serene

life
the pure twisted gift
heartbeat adjusting
to daylight

love
the magical word
heard with one ear
open
back to surrender

drama fought
by somebody else
met with
unreal failure
making exists
walking in shoes
full of
life

eleventh wonder

one at a time
let’s go disappear
eat some cheese
melted
defining ignorance
then it fizzled
a body sculptured
in silence
called another craze

today
will set myself on fire
bury my ashes

picture this
hitchhiking
the road open
life without seatbelts
the thrill of the destination

Hollywood followed

hollywood followed
accessories choosing
a scar
must be fashion
making me feel
special

for awhile there
felt like wearing a
noose
life in a cornfield

then the world screams
put on a hat
cried in a hankie
opened a bottle of
tears

made it all work

ant farm

bizarre badge of honor
heart felt gesture
ten cheering
loyalty and love
relaxing in a mud bath

nobody fits in
shooting a question
cracked a door open
life in an ant farm

grew tired of waiting
here’s a toy
the appalled nothing
creating radio drama

old school heroine
stupidities badge
here’s your spotlight

think I’ll drink some tang

shiney

wealth power
and moral decay
arrives today
as history unravels
a personal problem
strong harmonies
heartfelt promises
just want to be a drummer
finding ambition

impromptu performances
difficult to ignore
understanding depth
eternity collapses
taking the world by storm
drives the force with
an expired license

studied music with a microscope
a microphone
found a gold chain in a garbage can
wore it as a belt finally
found the buckle
it was bold

destiny

kinda wanna not

your
hatred arrived before
you even got here

Some

some
still living in holes
not
a long way from Auden
appears
the same as different

where’s frank
let’s
have some lunch

sleet

must be
something cooking
a rain delay
then a snow storm
your journey
lived by a substitute
without sorrow
lacks the holy ending

will you call today
will I leave tomorrow

ready to hear
must be unfortunate
sidesteps
heads to luck
a refreshing no
concern

sentence

wrote
like you didn’t
have
much time left

so smart actually
stupid

imagining a drum
beat

would it
kill you not to
use a period
just
let the sentence
end

hungry

thanking
Goddess humor
especially
when
my eyes were
on the table
looking
right back at me

hungry for the unknown
