POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A lot of my poetry has to do with alienation, rejection, loneliness, suicide, mercy fucks, shyness and social justice.

The Art of Family Values
I know many arts
But one, I am so perplexed
It has escaped me.
I can write a poem
And, I take a mean picture
But one art, I lacked.
Oh - I tried, I did
But did not come naturally
Family to teach me?
They are geniuses
In my eyes, at art of life
At mere compassion.
Back when I was born
My father used to watch me
Made sure I was safe.
Later on in church
When a family moved town
My mother, she...
But one, I am so perplexed
It has escaped me.

Made sure I was safe.

Fail To Break
One day the balls will cease to break
When life itself will be at stake
Oh, do I ever dread the day
When the pool games will come to an end.
Try to enjoy it for today
Because the games will stop one day
I know forever we can't play
When the pool games come to an end.
It is taboo, yet a deep thought
Mood at bay - don't appear distraught
Until at least, thou comes the day
When the pool games come to an end.
The 8-ball in the window will
Just be a sad remnant - now still
Don't look forward to -...
When life itself will be at stake
Oh, do I ever dread the day

It is taboo, yet a deep thought
Mood at bay - don't appear distraught
Until at least, thou comes the day
When the pool games come to an end.

Just be a sad remnant - now still
Don't look forward to -...

His Mother
His mother wanted
The house
To be the social center of the neighborhood
In the psycho-analytic climate
Of the 1950s.
His father was
The main breadwinner
To ensure
This would come to pass
In the vanilla suburban neighborhood
Of the west end of Long Island.
The community knew this
About his upbringing, I mean
And the way his parents
Blessed him
In a world built for neuro-typicals
The world he also lived in.
His parents
Would eventually die off
Par for the course with life on...

I'm Dying
I'm
Dying
Is what I'm
Dreading to hear
I dread the day but I know it is near.
I'm
Not close
As I'd like
As I should be
To them before it is then far too late.
I'm
Dying
Is what I
Heard on the phone
Last night when she called and I got the news.

'He's There ....'
How many people?
The newspaper said
Visiting our festival
That we celebrate in stead
A special time to have
Bringing people together
And offering our beds
To eager out of towners.
The community comes together
When lives are hit with tragedy
Acting like brothers and sisters
Their wellness becomes our priority
I'm proud I'm from this city
His brother showed he cared, on TV
Because we showed we're a caring community
To eager out-of-towners.
The new wing is almost complete
As the walking tour proves...

Hot Enough
we sing in the same choir
and get along like a house on fire
even sing in the same key
the gold star singers, you and me
but would you allow yourself
with me to share a bed
you just grinned, beside yourself
and then to me you said ....
you're a nice guy
but you're not hot enough
not hot enough (hot enough)
no you're not hot enough (hot enough!)
your burner's just on medium
and you don't make women high
you're not hot enough.
we both talk shop great on our breaks
