POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I became roadNoise to escape the clutter of being Poetspeak. I think the poems you read here reflect a different side of me, perhaps who I was when I began to write 9 years ago ....
Tugboat Beautiful Loneliness
Watching them
East River
Pushing cargo
Tankers and barges
Imagine myself at the helm
Pre-dawn and post twilight
Silent except radar
Beautiful loneliness
Spare thoughts
Poems forming
Haven't shaved or showered in days
No contact with people
The fish like me
Dreams come true

Lovers on the Outside of Cool Sexuality
I ask you to smile
But not to much
We operate on the perimeter
Somewhere between illegal and sublime
Standing on the cold banks
Of a river with no name
Pressed into me, your hands in my pocket
Your heart beat apparent against
The weight of your breasts
We shape the moments
Knowing they are brief
Lovers on the outside of cool sexuality
A duality of common cause and desire
Reckless, sometimes dangerous
A calling, an addiction, a love
With no home ...
But not to much

Pressed into me, your hands in my pocket
Your heart beat apparent against
The weight of your breasts
We shape the moments
Knowing they are brief
Lovers on the outside of cool sexuality
A duality of common cause and desire
Reckless, sometimes dangerous
A calling, an addiction, a love
With no home ...

Between Lovers
There's a kinetic energy
Between lovers
Unspoken
It floats in aura
Supreme
Bold but sublime
There are things
I want to say to you
I can't, so I write these poems
I'm around you on every corner
In your rear view mirror
A voice telling our story
Between lovers
Unspoken
It floats in aura
Supreme
Bold but sublime
There are things
I want to say to you
I can't, so I write these poems
I'm around you on every corner

ATM and Sex Connection
My wife and I are at the ATM booth
She hasn't used her card in awhile
"Do I stick it in" she asks
"Yeah" I reply
It's like fucking
You stick in and then pull it out
She replies, "but you never cum and give me twenties"
Upon reflection she is right
Next time we do it, I'm bringing cash to bed
Maybe I can buy a new thrill

Colliding in Lust
Let's make out
No masks
Freed from tyranny
Your mouth on mine
Colliding in lust
The wait worth it

The Burn
It burns
You want them to want you
They did
Now on to someone else
You want them to want you
They did
Now on to someone else

Aftershave Kind of Day
First of May
Cleaned up
Actually shaved
Put on the sunny day charm scent
Who can resist
Renewal
A little splash of aura
Walking down the avenue
Smiling

Waking with the Mourning Doves
5:20 AM
The doves wake me
It's too early to rise
I get up anyway
Read poems
Maybe write one
Twenty years on the road
Selling products
Not sexy
Useful is all
Then the Pandemic
13 months at home
Slowly emerging
Out into the light
In some ways I'll miss the quiet
Only interrupted by Amazon deliveries
Truth is the city was too crowded before
We'll see now what gives ....

Clawed my way to Redemption
I pushed my own limits
Beyond but not to far
The loneliness trapped me
I clawed my way to redemption
Never say much about this depression
Used to it
Can't say it's a friend
It's somewhere between down and fury
Bruises heal
Beyond but not to far
The loneliness trapped me
I clawed my way to redemption
Never say much about this depression
Used to it
Can't say it's a friend
It's somewhere between down and fury
Bruises heal

rain makes me want to have sex
Gonna rain for the next 36 hours
Rain makes me want to have sex
My mind is tired
Think I’ll eat the sesame chicken from Thursday
I get it at the Thai /Chinese place down the street
Take out joint
Think the owner is Korean
She's sexy in an efficient kind of way
