in 1955, I took a bus to a cove where a ship anchored
along the ship's railing, a group of scowling men passing
time passing, the time spitting into the water.
In the galley, the cook was cleaning his nails using a fish knife
I giant man no one dared to cross him. a friend for life.
With a hardheaded crew and a million cockroaches, a new chapter had begun.

poverty no soap could rinse away, felt a kinship with them
and they were kind to me a boy peeling their potatoes. ...

home at the ranch
Home at the Ranch
Once, I had a big ranch in, Oregon, technically it is still mine
but I have no way to prove it
one day and far from the ranch, inspecting fences, sudden
cold storm hit, to survive, I shot my horse
cut his stomach open, crept inside, and quickly fell asleep
Awoke, when the storm was over, looked for my horse was gone
maybe a wolf pack had taken its carcass
I walked, or trotted, home to the ranch
the ranch hands were glad to see me and gave me a carrot
although I neighed, they put me in the corral

Some Days
Some days just suck
and won't let me off of bed,
pulling my comforter up, tucking feet in tight,
my down alternative filled castle walls
protecting me from the world
Some days I'm sick of coffee,
that morning shot of instant positivity,
thinking bah humbug,
the world needs to deal with me
and not the other way around
Some days I just want to cry,
if only I knew why,
crying for homeless people,
or maybe everybody being mean
oh, that poor flattened squirrel on the road
Some days just suck
if only I...

small forest
small forest
The small forest or the woods by the white road
made of crushed sea-shells, was a place of enchantment
Squirrels played here and had no fear of lone dreamers
stumbling over oak roots.
I used to walk there when cows had
been milked, fed
and the mucking out was done,
fresh strew strewn
in stalls, and the barn had contented animals
I could do so many things in the forest, be an Indian or
take out my pocket phonographic book,
the milkmaid
gave me and masturbated.
especially drawn to pictures of cunnilingus women ...

And I didn't have to hurt you,
But you said not to move,
The fleeing it fails me, Confront and impale me, It's true.
I'm bleeding.
Waking up and breathing but you don't care, short tempered and seething when its not fair.
Living and feeling and being aware.
Sometimes life will throw you a curve and just in spite of it you will learn to preserve, All the things you love,
Like to live and thrive,
But there is no place to hide
Or get away from this.
My mind needs a crutch,
No room for your shoves,
Said something about love,
Blind...

Moscov
Moskov
the tragedy in Ruslan was grim, committed
by ISIS, we are led to believe because they said
the mass murder, and now ISIS is truthful?
When Putin pointed a finger at Ukraine
the world's acolyte press said he was wrong
Thousands of people laid flowers where
the murder happened, we saw grieving people
but the Foreign Press didn't dwell too long
it was noted the average Russian's looked
prosperous in the Modern Moskov.
if the assailants had been ISIS, they would
not fled but stood their ground until they
were...

the fisher man
The Lonely Fisherman
He sat on a rowing boat in the fjord
he wore a yellow
raincoat and a southwestern cap matching his coat
was like seeing a French movie, an intellectual one
I couldn’t stand by the window all-day
reading sat on the sofa reading a novel
a book too long, a mind-numbing love story.
I read several pages, then gave up and looked out of the window
the boat was there,
and his cap was floating like a life raft for
I held my breath had he drowned, then the man got
up he had fallen in his boat, perhaps slipped on a...

For now, only ghosts can see
I salvaged the happiest photo today
It lays crippled at best inside
A promising vision
If you’d like to see then…
My skull only needs to be cracked open!
How despicable it is
To frame misery
Encase these torturous moments
Detain it to eyes of the living
You don’t need a too take a picture
It’s a lot easier to attend the upcoming funeral
And take a good look at my dead body!
For now and ever fantasy
Only ghost can see
Do you dare to walk through me?

road kill
Roadkill
the wizened winter landscape was now green
and amongst olive trees, long-legged sheep grazed;
their pastor and, on occasions, executioner, sat on
a boulder casting dreams into the future man and
beast, rustic peace, pity I didn't have a camera.
On my way to the village to buy the papers, a sheep
had been run over by a truck, with its stomach burst
open and its content glinting in the sun, it was still
alive. Ah, you dumb animal abandoned by everyone
it looked at me without any hope of deliverance,
so I reversed my car and ran...

Some days we just have to show up
We see it every day
in the vacant look
of people we love
or a strangers silent plea
Staring, just staring at mothing at all
not even seeing our dreams
as if the soul is on hold
and we're playing a role
A commitment to life
that's worn us out
and we're too tired to compete
in the rat race of existence
These are the bad days
as dishes pile up in the sink
feeling hungover getting out of bed
because we just don't care
Everything is harder
even putting on socks *why bother*
wearing...

Tristesse
I saw an old man
he wore a sailor cap
sat on a bench
near the town's lake
he cried
not understanding
why, he was no longer
young
and a mariner
of the seven seas

I have always liked cars and like driving often for pleasure

I have driven both, and apart from the hard seat
