However much time there is
it's never enough.
Swinging myself out of bed
thinking I'm Tarzan
but looking like Cheeta.

needs a shave, will travel.
not like
Will Shakespeare,

extraneous drivel?
but
it gets me through
and
makes me stronger
The doctor said,
I'll live much longer
if
I gave up smoking.

Shredded Wheat tastes like strawberries and cream
or they do in my dream,

anyhow
time to grow up now
become
Action Man
maybe
Superman
make that plan
and move on.
The twentieth century
was it good for you?
it wasn't for me.

I am to blame
I came

laid down on the floor
and
let it trample all over me.

Something in her voice
ethereal
more unreal than real,
it
makes me feel

What I see
And hear in this world
Often doesn’t
Add up

Interpret things on a off keel

Book smart

The school of
Hard knocks

In our own
Way who am I
To judge

I’m going to continue
To write
The way I see fit
What makes me comfortable
Might not
Be for everyone else

But that’s fine
You don’t have to pay attention
Most of you are strangers
To each his own
Be you I’ll be me
