POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.
Basic
Wear black or white
Colors would involve choices
Own one plate
One knife, fork and spoon
No car
No debt
Cash only
Rotary phone

You keep me in line
When I stray
Not sexually of course
You are da bombshell of my dreams
Even when I have you
I still want you

Corner
Just give me a little piece of your heart
Maybe a corner
I'll keep your garden tended
Love in full bloom

Transcendental Yesterday
A road salesman sees things
Yesterday's and today
These iconic structures sit idle
Landmarks of another time
Captured in living color
On my two year old BlackBerry
Now considered ancient
Ain't that something

you moved on but you still tell me you miss me, the bottle is empty and I'm feeling kind of blue
It was the connection
Reading each others mind
Saying it out loud
Without fear, without reprisals
That's what I miss
Romantics always pay the price
Others just buy another bottle
If it were that easy, I'd buy the whole damn case

Under Observation
Quiet period
Observing
Not saying much
To the naked eye
If you look closely though
I'm here
Writing with invisible ink
You gave me secrets
Protecting them with my honor
You're safe
See you soon
Look for me
Undercover
Code word please

Inane WiFi question
My wife wants to know where the WiFi comes from in our apt
Thinking quickly, I tell her it comes from my ass
She's serious though
So am I
I read her this poem
She shakes her head
Smiles coyly
And says "slice of life"
Thinking quickly, I tell her it comes from my ass
She's serious though
So am I
I read her this poem
She shakes her head
Smiles coyly
And says "slice of life"

Bleed out in the Love Ghetto
I didn't want to believe in our love
Because I knew it would go down in flames
You fought really hard for my commitment
Until I gave it to you, then you discarded me
Translation: You threw me out
But kept my heart, my bones on the roadside
Fresh kill
Bleed out in the love ghetto
The joke's on you though babe
I always come back
With scars but smarter
Next time just prostitutes
Transactions consummated
No fault love loss
Everyone wins, no tumors, no malignancy
Because I knew it would go down in flames
You fought really hard for my commitment
Until I gave it to you, then you discarded me
Translation: You threw me out
But kept my heart, my bones on the roadside
Fresh kill
Bleed out in the love ghetto
The joke's on you though babe
I always come back
With scars but smarter
Next time just prostitutes
Transactions consummated
No fault love loss
Everyone wins, no tumors, no malignancy

Beyond Love
That indescribable place
It has no name
When all the fear has been conquered
Remains the desire core
You've arrived
It has no name
When all the fear has been conquered
Remains the desire core
You've arrived

Linen
I love linen
It beholds all that summer is
Languid and humid
With a gentle breeze to cool
It beholds all that summer is
Languid and humid

Manifesto
I like meat and potatoes
Cooked medium
It's bad for my prostate
Living dangerously
Bukowski worked at the post office
I sell stuff that's not sexy
Just necessary
Always the loner
Finding comfort in one on one encounters
Put me in a group and I drink too much
The guy slipping out the back, and not returning
Gave up corporate life
To go on the road in field sales
No car, no problem
Walk my territory like a cop on a beat
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
There is some truth in that
Sex drives me, whether I'm having it...
