I’m fully digestible.
And the taste of me won’t linger
on your tongue long after I’m gone.
A sweet little tidbit;
a miraculous morsel.
Watch me melt in your hands
and not in your mouth.

you were freckled
by the sun and your genes
and every time you looked at me
oh, i felt weak in the knees

and its not like i couldn't see
the flaws in your design
the warning signs
or the gears turning in your mind

but i chose to ignore them
because it might be over now
but i'll always have that summer
settled in your freckled arms

10:37
See my sons today
Will I ever get to Istanbul?
La playa for to play

My mom was from Toledo
Ohio not yon Spain
My life is little joys
Amidst a lot of pain

English breakfast tea
I sit at the bar
Exoplanets spin
I wonder if you are

Inhabited or not
Are we, in fact, alone?
Diana Walsh Pasulka
The call of the unknown

               Roam Rome

My angels know their demons
My demons know their twins
Which ones will is stronger?
Which ones will will wins?
Took a boat from Stockholm
Sang for Swedes and Finns
The Dark Knight always rises
After Batman he Begins

                     Chicago!

I set my sights salvation
Stupid thing to do
Now I'm only lonely
Souped up 72

Got a little money
It won't last too long
La Florida is sunny
George W. was wrong

America is ugly
But Charleston is nice
Dante and Beatrice
He only saw her twice

I was born too late
We face annihilation
If I could I surely would
Educate my nation

       Probably cremation

It’s late April
spring is in full swing
bursting with life
the tree lifts its arms,
waves across the field,
its leaves full of light
flutter in perfect rhythm
with the wind.

The train is leaving the station
the years gathering toward my finish line.
Each season a child frantically
waving at his grandpa
as if to whimper
this might be the last time.

One moment I am high
with the light of soulfulness within.
The next I am down
in the clutch of desire
and enticements.

the garbage can is out back
top tight to contain the stench
clean on the outside
a model can among cans
but inside drips my hidden waste
next garbage day I’ll have more for it
