Exploration
Some people say
the universe will
soon end.
But, would any father
give his children a book
and take it away
before they’ve read
every page?

Self-Inflicted
Sometimes before bed
I pray in a rush
as a chore
On those nights
I sleep in torture
and awake groggy
wondering why
I didn’t seek
true peace

Blood, Always
Living among family
is a constant barrage
of chaos
love
and guilt.
We hope and search
for tranquility
only to discover
it does not
exist.

While writing, a college girl
walked out of a nearby can.
‘You were in there a while,’ I said.
‘You’re not funny.’
‘Yes I am.’
‘*******.’

Life Happens
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.

‘Please?’
‘No.’
‘Please?’

Will Work for Food
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.

Resist and Reward
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
