wind chimes clink
in the night air
lovers lock arms
cars honk horns
and speed by
Monday evening wipes
its eyes
defeated
she turns her hands
up to Tuesday
and the week
bows humbly to
stroke her ego

Inches and Miles
“Give an #inch
& they’ll take a mile,
damn heathens.”
Grandma’s voice rang
loudly in our ears.
As she ages, there’s no
hope for discretion.
She has no #filter.
When she feels it,
she’s going to
say it.
And everyone will know.

we should know, though. shouldn’t we?
we should know, shouldn’t
feel the ache in our
hearts–our bones brittling,
cracking with each pace
this is America
land of the beaten
home of the
lied to & ostracized
bent over & bastardized
it is the #habit of this place
to eat its young
before disowning it

the gifted boy and loves past
A Rapid Rhyme
A Rapid Rhyme Audio Poem
The gifted boy chose his chore,
an invitation to toy with others
who bore the pain
from life’s insane paths
a kid big on master plans
he demands the same treatment
& has no fans
in his misty eyes,
he holds the cries
of loves past
too many to name,
none of them would last

Lucky Lou, Stu, and the Woman
A Rapid Rhyme
A Rapid Rhyme Audio Poem
Lucky Lou said to Stu
that he’d catch the girl
who rocked their world
& make plans to do more
than hold hands
what Stu didn’t know
wouldn’t hurt his flow &
Lucky Lou was cool too
besides being a fool in
love with a woman who’d glide
right on to the next,
Lou only wanted sex
