For a dog to chase

Sometimes
poetry
must
wait
while
the
hand
that
writes
it
throws
a
tennis 
ball
for 
a
dog
to 
chase.




The Street Walker

They say she only felt comfortable
around the homeless.
They say the homeless were
the only people she trusted.
Many in their cars
thought she was a prostitute.
She liked to take lsd and walk the streets.
When she took acid everything 
became clearer to her. She
took long walks to search for answers.
One day a car beeped at her
and we haven’t seen her since.





A cheap place to stay

Talked your way passed
the doorman, pulled out
a large flask once inside.
The night didn't cost you
nothing but another night
in jail.



Anymore 

Not to want. Not to wander 
into the garden of my own
mind and stay there aimlessly.
Too deep. Too long. No thanks.

Coming 
down
the 
mountain
can
be 
slow.




Play Ball

They told me to drink
lots of milk that it was
good for me.
They told me to drink
lots of water that it was
good for me.
They say that milk
is bad for you, now.
They say there is 
fluoride in the water
that is bad for you.
Sometimes I just want
to stick my nose into 
a ballgame and ignore
the world. 




I wish I had a can of ravioli and a chocolate bar

I wish I had a Mercedes, a van, an RV, and a house
on the beach, somewhere under sunny skies, where
the temperature is never brutal. I wish that the house
by the beach had a lap swimming pool behind it,
between the house and the beach. I wish that I had
all the money that I will ever need and that you did, too!!
