High coo'

4:50 AM
Eating crackers, work at nine
I must be crazy

Fall

They're calling it a business now
Selling your soul
to get Rick-rolled
Or were you sick that day?
Either way, the benefits suck.

----
America the Beautiful
Can I kiss you? You're so beautiful
You really look great tonight
Have you lost weight?

I had a Parsnip for the first time.
Well, probably not the first time.
But the first time I knew it.
It was pretty good,
I had it with Brussel Sprouts

+++
I passed by New York
34,000 drops away;
wishing I could fall and tell
the ways I fell for you.

Smile

You are simply marvelously incredibly enchantingly stupendously infinitely wonderfully alluringly incredibly charmingly stupefyingly gracefully beautifully astonishingly stuck in a rut.

Let me know how that works out for you.

Thither

Hither, thither, thither and yon

whenever we meet it's never for long

As soon as we land, you're up and gone

to the next Destination

the next life to try on,

the next moment waiting to join your past

counting the footsteps you outgrow so fast

tracking the progress and age of your heart

as it swells up, breaks, and tries to restart

For each fresh adventure 

I follow anew

wherever you are,

however you choose,

though my body is still

my thoughts move with you.

When we'll meet next

I don't really know

but you are my friend,

that's forever.

So smile

and Go.

Visit

Christmas in the sticks
Time to leave my concrete home
our Jungle's gotten crowded
while my country stayed alone.
Now Moments from the past
will age and reappear;
When I leave I will keep searching
for what I can't find here.

Flying

So many nights
I dream the air
great company
awaits up there
But every time
I touch the sky
I find myself
in the dirt,
like rain.

or, mud.
I guess.

Shoestring Poetry

How long did it take this morning,
deciding that today you would
relegate yourself to the sex toy aisle?
I should say something about
degradation or stereotypes or something.
Damn you've got an ass.

She spends the ride telling her mom
how disappointed she is in her brother
for his willingness to take
what he hasn't earned.
I want to lift her chin
so she can see
how beautiful the sunset is tonight.

A boy and a middle aged guy
with a skateboard
board the train.
The boy tells Blonde jokes,
the guy tells dirty jokes with crass language.
They laugh and smile.
This kid will be real popular next recess.

~~

Sit down next to a man in uniform
smell of cigarettes and sweat,
at least he's found a cause.
That's something.
