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

Tested
Had a 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag morning
My work days are like that
Fixing fuck ups
Selling product
Keeping the profit mojo flowing
It's easy sometimes to feel sorry for myself
It's even easier though to realize that's the way it is
My pay is pretty good
I earn it fixing chaos of others
A day without mayhem is like winning lotto
Not too many complaints though
As good as I think I am
I'm replaceable in a heartbeat
No robots though
Not yet anyway

New York City Pizza
Everyone thinks their city has the best pizza
I'm no different
NYC is the best
Is it the crust , the sauce or the cheese
or the water and the ovens
Or
That the guy behind the counter for 40 years
wearing a red striped shirt is named Tony
Whether you want a slice or a pie
Real deal or expensive hipster shit
It's here
Most you'll have to walk is a few blocks
Sober or drunk
Hey Tony
Gimme a slice
He nods because he knows you
Just the way you like it
Street cred

Marriage in the Key of Normal and Sublime
We fight, we laugh, we call each other names
We make love, sometimes rougher than usual
We drink, cook food, talk about our day
You and Me
Always

Whiskey
Neat
Three fingers
Often two more as a topper
Takes my growl down to a quasi snarl
Whiskey is serious business
Maybe even a religion
My women have to drink whiskey
Doesn't matter what kind
Irish and Bourbon for me
Scotch only if it's expensive
and someone else is buying
I'm good company
Fortified in sauce
Let the whiskey be complex
So I can stay simple
Haze, burn and glow
Cheers

The Thing About Bukowski
What impresses me about Buk
is not the raunch he is known for
or even his defiance,
though his defiance does float my boat
for the working man
What impresses me
was his need to write
Everyday
He wrote thousands and thousands
of poems
It was his internal mission
I love that about this man
This poet
All the the noise about his content
Should be about his desire
Truly Spectacular

Doggie is Home
She had to stay a few extra days at the Vet
It was a good thing too
She's pretty sore and walking slow
She needs time now to regain her mojo
The look on her face was classic
When she exited the exam room
She's never been away from us in 15 years
We covered her in kisses and rubbed her floppy ears
Took her home in her wagon
City folk that we are, no car
Our awesome dog walker carried her upstairs
She drank water immediately, that lovely slurping sound
She's an old dog with youthful spirit
Still a lot of...

She's Coming Home Today
Cancer
Spent a few days at the vet
Carved up, tumor removed
It was pretty big but nabbed early
Stage one
Went to visit last night
Brought her some fresh chicken
Vet said she was ready to go home
Translation
She's barking like crazy
Please take her home
She's the ultimate mutt
Almost 16
Fiery, feisty, calls all the shots
My baby
Hope to keep her dance party rocking
Two days without her
Apt feels empty
She's coming home
Who knows for how long

Blue Collar Raw
Went from white collar to Blue
Never looked back
Always an opposite
No regrets
My hands are rough
Calloused focus
You lay next to me
in a whiskey haze
My gray beard
Against your lovely skin
Tracers and marks
Tell our story

Fade to Black
Black is my sunshine
Black calls me home
Black collides with pain
Black is the planet I call home
Black feeds me solace
Black is what I wear
Black is not my skin color
Black is my mood when smiling
Black is sexual
Black is my mantra
Black is my story
Black is where I take you
Are you ready ?
