The Love Affair of Tad and Elizabeth-Days 6,7,8,9 and 10
DAY 6-THINKING AND PONDERING
Tad has an idea they could rent a room in a house for a few weeks, put a jinx on the motel circuit, get a little bourgeois.
He remembered a Vietnam vet who Tad had as a patient when Tad was a respiratory therapist at a VA hospital many many years ago,The vet said renting a room in someone's house was the cheapest and best way to avoid creditors and court summons. The vet himself had been dodging alimony and lawyers for dead-beat fathers. Then he enlisted and his problems were solved.

Living Goddesses
you meet one
in a store or on a plane
it makes no difference where it's at
you praise her smooth tapered legs
or her eyes impenetrably beautiful, like those of a cat
her too sweet smile might brush you off
but you protest you're a connoiseur
you meant every word of that
sometimes a word, a touch
can make a woman blush
it's then you know you've made your mark
and hope she'll hang with you for a merry lark
another woman might dazzle you with arcane wisdom
or take your breath away
as she beams a winning...

The Love Affair of Tad and Elizabeth
THE LOVE AFFAIR OF TAD AND ELIZABETH-Preview-The First 5 Days
Preface
Like many people, I followed closely the alleged kidnapping of 15 -year-old Elizabeth Thomas by her former Tennessee teacher,Tad Cummins.I was wondering if it would take a tragic turn like many such abductions.
But after the pair was apprehended- Elizabeth unharmed, both surrendering peaceably to the authorities-I realized there was something different here: an unusual and beautiful love story that couldn't have unfolded in any other manner.
It was...

A Pear Tree in Summer Fog
Watch how the sun will slowly sketch it
in charcoal, then lay on colors, then give full body
to what, a few minutes ago, was
the thinnest apparition...

the wrong paradox
trump believes in climate change
(think on that and weep)
the clue is the word change

A beautiful sexual odyssey*
*We need to re-think our rights of sexual privacy and society's sexual witchcraft.

CHOPSTICK POEM
buttered noodles O stay hot you quickly cooling wrigglies!
and you, naked geisha
sing me to sleep-
but disobey your decorous caresses

STAGE FRIGHT dark/absurd
A snowman had a poem in his heart
so one night he attended a slam
But as he stepped onto the stage
he melted
and all that was left was
an empty stage with a little H2O
and the lights shining down...in a rage
so one night he attended a slam
But as he stepped onto the stage
he melted
and all that was left was
an empty stage with a little H2O

FAMILY SECRETS-a rare and nicely abstracted presentation of the failure of an attempted brother and sister incest
countless darnings of minds'
explanations
that spermy night of drab renown
pernod of licorice spilling
over her thighs of chance
our unsettled merriment never knowing where to land
our silly ripostes
demanding a touch
a look
not the whirr of sparrows
across our barren heaven
or the finality of a sibling's dry kiss
