POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
the dangers of being self aware
woke up one
morning
looked out
the window
there was
nothing left
went back
to bed

a time of gathering
withered leaves swim like
fish in a dead breeze
the years search
for a retirement home
the night skies gives
the moon a Judas kiss
to betray the risng sun
the memory of love
sits in a dingy room
sharpening a razor
the gathering of angel
wings fluttering behind
the eyes of damp sleep
the gathering of tears
into small puddles where
children's anoint sadness
the gathering of flowers
begging for mercy from

plain to see
stone dropped
in water
ripples echo out
than fade
life,
time,
our stones,
water.

who were we fooling
all those times that
went before us when
we were as young as
a new spring rising
going downtown on
a Friday or Saturday
shopping for clothes,
records, having lunch
laughing too loud
cursing too much
asking to bum a
smoke from a friend
sneaking a six pack
we were unafraid,
immortal and forver
beautiful like an oil

words from the down side
for a junkie
no high is ever
high enough
not the sky
not outer space
not passing by heaven
and handing God a tissue
to wipe a tear from his eye
for what a junkie does to life
a junkies brain consists
of poisonous spiders
crawling over electrified
barbwire
it goes on day after
self murderous day
addiction shows no respect
to the body,
...

a new dharma
OH MY
GOD!
It feels so good to just
lie here and smoke and
be one with nothing
and forget all that horse shit, mealy mouthed, mother
fornicating, new age, anxiety ridden, put God on a string on Sumday and forget on Monday, chipmunk assed, pull a knife out of your gut, deodorant for every part of your body, You Tube like bed bugs infestation of our souls life
...and just watch the
smoke rings rise

it was summer
it was
summer
that one night all
those years ago
standing across from
you in the kitchen
your eyes splashed
with angry tears
the dreadful numbing
silence eating thoughts
I didn't know
what to say
standing there
looking down
at the floor
...so I cried,
too

unpack this one
..days that never
seem to arrive
...a past that never
wants to leave
life
sometimes it's as cold and
useless as a dead man's ass.
there
I've said it out
loud

no truer hell
..than to be home
alone
celebrating one's
own thoughts
taking in the small
victories
and mismanagements
of life
with smokes aplenty at
hand
and out a
lighter
DAMM IT !

what time does the floor show start?
..that is the question I
always asked myself
when my drunken father
came staggering home
with my mom sitting
on that worn out old
couch waiting for him
and his worthless den
full of lion lies and vodka
excuses
I had a front row seat
and I didn't have to pay
one red cent to see the
whole dammed show
now that's what I
call entertainment

do you like pie?
do you remember the
last time you had a
great slice of pie
or,
where you had that
great slice of pie
like in some art deco,
silver streak train
car diner
the one with the
stools that spun
sitting in front of
the counter
the diner with a Tuesday
night blue plate special
a diner where lonely
old men would eat,
men so old that the space
between one heart beat
and the next...
