Morning Walk
On our morning walk, we ran into a squirrel
who came so close to us, that I could have
reached out, and picked him up, and had him
for breakfast. Of course, I would have
much preferred to have the oatmeal that was
waiting for me back at the house.
"Don't leave your children unattended," said
a sign in the middle of the bright red,
orange, and yellow children's playground
in the park that we were walking in.
Tense
Satan felt my balls
and I got hard for The Lord.
In Public
I am not going to beg
but I am going to
seriously wish that
people with cell phones
sit nowhere near me.
The older Jewish woman
She would probably never think
that I thought that she was hot,
but I did.
A woman younger than I
She called and said
that she had been
shooting heroin, again.
Each day has its own particular beauty
It is a Saturday morning
life so many others
and yet I know that this one
is different
My coffee is the same
Feeding the animals is the same
Slowly coming out of the grog
is the same
and yet this day is different.
Sometimes life is like a movie
There was something about her
even when she was just words on a screen
before I had her picture
before I saw her smile.
There was something about her
before the plane touched down
before she extended her hand
before she offered me that smile.
There was something about her
at the coffee shop
with her clothes on
before we entered her bed
and she still had that smile.
There was something about her
for the whole weekend
doing simple things
doing simple things
and through it all, yes
she wore that smile.
