Immune Response
Among blood cells dying
eosinophils flaunt generous histamines
in justified killing .
Lymphocytes muster
nodes overfilled, pus
quickly ruptures
spewing
to unfathomable volumes
with xanthic yellow
zealotry.

too tired
i wake up
each morning
with more
physical pain,
(except
when i
sleep for
a few
hours during
my day),
than i don't
want to
continue
enduring,
ailments
it seems
i inherited
from my
mother,
and knowing
that the
government
refuses to
compensate
me fully
does not
help an
already bad
situation.

Sticky green mischief
Nose's hidden treasure falls
Silent sneeze secrets

tonic ..

HALFWAY THERE (I)-(original draft) (East Flagship Hotel Pier Jetty, Galveston Island Texas; 1-29-1997)
i took a trolley
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there

Trying to stay positive
He was told 4 months

Spring = Misery
Allergic sickness
Springtime weeds, grass, mold, pollen
Dependent on drugs

Who am I?
Today my name is?
Damn, I'm really not certain
