Once Upon a Time
Once upon time should be how we start every story Whether poignant slice of life or adventure and glory Tear-fraught tragedy, where in the end, the hero dies Perhaps a really steamy romance where everyone lies Maybe your once upon a time is aimed into the future Perhaps biographies, travel books, or you’re into […]
Love is All
Ancient before time Impenetrable void waited Crawled from its atomic shell Instantaneous illumination flared Newborn This moment A swirling figure Moves, is every moment Innocently wise Hopeful, in constant conflict Cooperation in every interchange Full of wonder, every and all stories Worth living for Growing, expansive Worth dying for, each instant All mirrored within the […]
Standing on My Head
This morning I decided I would start wearing My whole head right on the bottom of my feet It means I will no longer get to wear an earring But I’ll see where I’m walking down the street I’ve decided to leave my nose to sit atop my neck That way, I can smell […]
Nary a Thought or Care
My cat has come to like me, at least that’s what I think, Kneads me hard; her sharp claws into my soft skin sink. Clearly her inflicting pain must be a sign of her affection C’mon, she is a cat, but maybe not after serious reflection Dogs worship us, even though they’ll yank us […]

Self Portrait Recollections and Reflections When I was a young boy, I larked about, didn’t have a care I think because I wasn’t self-reflective, somewhat unaware I lived then within the moment, I’m not sure when I stopped No thoughts of fate or destiny, just adventures to be topped Maybe my awareness shifted in a […]
The First Night
A little white chapel on a neighborhood street Stands in a small California city, quite complete History adorns it from its whitewash to its style Those who remember most have a ghostly smile As eyes close or turn inward while they recollect No one who’s now alive remembers every aspect Early days tell that […]
Crusade to End Public Torture
More certain and more frightening than death and taxes More pervasive, deadly and inevitable than a pandemic It will drive you buttier than a batterfly, watch the nets Wag your finger, shake your fist, hang your head and cry The presentation may be good, but you’ve seen it all before If you ever liked […]
