Last Minute PoemI wrote this at the last minute.
You know,
the minute before, I raced out the door.
I scrawled it out until the paper tore.
The thoughts I wanted to convey
about another hurried, scrambled day.
I spilled and splattered...

All hail The Silver Skins (with nudity optional)
Not another effort from The Lefts bleating masses, but the sparkily aristocracy of cerebral-celebritys; their binary-duality sweeping earth-wise.

Hide and Seek KingWhen I was young, I liked to play
With other kids on my block.
To backyards, front yards, everywhere,
For fun, we would all flock.
Every sport and game we played,
When one kid on a losing streak
Resolved with single-mindedness

Missives From a Massacre 1It's time
To bring back
The days
Weeks
Months
We spent locked in combat

To wade through
The bones

Hearts
That still yearn for you

Inter-DimensionI'm the version of you that didn't break.
Didn't shatter into useless pieces, broken haggardly upon the floor.
I can feel you,
See you,
Hear you,
Smell you sulking in the wind.
Battered and bellowing upon the breeze.
Like plastic.
Caustic and cautious.
Remember...

InvisibleNo one ever comments on my poems.
Does anybody see them?
The view counter says yes, but I wonder
Does anybody read them?
Maybe they are just rubbish,
Maybe they are no good.

I Crave The Light You Bring EverydayDo not be envious of the water that waters another's yard
The grass is always greener, and a reason for their trivial mirth

Comfortable ErosionI feel myself trapped in an endless repetition
Effortless to rationalize each day away

A hazy clearness in a cold dark room
The four walls that comfort me most

flew up to me --
buzzing, all a-fuss
in my face:
myself, about to clip a
flowering weed~ using
fancy, dynamic, power mover --
apparently, the bee
hadn’t yet finished his
morning shopping hour….
The mower wants...

Demon RadioEmbroiled in
Pre-dawn delusions
Assuming the
Cloud covered moon is
Destroying its symbolism
For my own amusement
As the parking lot becomes
Mystical, enlightened
Full of
Ambient apparitions
Of the eternal type
With the coyotes barking
And my
Inner self yawning
I see an old radio
Centered in the...
