“Lizard Skin Shoes”
Like any good gardener,
Before going inside,
I remove muddy shoes,
And leave them outside
Overnight they will stay,
All alone in the dark,
Outside by the door,
Old tennies will park.
But by morning I wonder,
What happened last night?
Inside of my shoes,
In the dark, without light. Continue reading “Lizard Skin Shoes”
“You Only Live Once”
What if you got a memo,
To write down the date,
On which you will die,
As you full-fill your fate?
What if you knew of,
This date you must save?
As you give a goodbye,
With one final wave… Continue reading “Just Save The Date”
“What a Funderful World”
I am confused by the chaos,
Of solitude’s appeal,
I’m frightened by the terror
of retreating’s good feel.
I just want to escape,
But this we both know,
That voice is correct,
There is no place to go! Continue reading “Escape Where I’m at”
“Satanic Sales”
I’m a con man, a gangster,
I will sell you this pill.
I will fool you and bribe you,
And tempt you – I will.
I’m a surgeon, so invasive,
I will slice my way in.
I get deep in your wallet,
And under your skin. Continue reading “I’m a Con Man”
“Robot Love”
No one wants to touch me,
They’re afraid I will break,
No one wants to hug me,
How much can I take?
Getting older is lonely,
All my friends dying fast,
Mom and dad are long gone,
How long can I last? Continue reading “No One Wants to Hug Me!”
“When You’re Really a Pig?”
Why stay in the lines when you’d rather draw big?
Why dress like a dog when you’re really a pig? Continue reading “Why Dress Like a Dog When You’re Really a Pig?”
“Unused Creativity”
That part of you that longs to write,
That part of you that yearns to sing,
That part of you that needs to paint,
That part of you is everything. Continue reading “Unused Creativity is Not Benign”
“High on Petunias”
Go do some acid,
Go snort some coke,
Go toke that weed,
Go have a smoke!
I just don’t get it,
Why get high as a tower,
By doing those drugs,
All I need is a flower…
“Opposites Attract”
Ever have those days when you just feel like everyone around you wants the opposite of whatever you want?
I have those now and then and they don’t really bother me any more because I have to admit, I do see the world a little differently than most. So, I wrote this piece about opposing kinda-views. I hope you hate it… Continue reading “Opposites Attract?”
“Dark Places in the Wild”
My thoughts on releasing repeat offending sexual predators: The sexual predator that is about to be released in San Diego will follow a very expected course. (Jan 2014)
I am a very forgiving person but I’m not stupid. Sometimes bad DNA takes over a person’s behavior and the only way to help that person is to confine that person.
Not unlike the wild animal who has DNA designed to kill. Continue reading “Releasing a Predator”
“Space Turnips”
How’s that New Year’s Resolution going? Well, consider this. You’ve heard of the “five second rule” when it comes to dropping your food on the floor?
Here’s another version of the “five second rule”…
“Here Kitty, Kitty”
I asked the old doc,
As he stammered a bit,
What shall I do?
and he said, “Oh shit!”
He didn’t have an answer,
A surprise this was not,
but I thought I might give it,
One final shot…
