Statue in Time
More you sit
More you die
Sit like a statue in time
Hardens around you
Through your mind
Limbs so supple
Die grapes on vine
Keep mobile
Even just in your head
Jack be nimble
Head can’t think
Don’t want to be
Remembered
But I’ll deliver
Concrete can’t hold me
I’m pouring through
Set my place
In time
Set my soul
Back to family
More you die
Sit like a statue in time
Hardens around you
Through your mind
Limbs so supple
Die grapes on vine
Keep mobile
Even just in your head
Jack be nimble
Head can’t think
Don’t want to be
Remembered
But I’ll deliver
Concrete can’t hold me
I’m pouring through
Set my place
In time
Set my soul
Back to family

Everyone forgets my f**king birthday
Generally I'm not a big song and ceremony type
when it comes to birthday hype
If someone asks, I tell them the day
However beyond that I won't remind. Not my way

Colorless Youth
Wasted twenties being stacked
with the pile of my lost teens,
where the years seemed to slip away.
Adrift on rogue waves of time,
young, subdued and penned
in a colorless youth, looking for a prism
to cast hues on my fading blooms.
with the pile of my lost teens,
where the years seemed to slip away.
Adrift on rogue waves of time,
young, subdued and penned
in a colorless youth, looking for a prism

think nothing of death
old man sits at his desk
with his cigarettes, his papers, his books
and his scotch, but
no clocks, no timepieces
whatsoever to remind him
of the time he has left
with his cigarettes, his papers, his books
and his scotch, but
no clocks, no timepieces
whatsoever to remind him
of the time he has left

Pennies
I save my pennies
that the wizened apple of my self
might know some comfort
that the wizened apple of my self
might know some comfort

Neighborly Old Maid
There once was a young man so bold,
His neighbor he solemnly told,
Her old down-home views
Were often misused
Or was she just stubborn and old?
He thought that she must be quite lonely,
With affection he acted quite phony.
To her he was kind
And she didn’t mind
She’d always been thought of as homely.
She fell for his charm and his wit,
One night while he sucked on her tits.
He was quite the buck
So she asked him to fuck
He jumped on and fucked her to bits.
His neighbor he solemnly told,

With affection he acted quite phony.

She’d always been thought of as homely.

One night while he sucked on her tits.

So she asked him to fuck
He jumped on and fucked her to bits.

Ringside
Tracy takes me to Ringside Steakhouse the day before my birthday
We get our entrees at 9:30 PM.
I've flown from Phoenix to Portland
Spent Thanksgiving with my sister
Then taken the train to Tacoma to visit old friends
By the time a bus gets me back to Portland, it's late and I'm not very hungry
I haven't seen Tracy in 14 years
and it's only the second time seeing him in almost twenty
He's not on social media, so I didn't know how to age him in my mind
I never thought of him as fat,
but he's lost something like 50 pounds ...

It's not over when you lose
From within the inner vibes of my life, 🤔 I had to come to accept what my life, has and will become for with each reason. I had to fight back with MY OWN strength and courage as my.personal devil's.😈 Be standing in the darkness, as they hide behind a mask. THAT entered into the deepness of my life, as well as my body and mind. 😞 For sure I remember that day as if it just happen yesterday, 🤔 when my whole life changed right before my own eyes 👁️ 👁️ For I remember that moment when the pain became to hard to 🐻 and sleepless...

Being Put In (The Ground)
Being put in (the ground)
Little mans ballin
As I keep my nose to the wheel
Know it’s in him
Can’t wait til his 1st game
I watch him in wonder
Learn as much from him
As I try to give
Learn as much from him
As I try to teach
Wonder of youth
Everyone wants it
But grow up…
And you can’t get it back
As hard as we try
Gettin old really sucks
Not the knowledge…it’s great
But when your body can’t
Respond
Wonder of youth
Everyone wants it
But we grow up ...

Love is…
An obligation carved across
the leaves of stone, genetic book
of life, sometimes diluted by a loss
of love given by those supposed to look
to your development, give care.
I can’t say my genetic book will close.
I still receive its meanings now, for those
I’ve long since disavowed, would soak
in time, indifference. We don’t deserve
but neither are we unworthy of love.
It glows in darkness like a bellied stove,
its heat sometimes a secret thing.
