Our group filled
summer weekends
with fishing or camping.
Weekends are now
lonely.
People dissipate as smoke.
All that remains
are memories.

Engagement

The ignorant
who oppose
political discourse
are not enlightened.
The American experience
is an ongoing
debate.
Freedom is a continual
fight.

Car Wash

I needed cash for diapers.
The boss smelled
my desperation.
‘Muck out the floor drains.’
They stunk of *****.
No one else did it,
only me.

‘***?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘Ugh.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Now?’
‘Ok.’

Champions ignore temptations
of ****** and tramps
Warriors push past
crooks with legs
and stay on the path to
win the love of
the best
woman

Working a job
is about performing tasks
that earn the boss
more money
than he’ll ever pay.
Our choices are simple:
conform
starve or
rebel.
