who were we fooling
all those times that
went before us when
we were as young as
a new spring rising
going downtown on
a Friday or Saturday
shopping for clothes,
records, having lunch
laughing too loud
cursing too much
asking to bum a
smoke from a friend
sneaking a six pack
we were unafraid,
immortal and forver
beautiful like an oil
painting by Vermeer
believing we knew
the world better than ...

Breakfast at McPherson's
Sat down in the booth next to uncle Dick's table
Karla comes with coffee and a hello
haven't seen you in forever
how you doing she responded with a smile one cream or two
Theron Targareon is telling me about his dragons
while uncle Dick is holding court on his side of the room
i yell over tell him he's nothing but trouble
with a smile and a wink he says that makes two
Bruce and Mclaren. Jim and Ginger some guy I recognize from school
filling up an open table and quiet corner booth
some kid from the back...

He was dressed in his finest suit as he lay in his casket under the rotunda. Pat’s Aunt Mercy lay in her bed in a room off the big room. Her name was Pat and her duty was to sneak bourbon and whiskey to get Auntie drunk enough not to cry. She kept Pat on her feet as she went to the kitchen to get Auntie booze. Aunt Mercy ushered in her widowhood with gin and tonic with lime on the rocks. At twenty-one Pat was still girlish but old enough to learn how to mix drinks during a wake. Her bridegroom, Bob, was huddled with the men but quiet as a church mouse while letting...

Backwards slow(ly)
All day I felt like it, You know when You almost feel like
Vomiting nothing?
And then on into my afternoon, I felt like it.
Then in the evening came the tears but still no bile
No sulfuric acid
No release.
I nearly saw You in life
almost every postmortem
of affection
amidst my tears I thought,
“ HELL YEAH …..i’m a slow return (to)
back
back
back
backwards, me”
Last night You felt me distancing myself from You
From us.
Yes
Today it is more so
only stronger and with...
Vomiting nothing?
And then on into my afternoon, I felt like it.
Then in the evening came the tears but still no bile
No sulfuric acid
No release.
I nearly saw You in life
almost every postmortem
of affection
amidst my tears I thought,
“ HELL YEAH …..i’m a slow return (to)
back
back
back
backwards, me”
Last night You felt me distancing myself from You
From us.
Yes
Today it is more so
only stronger and with...

Melatonin
I used to dream a rockstar dream
then I realized it wasn't for me
so I started writing poetry
gave me a bit of that feeling
looking back at my life
I had a lot of wonderful moments
like when I first met my wife
we lived apart but made it work
when I finally held her
I promised to never let go
oh melatonin
send me a dream
make it the best I've ever seen
of all the great moments in my life
come rushing back at one time
playing old games on my snes
making foods that my mom used to make
pretending...

That Was Then. This Is Now.
At first, nobody liked Betty.
She was nothing more than a nerd.
But that was high school.
We saw her at Roger's bachelor party.
She looked so hot in that dress.
She was nothing more than a nerd.
But that was high school.
We saw her at Roger's bachelor party.
