my joints seethe at the pressure exerted,
it rips upward until high off the ground,
I hear the excited cries of my kid.

See it flying
See it slowing

of things I’m blessed with regardless of wealth.
It lets others see that I’m truly caring,
not given to be seen but done so in...

Pepe's Coffee Lounge
I was one of the cool set,
navy blue duffle coat, scarf around
my neck, seated at a table
in Pepe's Coffee Lounge
discussing Baudelaire
and T.S. Eliot and the demise
of the political elites.
The conscription ballot hung

about the past
regret for time mislaid
What’s done is gone
all swans in song

Shackling His TongueI am frustrated and annoyed by his ticking,
or perhaps it should be labeled the 'tocking'

in the language better known as 'clocking'

Four o'clock
At four o'clock,
Your world wakes:
My dainty array
Of a rainbow vale.

Obey - without a fight -
The alarm clock in your mind....

we shouldn’t live life in depravity.
We cannot alter the hands of time,
nor learn what amount remains.
But...
