John Smith's Distinct Memories Of 1999

Rainy Days

Others fall from the clouds;
he, falls on them...
If and when
a cloud falls on him,
he cries foul...


Hot July

His wife's best friend
exhibits under the table gestures;
his sensitivities are tickled...


October Blues

His parallel thoughts
of Frontal Attack and frontal nudity
merge in the infinite...


Black Friday

Outside the pawnshop
he window-shops used parts
for building character...


New Year's Resolution

Invents excuses
for always plunging
in moderate depths...
