An orange and white wig stand
Ignorance wandered
lost in the vast unknown.
Faith stood firm
as a beacon in the night.
They met by chance,
two souls adrift.
In the space between
no doubt and disbelief.
Ignorance questioned,
seeking answers,
Faith offered solace,
a gentle embrace.
Together they danced,
in the twilight
of misunderstanding.
Finding beauty
in their conveniences.
In their union,
an acrimony emerged.
A void that transcended
their indifferences.
lost in the vast unknown.
Faith stood firm
as a beacon in the night.
They met by chance,
two souls adrift.
In the space between
no doubt and disbelief.
Ignorance questioned,
seeking answers,
Faith offered solace,
a gentle embrace.
Together they danced,
in the twilight
of misunderstanding.
Finding beauty
in their conveniences.
In their union,
an acrimony emerged.
A void that transcended
their indifferences.

My birthday breakdown last year...
My last breakdown....
...was my birthday 2023.
My father would have been 86.
I turned 49. I knew him less
than 6 months of my adult life.
My mother had kept us apart...
told each of us the other was dead...
this was before the Internet boomed.
Before we all had cell phones. All those lost years. Then he died. We shared a birthday.
We never got to share that birthday together. So, every year since '97 that day has haunted me. It was nothing special as a child...no presents...no cake! It COULD HAVE BEEN so special if Dad had...

Souls of Mangled Crows
Ghostly soliloquy whispered a shadow without sun
evil souls of mangled crows soaring for eternity
haunting the living draining shadows of their souls
beating their wings in the descent of decadent scent
tapping at windows and doors with the fear of hell
waiting for the Sandman to bring you dreams
or the Boogieman to cut off your toes
evil souls of mangled crows soaring for eternity
haunting the living draining shadows of their souls
beating their wings in the descent of decadent scent
tapping at windows and doors with the fear of hell
waiting for the Sandman to bring you dreams
or the Boogieman to cut off your toes

today in the news
have you ever had the
experience of driving
on a winters day
and running into a patch
of black ice
and all of a sudden you
lose your wheels from
beneath you
and the world feels as
out of control as a
drunken college party
and your not sure of
what direction your
going
well...
just turn on the
news
experience of driving
on a winters day
and running into a patch
of black ice
and all of a sudden you
lose your wheels from
beneath you
and the world feels as
out of control as a
drunken college party
and your not sure of
what direction your
going
well...

same streets
mid victorian london saw dickens
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep

Sorry
He's yelling at me.
Why did you put your clothes in my dresser drawer?
Why?
That's crazy!
It's MY house
Not yours
i'm scared
i think i may have filled up two drawers
maybe three
a red sweater on top in one
but didn't i live with him for a while?
no
right
never
not at all
when he leaves
i'll remove everything
except my shame
that will take a while

habits die harder in nightmares
It was like one of those
cigarette dreams where you smoke
(or drink or break your
sobriety)
and get pissed at
yourself
but do it anyway
Filthy habits always seem
to die
harder in dreams
So it was with us
last night
We stood on
opposite sides
of a cursed door
foreheads pressed
eyes closed
palms flat
as if we could
transmogrify
the sick regret
to anything
anything
else
through the...

Dreaming of Home
I woke up beside you, in a house that we own,
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...

Oh, Man !
Some of the people i meet
Are so deeply depressed
And the rest of the street
Are so tightly stressed
Some habits i know
Dramatically reversed
From Omega to Alpha
A playback regressed
The morning becomes night
Sleeping starts at 7 . a.m
And the dark turns to light
Wasting health late in night clubs
