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

He was born to die
Trying to stay positive
He was told 4 months
Trying to stay positive

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
Deteriorate

I Hate You :)
Slowly fading
Shaking limbs
Cut wires in the brain
By the enemy’s hand
I want to see you while you still remember me.

She Really Doesn't Know That He's Impotent.
Tracy sat next to
the fireplace with her bathrobe
and both legs open
and looking like she's trying
to seduce her friend Robert.

She Really Is Sick... In A Big Way
Erica is naked
and moaning
due to some
xenobiotic bug
inside her.

years after his stroke, who knew?
she speaks up for me in situations when in company I can barely swallow what they’re saying, “my husband struggles, talking to people like you ..”

Dreamy and rosy
Look outside
It is cloudy
Dark
But dreamy
And rosy
This time
Unlike one hour before
My dearest pill.
It is cloudy
Dark
But dreamy
And rosy
This time
Unlike one hour before
My dearest pill.
