POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.
Sitting by the Window
Sunday morning
Get up early as usual
Sit in my chair by the window
Cool April breeze sweeps by
Heat still on so a mixture of temps
I don't watch TV
I usually answer email
Read online
Play scrabble online
Do digital art online
Even when times were better
My routine was the same
Later when my wife gets up
I'll make some coffee and we'll talk
Best part of the day
Get up early as usual
Sit in my chair by the window
Cool April breeze sweeps by
Heat still on so a mixture of temps
I don't watch TV

Even when times were better
My routine was the same
Later when my wife gets up
I'll make some coffee and we'll talk
Best part of the day

Drinking Whiskey
I just want to drink whiskey
Doesn’t even have to be that great
Gimmie some burn and glow
I wanna forget the morning
I wake everyday
Stretch and look out the window
It’s then I remember we’re in lockdown
Armageddon look alike
The whiskey last night helps
I got a headache and I’m hungover
The way it’s gonna be
Granola and Wild Turkey 101

Call to Action
Do your part
We all have better things to do
Cloth, paper, whatever
Wear it

Lou Reed - New York
1989
My man Lou
Give it a listen
Blow your fucking mind
All over again

Report from the Front ( New York City )
Went out today to take a walk
It's much different than from 2 days ago
Rainy
Moodier
Restaurants boarded up
Like a hurricane was expected
Then there's the quiet
Never seen it like this
It's unnerving
Not sure what to say

It's Quiet in New York City
It's never this quiet
Middle of the day
Can even hear birds chirping
Occasionally a siren
Breaking the calm
Reality shaken
Its overcast
Little bit of rain
I love the dewy quiet
So unfamiliar

Life Interrupted
I want to go to the store
I want to go to a movie
I want to go for a beer
I want to go out for dinner
I want to go to the post office
I want to go to the bank
I want to go to the park
I want to talk to my neighbor
I want to get a haircut

Salty Corn Chips, Diet Cola and Eating Pussy
Bet that got your attention
The world is kind of fucked
If I were reading this
I'd want to know one thing
If the world is so fucked
Why not go for full jolt regular cola
Fuck that diet shit
The world is kind of fucked
If I were reading this
I'd want to know one thing
If the world is so fucked
Why not go for full jolt regular cola
Fuck that diet shit

New York City is my Home
Coronavirus
Covid 19
Ground Zero
Where else would I live ?
Where would I want to be ?
My home
My sanctuary
My grit
Hope I survive
Listening to Springsteen
The Rising
What else is there?
We’ve been here before

Artists, Writers, Poets ....
We will save the day
Pandemics have nothing on us
Wealth is fantasy
How much do you need ?

Fragments
Shaving this morning
Thinking about my Dad
4 years behind enemy lines
WW ll
Came back home to honesty and marriage
He was hard to be close to
Never said much
It was what he didn't say
That said so much
I wear him on my shoulder
Times like this needed more than ever
Wisdom
Pragmatism
Living by a code
He never told us what he saw overseas
Protected us from evil
Shaved every morning the rest of his days
