Between The *******
I march to a different drummer My life it is my own I'm an explorer of experience That is how I'm known I've seen snow in South Dakota I've been on the Vegas strip Had barbeque in Kansas My life has been a trip I'm a gypsy of the railways I'm a legend in my time I move on in a boxcar Brother... spare a dime? I've been through all the landlocked states Five provinces as well I've seen Niagara Falls all frozen I've seen it flowing fast as well I've had margaritas in Key West And Bourbon in Kentucky Craft beers out in Oregon In my life I have been lucky I travel on my stories Feed myself with all my tales I'm an explorer of experience I'm a gypsy of the rails I never stick around too long I don't wear my welcome out I come and see just what I want That's what life is all about I've railroad friends in Texas Some up in BC too We've shared drinks in San Diego And had a great Alaskan brew I'm not one to live by your rules I find my rules suit me fine I'm an explorer of experience And I'm riding on the lines You can find me down in Georgia Or eating spuds in Idaho I never know just where I'll be Until my ride begins to go I'm a gypsy of the railways I'm a legend in my time I move on in a boxcar Brother...spare a dime?

Gypsy of the Railways
Mark A. Williams                             SEPTEMBER 14, 1962 – JULY 23, 2018 ___________________________________________________________ Wow Mark, Was so, so saddened to hear this news. I haven't seen you in over ten years, but as kids, we had some amazing adventures, didn't we? Partying, camping and swimming at the Hudson lime pits. Mowing down on Pizza and pitchers of Pepsi (and as we grew up, BEER!) at Pizza Hut. (We knew the numbers to ALL the songs on that jukebox by heart!) Hanging out and looking at the stars through Budvido's telescope, listening to Doctor Demento. Laughing hysterically as we ran through Monty Python skits as everyone looked on in total puzzlement because THEY wouldn't discover them until YEARS later! Building underground forts in the North Woods. You, Budvido, Zeke and I playing pinball at 7-11 for hours and hours. Watching Bands, chasing girls and playing Foosball or Pool at the Touch of Class Teen Club. You gave me my first Imported beer . . . a Lowenbrau. I will always owe my passion for those German beers to you and it was fitting that Budvido bestowed you with that moniker. All through Jr. High, sharing a seat on the school bus. You, Matt, Tom, Buddy and I cruising around late night on our bikes for hours. Hanging around in the Jasmine Lakes sign with hijacked beer or getting free bags of Burgers from Burger Queen when they closed at night! Jousting with shopping carts on our bikes in the Winn-Dixie parking lot. Sitting up all night in Jimi's room after climbing in through the window or going on endless space cruises with him and Raymond in the Toyota. (RIP Jimi Carlsen) Sneaking into the nudest Colony and skinny dipping! Always cracking up at the school lunch table. Swimming in my pool and terrorizing my sister and her friends. (Allegedly) Trashing that crook Fast Eddie's produce stand after he refused to pay us for a full day of picking watermelons! Good times, indeed . . . Some of my most precious memories. I can only pray that you know that I wouldn't trade my youth or you in it for anything in the world and you will be sadly missed, Lowenbrau, my old friend. I hope that where you are, your beers are ice cold and that you and Jimi aren't having to glue the Hookah back together. Jeff Gaines July 28, 2018

Borderline Personality Disorder. 1. The other day I woke up and thought I knew who I was I fell asleep and somewhere in between I lost myself I lost the feeling in my stomach too but we're still talking about how much we have in common. 2. My sweater got stuck on the hanger this morning I started to rip it down eventually I broke plastic and skin. I haven't been back in my room since. 3. 12:06 PM Today my best friend came home and took most of our makeup 12:07 PM I messaged her and mocked our friendship. 12:07 PM She was in trouble with her grandma and had to hurry. She didn't know. 12:08 PM I broke down crying. 4. I woke up at 7:32 AM and took 4 shots drank 2 beers smoked four bowls drank half a bottle of NyQuil and woke up the next day. I have yet to figure out why. 5. I wanted to be a horse trainer for 9 years then I decided I wanted to be an artist worked on becoming a tattoo artist matured into a writer fell in love with photography now I'm not even sure if I like school. 6.

Blessed are we all to live in a time when the love of Craft beer exceeds that for wine. Hops, malt and barley all now rule the day When brewed up together in a nice I.P.A. Who cares if some hipsters choose to babble away about hints of oak in some obscure Chardonnay. We are no longer limited to our father’s Budweiser. The vast choice of beers would astound those old timers! Cherry Wheat, pumpkin, and Oktoberfest You’ll fall down on your face ere you’ve tried all the rest. As Ben Franklin stated wittily and succinctly” “Beer is the proof God meant man to be happy.”

The Golden Age of Beer
between the concrete river & the park where the bums share a bottle wrapped in a brown paper sack, there is a cul-de-sac of plastic houses holding hands & sharing manicured lawns wooden cars that don't even make any smoke drive down gray asphalt streets. fathers that tell mothers they have jobs wear down street corners sharing beers with the bums, like they already are one. all these paper families rubbing shoulders until everyone has paper cuts. going home to dinner around a table full of paper love. suburbia is flimsy paper towns shining white smiling neighbors & shared lawns paper people slowly falling apart. couples with their tongues down each other's throats, midnight in supermarket parking lots dribbling beer in the backseat they bought off the bums.   they say, I love you, I love you, I love you. until she leaves for a paper husband & he leaves for a paper wife. now they live on two separate cul-de-sacs with the same cutout love, as the parents they despised. & when they have kids one day they will tell them *never kiss before driving, never befriend bums, or guzzle cheap beer in backseats, or on park swings. & never settle for a paper husband or a paper wife.* remembering the love that was flimsy, but never paper. 100,000 miles away from where they grew up & 3,000 miles away from each other 3 kids each & plastic houses rubbing shoulders & sharing lawns living in a paper thin suberbia chafing under their paper love.

Taxed to death....Saw this poem in newspaper
You know, there's always a song that takes me back To a year, so long before It's not always a top ten song That hits my very core It just grabs me and transports me Back in time while standing still It might take me to a good place Release a memory I should **** But, my soundtrack is different It's not just music in my mind There's sounds that make my playlist up Sounds of a different kind A baseball smacking leather God, that sets me free Some good, some bad, some coaching Some involve my ******* up knee The click on every eight track When it switches channels to play on Brings back those early mornings when the house cleaning was done But, music, yes the music makes a large part of my list Some take me back to dances And the girls I never kissed The good songs stretch my senses Make me smell things from the past The memories still linger While the music didn't last Sirens, car wrecks, yelling Have their place on my list too It's not music to most people It made my list though, who knew? A sound as small as raindrops Take me back to a morning when I stood on line with a hundred others Brave women and brave men Cornwallis, Nova Scotia rain and U2 take me on a track To basic training on the east coast Wow, that's 25 years back A car crash and a siren Takes me to when I met my wife This was on the television when Princess Di, she lost her life So, my soundtrack is eclectic It's not just music fuels my trips It might be a golf ball bouncing That takes me through a time warp slip A song, that's just too easy Everyone has one of those But, can you travel back, oh, 30 years When someone blows their nose? There's more sounds that effect me But, those I think I'll hide I will write about them later And I will take you on that ride In 50 years of living Lots of sounds have hit my ears We'll sit and chat about them One day over a few beers....

After a few beers
I find Myself Among common folk Amidst the real deal Throwing beers back Gulping shots Admitting false guilts Believing hateful ideals Bad things Happen when not In the right mind You can't remember What went wrong Or What went perfectly right But she remains Beautiful in my memories Absolutely breathtaking In my Lucid dreams As gorgeous as a Leonid Afremov painting Like a hailstorm in august Unexpected but Gorgeous Like you My dear

Gorgeous
With gentle cheeky smiles and cheery cheers, You endeared yourself to your deary dears, My jealousy rose up like the towering tiers, of classic wedding cake infused with beers, Drunk even more in love without you here, Us becoming strangers made me shed tears, Somehow your babbling is a delight to hear, But you're getting far away, not even near.

A Jealous Stranger
Black cabs and ab-dabs. Dashing through London streets, High heels and crippled feet. Back street bars, wealthy sheiks, ever running, Hide and seek. Black panther's in lippy, Colourful hippies. Turbans and tunics, Kiddies in cotton, with mud on their bottoms. Big Whigs and stiff prigs. Market stalls and rubber ***** Undergrounds and all around. City beats, it's hopping on. On and off off of buses and train. London love life, kicking pain. Picks up his drink and thinks like a fish. A couple more beers, three seconds of fun. Slipped into his glass. Glass one, two three, Freedom four. Needs more. (c) LIVVI

highschool run in
we had been mopping the kitchen floor all day and the dirt never stopped coming back and earlier we had sprayed the entire front porch down with the garden hose and now it was still wet which made it feel as if it had recently rained when in fact the grass was a crunchy brown carpet of regrets. the night before we had drunk orange smoothies laced with lime and something aged sleek and dark (i think it must have been the reason we couldn't sleep that night lay awake in my parents bed and i told you why i wouldn't go swimming until the sun rose the dog barked the birds screamed their morning songs and my body stopped its nightly spasms of fear.) and the next evening we put on a miranda lambert song (the one we drank to in your mother's van last winter) sat on the wet porch swing and cracked open our first beers they were really bad i gagged because it tasted like carbonated banana bread with too much stale baking soda and we poured half of them into the flower beds the next morning was sunday and we had milk and muffins in the kitchen with simon and garfunkel then went back out to the porch drank iced coffee in the eleven o'clock sunlight and you said "if this were a normal sunday i would have been up at six at church by eight and done teaching my first sunday school class by ten." (is beer as much of an acquired taste as coffee is? because i can't ever remember not liking it i used to think it was bitter but i always liked it anyway.) i didn't say anything because i didn't want to say what was on the tip of my tongue that this kind of sunday had become my normalcy and our variety of saturday night no longer felt like underage drinking and more like the way i was meant to be.

Went down, slippery cold stairs Spiraling down, words on walls, The paper sheets? Heard the music down there... Down... Down... I've heard it before; Down... Down...  Rumble down... An underground celebration,                       So I went - down.         (the cave) Infants were there, dark rooms, Bathing in the boiling red wine, Laughing madly in the fumes, The ceiling and walls were moist and dripping. These babies, visages of chimera, Evil grins cutting their faces, Evil smiles, gruesome masks and cigars in their hands, claws...           -Stop!!! This I will unleash, One day, whiskey, liqours, Yeah. Beers, drinks... rumbling. Calm dark surface of the lake At night And the carnival nearby, Mile away or so... you can hear their sounds, muted slightly; faint lights of torches, at the other side of lake. Weird tribesmen Praising the summer solstice With howls, maracas, Tiny bells, dance, Fire. -But listen to me now! Now, when you hear me, Look here, look closely. Put your hand in me, Can't you feel I'm almost boiling? I'm no mud, I'm a clear water, Almost as a spring! Swift and clear - and hot.                                                                     and dark.

Under the city
With her cowpoke She went riding out with him One dark and windy day. The desert had forsaken their love and left their hearts astray. As sharp as a cactus' spine, her lips did pine for days. They sat around their victim's pyres tasting burnt bone, curdled blood. She saw the mess of her cowpoke, blonde and brown beauties layed in the mud. She asked why must these girls die If their looks were truly good He mumbled that his heart had been broken by the stormy flood. So they swept across Arizona with it's bright windy haze And withdrew their revolvers with eyes that met in gaze They downed a couple of beers in the dusky saloon Until right in front of them was the old rusty moon Tonight she will riding out in the ****** lands Where with her man she'll be soaking her rigid hands In wine that oozes from the corpses in the sands And in the sheets ridin' she'll take command.

Cowpoke Couple
He belches verses of prayer from the acidity of his gut, staggering upright on two toddler feet, he trails drunkenly to the fridge, scarce with only a few dented beers, a bucketful of ice to feed him, till the next scroungers pay-check is due. Cracking open a frozen one, it hisses a warrior's cry, loud in the stillness then dies swiftly, as he raises the carcass to his split lip swilling alcoholic entrails round him gums. Wincing slightly, the beer half-empty in his hand, he twitches a pink eye in pain as something rolls around his jaw, the made-of-man pinball stage has begun a game without him. Gathering his saliva into a hard bullet, he spits the foreign object onto splintered floorboards, where his last tooth lands, a final casualty of his handsome youth.

Handsome Youth
My girlfriend Recently Moved in with me So she decided To call her friend, Who was also A close friend of mine, For a couple of beers In the now 'our' house. Carmel Scotts Arrived, knocked, At around 9, And girlfriend let him in And his motorcycle Sat outside near my ****** old car. He was a skinny Ill skin tone guy Due to his being a Poppy aficionado, And he dressed Like he belonged at A London punk rock Concert in the early 80s. He came in With his huge mohawk Flipping God and the system off And his boots Knock knock knocking On Satan's roof. 'Sup' 'Sup' 'Beer?' 'Yeah man, of course' And we drank and drank And the now 'our' clock's hands Moved and struck 12. We were quite drunk. I put on That record By The Stooges That we loved And went to take a **** When I came back Iggy was moaning about Some Deathe Car While on the now 'our' floor Carmel crouched Like a tiger Above girlfriend's opened legs As she too moaned Being eaten alive by the now 'our' friend. They were really going at it And didn't notice I was back. I was mad, Really ****** mad. I was about To slam him Off girlfriend and beat him To a pulp When suddenly, I woke up. I remembered That I don't have a girlfriend, (I never have had one) And I don't have a punk friend (Or any friend really). So from mad I turned sad And got drunk without both of em.

I caught my punk friend eating my girlfriend out
When my ****** showed up on under the "people you may know" tab on fb. It felt like the closest to investigating a crime scene that I've ever been. That is if you don't count the clock work ****** that I make of my own memory every time I go down Colfax avenue. Still I sit in my living room and I search for clues. Click He is Smiling... And I see myself caught in his teeth, He's Dancing in some club In a city I have never been to. Click. He is eating sushi over a few beers with friends And I am under his finger nails. Click, I know that alley. Click. I killed the memory of that t shirt. Click. This... Is a baby picture, There is also an older man, Presumably his father. They're are both round, And bright and still Smiling.... Click. He is shirtless, And I see myself in the weight room mirror, "#beastmodeselfie" I call him the WOLF, when I write about him. The WOLF! So as to make him as story book as possible. The WOLF! When I write about him. Which is to say my Memory.. Escapes the ****** When the internet suggests it. Facebook, Informs me we have 3 Mutual Friends.. Which is to say, That he is people you may know. And that, I AM People you may know. And there are people who know, And people that don't know, And  people that DONT KNOW THAT I WANT TO KNOW, people that I am afraid to LET KNOW, and probably people that know him, That know of me, that know OF the word NO! NO! NO! NO is a flock of sleeping sheep sitting in my mouth. And now..... Now I know the wolf's middle name... And what he listens to on spofiy. And the all to familiar company he keeps, And he can no longer be "The wolf." Or the nameless grave I dig for Myself. We have... 3 Mutual friends on Facebook. And now it feels as if they Are holding the shovel. 64 people.. liked the shirtless gym pic. 4 people Have told me that they'd rather I said Nothing. 2 police officers, Told me I must give his act a name or it didn't happen! That obviously I could have Fought back. Which is to say No one comes running for young boys who cry **** When I told my brother, He also asked why I didn't fight back. Adam.... I am... Right now. I promise. Everyday, I write a poem titled "Tomorrow" It is a hand written list Of the people I know that Love me. And I make sure  to put my own name at the top By Kevin kantor

Over the handle bars and up the road, hold on tight,here we go, waving on to the people going by, this man, oh you know, he was never shy, the friendly smile was not just every once and awhile, always there ,an ear to share, a heart, oh he really did care. The peeky cap, if you stole he'd snap "you're never too old for a slap", them shining eyes, often spoke of his 3 boys, when they where young& the things they done, he never forgot, the two who complete the lot, two wonderful girls for years were there by his side, the stories he'd share, he'd tell of his wife, the woman who complete his life, her beautiful looks they were always a must. through the years,was fond of his beers, always an eexcuse to raise 3 cheers, a man full of laughter and everyone would follow after, he'd joke, you'd choke leaving you with a croke. when he was around, there was never a frown, one thing he wouldn't do, was bring you down, you know he was messing, if he was in your life a blessing, a true gent, in his company time well spent, a man so strong, a hero, in our hearts he belongs!

AUSTRALIA DAY, BY THE BBQ
You walked into the parking lot surrounded By the smell of cheap perfume, gasping for air, I'd actually climbed 2 flights of stairs, And the man who brought us to the garage Told me that my poor baby, my poor sweet car Was to be left in there for more than a week, She'd sprung a leak and the doctor was saying So much that I wish he'd just not even speak, Cursed old man, watch when you drink the beers! The double trouble had turned into a smashing spiral, My banged up car was so good through the years, It made my boring reclusive life seem so meaningful.
