year
An in between month
More like winter than spring
Still cold and leaves you wanting ....

Morning dew
Beautiful cloudiness
Sipping coffee on a park bench
Ginger buried in the flower bed behind me
She's been gone a year
I can't let her go
Dogs are like that
She helped me laugh everyday
Grace
Spirit
The top of her head smelled like maple syrup
I want another but I still want her
Waiting, watching for one that needs me
I'll know when I see her or him, they give you a signal

It all makes sense now
It's the water here
That why everything tastes so good
Jeez
Take a sip

Black T-Shirt
Wear one everyday
There is no other color I want close to my skin
Manic and appropriate
Slight despair
Cooled by the blackness
Onward

Loner*ism
Turning inward somewhat
A condition I'm comfortable being in
Not lonely

We Talk by Phone
My nephew calls me from the road
On the way back from the lab
He does science things
Stuff I could never understand
Since I don't have too
I assume he's saving the world
One experiment at a time
Phone is how we connect
Once in awhile text
We talk philosophy, human condition
The wonders of baseball
Kinetics of a slow curve
Stealing home
Dynamics of dealing with women
I treasure this relationship
He may think I'm smarter than I am
He's the scientist
I'm the poet and artist and...

From 5 Back to Zero, Running through the Fields to Galaxy 59
You can't see me
I can see you though
Your calling is beyond the realm of reality
We worked the fields together
That night shift almost ate us alive
You would bring fresh fruit and pita bread
While the rest of us were sneaking beers and junk food
There's nothing a Hershey Bar with almonds can't cure
Milk chocolate the worst for wear
Those almonds though saved the night in spades
Nutrition is tough from a vending machine
I stole some of your red seedless grapes a few times
I knew you knew
You never said anything ...

We Could Have Tea and Just Gaze into Each Other's Eyes
Not really much of tea drinker
Though in the literary sense it's much more dramatic
I would take mine without milk
Your UK heritage makes me think there will be some
I don't need you to say anything
Silence doesn't offend me
Small talk is unnecessary
Pastry however is paramount
