Poet Introduction
"But on second thought, I didn't have anything to say. Besides, I have to admit that whatever interest you can get people to take in you doesn't last very long." - Albert Camus' "The Stranger"
Within Without
You always tried to get me
But I wouldn't let you in
And I never seemed to finish
The things that I begin
Just couldn't figure out
The pain that lived within
No matter how I fought it
Just couldn't comprehend
And it never ends
So what can I say
Wouldn't help anyway

The Celtic Cross
Given that the past
Couldn’t be rehashed
The future’s never told
To those who aren’t so bold
Presently I sit
Getting over it
Underneath the cross
Where hopes & fears are lost
What will come to pass
The challenges that last
From what comes within
Soon will be out cast
My advice
Surrender to win

Sleepy Joe
Sung to the Brahms lullaby 'Go To Sleep'
Sleepy Joe
Here We Go
You have made it
To Office
Bye, Bye Trump
Got The Bump
MAGAmerica
No More
Pack The Courts
With A Bill
All to get his
Job Done
Say Farewell
To Free Will
Hope you don't
Own a gun

Look In The Mirror Sammie!!!!
Lord God Almighty!!!!
I’m one sick puppy
Talking to myself
OUT LOUD!!!!
Negativity feeding
Off the troughs
Slops, Plops
Into the can dew
the dew
Nothing!!!!
Trying to make a Name for myself
We aim for Fame
As if to claim Salvation
Damnation more like it!!!!
For what is it to gain the
World and lose ones soul
Still –
Recognition is nice
Learn to love yourself
See others as they are
And not who you want
them to be
Preconceived notions
Lathered on lotions ...

The Cock-Roach & the june-bug
Insects are interesting
impulsive little buggers
Surviving on basic instincts
Devoid of pesky emotions
munch, multiply, move
Simple
take The Cock-Roach for example
Suspicious Skitter Scatter
Hissing hissyfits
Avoiding certain death with
Antennae feeling out fate
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Knowing how to hide
How to stay concealed
A Home Invader
if there ever was
One is too many
a 1,000 is
never enough
Then there’s the june-bug
Crawl when it can fly
And more often than...

Step One
Reeling & Writhing
The Snake dies
A little each day
By biting its tail
Encircling its prey
It draws nourishment
From my misery
And if I feed it
I will die before my
Time to get off this
Not-so-merry-go-round
Never in my life
Did I think
The ride would stop
Sometimes
I think I don't think
Sometimes

Don't Stifle The Eiffel Tower!
Existence a punch in the gut
Not fatal; just enough
To throw up your hands
In surrender
Not fatal; just enough
To throw up your hands
In surrender

Put It In Reverse (Ten Of Cups)
There seems to be
A rift in relations
"Communication Breakdown"
Playing on the radio
In the car
With no one in particular
Chitter chatter
What's the matter?
Can't stand the silence
Between peers
Though years
Separate us like seat-belts
Fasten tight lips
In case of slips
Letting up on
The spiritual program
He is the driver
Living Life On Life's Terms
I am the passenger
Transitioning through
Static transmissions
Picking up clips & phrases
Steps & stages
Trying...
