The world’s a lot less kind
than I thought it’d be.
But I‘m still here -
broken, tired,
with a grin on my face
and a smoke in my hand.

party

the
smell
of the
barbecue grill
taunts
my hunger pains
I walk on by
uninvited
with no place
to
go.

Becoz

There once was a munchkin from Oz
Named Phineas Entwhistle Boz:
The Lollipop Guild
Had Phineas killed:
Their reason, they said, was becoz.

I wrote to myself
a note to myself
but forgot where
I put it.

Feeling down today
Friends I knew in younger days
Won't come out to play

Today Is running slow
Yesterday's dying fast
Tomorrow is in the works

I know how life is
People always let you down
Yet , the world still turns
