a quiet mind
we cannot always
let things go,
but certainly,
we can always
just "let things
be"

yep...there it is...
if you have to prove
that you are worth
being around
someone
-then-
they are not
worth being
around you
that you are worth
being around
someone
-then-
they are not
worth being
around you

the price of love
question reality
debate reality
challenge
reality
and what you
will have,
laid spread out
and naked
before you,
like a beautiful
lover waiting,
trembling with
anticipation,
to be taken and
penetrated
will finally
be the
truth
can you live
with that
kind of
fidelity?

"she never did that before!"
on occasion I like to
get away for a night
create a small bubble
of sanity against the
deadly madness of
this present world
a night away in a hotel
usually does the trick,
nothing fancy, just clean
along with a meal at a
local pub or some such
thing
then it's reclining in bed
with a decent show
on one of these occasions
I was walking down the hall
heading outside to smoke
passing by one the doors
I heard a giggly voice of
a girl saying, "I'VE NEVER
DONE...

the bind that ties
roses and rings
nooses around
the neck
fall in love
and end up hung
until dead,
by heck

neo realism minimalism
I didn't get laid
last night
but I got an oil
change for my car
this afternoon
I feel much better
now

put not thy trust in the common place of this world
lovers have betrayed
me
friends have abandoned
me
and don't get me started
on that dirty cheating
bastard,
life
but there were the books
always books
silent stalwarts of sanity
and salvation
Hemingway
Fante
Rand
Salinger
and so many, oh
so many
more
the words washing ...

the wisdom of deep roots
there is a tree outside
my office window
I watch it marking the
seasons
it's birth in the spring
its life in the summer
it dying in the fall
its afterlife in the winter
that old tree...
it has survived
storms, wind
and snow
that old tree...
we have an understanding
him and I
I notice his strength, age
and beauty
and quietly admire it's
near eternity
and in the perpetuity that
comes and
go
I hear it's...

it is to laugh
a person without a
sense of humor is
like a someone trying
to run a race with
a broken leg

the indigenous brain of an old junkie
my brain is an old
junkies brain
it moves in strange
ways
like:
laughing at the jokes
that flowers tell
sitting in a graveyard at
night and talk with
dead children who
will never know
another birthday
or Christmas
that an honest hatred
is better than a false love
on any given day
seeing that truth is
held prisoner by
perception and
that perception
is no better than
a rotting fish lying
on a rocky beach
and that there is
no...

it's all a dirty trick
the arsenic face of
the moon
love shaped like a
bayonet
rooms and hearts so
empty that echoes
drown in the
vacuum
it's all a dirty
trick
we never stood
a chance
we never stood
a chance
we never stood
one goddamn
chance
