POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
AND IN THIS CORNER!
summer
nights when the
gods laugh the
most
walking downtown
looking at cracks
in the sidewalks
the ghost of old
buildings remembered
now long gone
found myself in
the more reprobate
part of town
noticed a good crowd
outside the Sportsman
bar
found an empty spot
to stand
two guys were swinging
away at each other
not even looking where
they punching
there was no science ...

the worst part of being
65 is that you don't worry
about relationships anymore

things aren't always what they seem
that building on the
corner there...
...yes. that building
it uses to be a coffee
shop
a gym
a used book store
but despite intentions
each failed
failed
failed
and
failed
now it sits there:
empty
alone
abandoned
it is much like
love and the
human
heart

how alone is alone
being alone by
yourself is nothing
but being alone with
someone sitting next
you!
now that's
just stupid

what a day!
the sun was out today
smiling like a child on
the last day of school
cars zipping past cars
oblivious to their
drivers
the sun was out today
as playful as a dog fetching
a stck in some backyard
brunch was a miracle
rainbow laying across
my plate
people laughed as the sun
shined down and spirits
rose like shipwrecked
treasures
the sun was out today
and curled up into a
ball like some great
orange tabby cat on
the blue blanket of
sky
...

you never know when
lying down
relaxing in
a dimly lit
room
cigarette
in hand
smoke rising up
and fanning out
like a peacocks
tail
such little moments
in the quiet of the day
I smile

and finally, hope
I hope life blesses you
with a goodnight
kiss
I hope that the dreams
of moonlight fall upon
you like silver
snowflakes
I hope that your sadness
is covered by a thousand
red cut out paper
hearts
I hope that a child sees
through your eyes
and the devil
walk away
defeated
I hope the summer
rain cleanses your
grief and you can
finally grow
roses
with a goodnight
kiss
I hope that the dreams
of moonlight fall upon
you like silver
snowflakes
I hope that your sadness
is covered by a thousand
red cut out paper
hearts
I hope that a child sees
through your eyes
and the devil
walk away
defeated
I hope the summer
rain cleanses your
grief and you can
finally grow
roses

some sarcasm
the way it used
to be
neighbor helping
neighbor
treating others
how you would
want to be treated
a friend in need is
a friend indeed
be thou thy brothers
keeper
...how folksy
...how charming
...how old fashioned
the fools
those simple old
fools
what DID they
know, anyway
...non nobis solum
nati sumus

if you don't think
enough of yourself
then the sun will
never find you

time spent with you spent me
time spent with you
was a Rorschach test
of never being sure
of what I was seeing
time spent with you
was a game of chicken
and seeing which one
would blink first and
swerve out of harms
way
time spent with you
was playing Russian
Roulette on a doomed,
drunken night where
the bullet was the only
winner
time spent with you was
a monkeys paw where
dreams and wishes came
out twisted, bloodied,
backwards and
useless
time spent with you ...

HEY!!! Where did I GO!
if you need to
see yourself
in somebody's
else's eyes
just make sure
the other person
isn't shortsighted
