  • I Cry…

    too much  For days that will never come again For feelings, that I felt back then Which are only memories now For people, who promised never to leave Whom, now, I don’t even know I weep for places I used to love that  No longer exist in the world. I cry

  • Wishing for a Meteor

    Wishing for a meteor  To strike me from above I long to leave this world of woe I lost all that I loved. I never had a lover though A fucker though for sure Not like Polly Harvey was  A-knocking at the door!

  • I Want to Travel Back in Time

    Straight to the 1990’s. I want to re-experience them I hate that they’re behind me. I know that I can do this if I  Could just master time.That whole decade still exists Although we’re left behind.

  • Hark, a Sonnet

    Hark, the bell is tolling for us all.For we allowed the wicked to succeed.The world we’ve built is destined soon to fall.For we’ve allowed the greedy men to lead.And they are greedy purely for greed’s sakeFor who can be fulfilled extracting moreFrom Mother Earth than Mother Earth can take?Humanity’s a thing that I deplore.Most ev’ry…

  • It was the Winters, Really

    It was the winters, really. I can see it rather clearly When resources waned severely We just had to put up stores. Winter created fear We wouldn’t make it through the year— When the wildlife disappeared. So we started to hoard. That was the end’s beginning When the Earth shifted its spinning And we thought…

  • I Thought I Saw a Dinosaur

    That had to be a dinosaur I just saw cross the road! A fearsome beast with talons greased A fairly hefty load. I only got a glance of her Then she went in the bush. But what I saw, it frightened me, That therapodic toosh. Something from another age Definitely old. A mesozoic ancient beast…

  • Cottage in the Valley

    It was morning in the valley Where the cottage stood alone In a spot in Northern Cali Where the wildcat used to roam. She set out for the market She wore her Sunday best He paid little attention To the regal way she dressed. Out the door, she hurried With panache and with a grin.…

  • A Man is a Man

    A man is a man, You can tell with a lamp— Diogenes says— But you’d call him a tramp. A dog is a dog If you bite when he barks For who is the man? And who is the mark? A beggar is rich For he knows more than you. Why should you toil, Or…

  • Take Me Back

    to Saturday Cartoons To dial-tone phones and men on the Moon Leave this entire decade here I will live in yesteryear.

  • I Want to Travel

    back in time.Straight to the 1990’s. I want to re-experience them I hate that they’re behind me. I know that I can do this if I  Could just master time.That whole decade still exists Although we’re left behind.

  • Hell’s Empty

    Hell’s a little empty cuz the Devil’s up here. Well, he came around the city and we had a few beers. I hear he found a little lady and he always gets paid. May have come a little early but at least he got laid. If you see him comin’ for ya try to go…

  • No Title

    Bitten by Medusa’s hair, I’m poisoned and I’m stoned. Lie with me—we’ll be a pair— I dare not sleep alone.

  • An Explanation

    I am indebted to beauty As I am indebted to eyes. And I am indebted to sound As I am indebted to ears. The funny thing is it’s illusion You aren’t even seeing what’s real. You’re only being shown the portion you need To see to survive in your world. Unfortunate beings, are we That,…

  • I Saw a Girl in the Bush

    I saw a girl just in the bush Out of my corner-eye She smiled at me and then she blushed And then she waved goodbye The glimpse of her was oh so brief It might not e’en be real Was it just a thought I had In my automobile?

  • Nine

    This pandemic’s got me going mad. It really feels like it will never end. I’ve tried to use the excess time I’ve had To be productive to productive ends. If you’re like me you’re losing half your mind Just trying to keep busy and keep safe. This isolation is a galling grind. And public recreation…
