sorry, I thought you’d be out.
“sorry?
this isn’t the nineteen seventies,
you’ve got a phone in
your pocket.”

Bring you back home
Dreamed 'bout you last night
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...

Blood Sucking Bugs
Flies annoy and Bzz Bzz Bzz around,
as long as there's garbage they'll always be found
One year as a kid I killed two flies
Placed them in my brother's burger,
devoured, with some shoe string fries
I recall a kid who lived a few blocks away
The family was dirt-poor,
his home needed to be sprayed
Every time I saw him he was insanely scratching his head
His hair was greasy and wild,
fingertips looked bloody red
I later found out that he was carrying lice
Filthy family they were,
house was inundated with mice
I was...

Bliss
Swimming through sunbeams
Just trying to reach infinity for you
Flying with whispered wind
Feeling a little low
Knowing that you know
I grow transparent with every
Saturated spill of words
Babble is all that comes through
As my awe for you grew
"Would you like to dance?"
Is all my stunted stupid self
Could muster to such a beautiful girl
I turn to walk myself into rejection
When a quiet "sure" permeated and
Drowned the dazing music to exile
A flirtatious smile sent me high into
The heavens,...
Just trying to reach infinity for you
Flying with whispered wind
Feeling a little low
Knowing that you know
I grow transparent with every
Saturated spill of words
Babble is all that comes through
As my awe for you grew
"Would you like to dance?"
Is all my stunted stupid self
Could muster to such a beautiful girl
I turn to walk myself into rejection
When a quiet "sure" permeated and
Drowned the dazing music to exile
A flirtatious smile sent me high into
The heavens,...

Popeye, dump that bitch Olive Oyl
Where's me spinach, Olive Oyl?
Why blow me over, Olive Oyl?
Diamonds are a girls best friend, says Olive Oyl
That's malarchy, Olive Oyl
Popeye, you and Bluto need to fight over me, whoever wins can take me out dancing, says Olive Oyl
Will Popeye ever dump that bitch Olive Oyl?

Suffering Succotash
Couldn't Warner Brothers just once, have Sylvester the Cat eat that little wise ass Tweety Bird?
Sure, there were a few cartoons where Sylvester manages to briefly eat Tweety up, but usually Granny or some other character makes Sylvester spit Tweety out of his mouth.
It's a damn shame, since this cat needed his protein.
Sylvester never had a break. Always getting pummeled by Granny, Spike the Bulldog or even Tweety Bird.
There was even some early episodes where he's paired up with Porky Pig. Porky Pig would scold him, since Sylvester was a scaredy cat and would get Porky...

Sweets
I still remember the scent.
Of chocolate,wet cement.
When I was still a child.
And all of the pain was mild.
I remember the scent of pastries.
With cream and chocolate chips.
I remember her cookies.
So good,you would lick your lips.
And maybe homemade,vanilla cake.
That you and your family would make.
Maybe the scent and taste of caramel.
If only I could remember the smell.
I would have a fairytale to tell.
One day,I will also try to bake.
Maybe while painting an ethereal lake.
I will...

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 ...
Little mans ballin
As I keep my nose to the wheel

As I try to teach

Ghostly Encounter On The Beach
Broderick
went to the beach for some
peace and quiet only to see his
old high school flame Judy walking towards the tide
coming in. But when he rushed over
to his long lost love, she
disappeared.

Happiness
I've searched for happiness
Underneath all of God's
Vast skies
Walked the empty streets
Of a fading town
About to die
Trying my best to find
The secret to the
Elusive dream
I'm starting to wonder
If everything is really
The way it seems
Coolness of the night
Surrounds me in a lost
Feeling of warmth
Just like the bright
Exploding lights
Of July fourth
Laying on the grass
Looking up at the stars
Memories beating through my heart
I hear a voice...
Underneath all of God's
Vast skies
Walked the empty streets
Of a fading town
About to die
Trying my best to find
The secret to the
Elusive dream
I'm starting to wonder
If everything is really
The way it seems
Coolness of the night
Surrounds me in a lost
Feeling of warmth
Just like the bright
Exploding lights
Of July fourth
Laying on the grass
Looking up at the stars
Memories beating through my heart
I hear a voice...

Eclipsed by Time - Tanka
Falling leaves whisper,
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth
