The end of my career

She accused me of being "pensive,"
as if there was something wrong with that.
She likes her men stupid, I assume,
their conversation to go no further than
football and beer.
I drank my fair share of beer,
but have never been into football,
except for the brief time in the sixth grade

Some of us

We've all been happy.
We've all been sad.
Many of us have been poor,
some of us have been rich.
Some of us are scared of dogs.
Some of us are allergic to cats.
We've entered tall buildings.
We've driven in cars.
Some of us have gotten really high.
Cell phones might be killing us,
but still we stick… Read full post »

You are beautiful

You are beautiful 
as you are,
wherever you are,
however you are;
if the sun is shining,
if the moon is out,
upon waking,
and before you fall asleep.
You are beautiful 
when you are pouting.
You are beautiful 
when you smile.
You are beautiful
when you are here.
You are beautiful

Hello Little Fly

I'm alone on this page
just me
a man with his thoughts
and observations
and then you wander in
with your eyes
your thoughts
your mind
and I catch you 
like a spider catches a fly
only I wasn't trying to catch you
I was just here alone
with my thoughts 
and my observations
and now I can't… Read full post »

Why, I don't know; I can only guess

Often, when I meet someone in person,
it ends their online fascination with me;
they stop connecting via the net,
once they have looked me in the eye.

Jerry is singing, "Knock knock knocking on Heaven's door." Morisson, Bundy, and I just came through our front door, out of the heat, and into the air conditioning after doing a 26 minute walk. Bundy is SO bi-polar: at the beginning of the walk, he is a manic wreck, psychotically pulling… Read full post »

This thing called Happiness

I have felt comfortable in this place called my space.
I thought that I could never live without you,

There might be no harder working band in the band business than the band Savannah. There has probably never been a band so desiring to be “liked,” as Savannah desires to be liked.” Savannah has a Facebook fan page that Savannah posts new songs to almost daily. Savannah has a Reverb… Read full post »

When the money rolls in

When the money rolls in
will you be living or a ghost?
When the money rolls in
will you tell them all,
"I told you so,"
or just go on about doing your thing?
When the money rolls in
will more of the opposite sex
find you attractive?
When the money rolls in
will you buy art… Read full post »

It's been a long road
full of much discord
I learned to pray when I was young,
but gave it up for women and a bottle of gin
The women never much stuck around
but the bottle sure did
Then I had a kid,
and the choice was obvious

"There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots, the other is wings."--Hodding Carter, Jr.

It is 74 degrees outside right now, at 7:53 a.m., and it is actually cold inside this abode, so I have turned off one of my air conditioners. What a beautiful way to… Read full post »

The ads at the side of my Facebook page dangerously mimic me. 

"Do you want to publish your poetry?" one asks. 

"Cure diabetes," says another. 

I have started deleting the type of ad that has most been directed at me, the kind that say, "Young girls waiting for you," and,… Read full post »

On the back of the sample pack of glucose tablets, that I got off of the table in the back of the hospital room, where I was taking a Diabetes Self-Management course, there was a warning: “Do not attempt to give to anyone who is unconscious.”

I had to laugh at this.… Read full post »

Henry, the Great Dane, crawled up on the bed with me, a couple of hours ago, as I was descending into a nap. The big grey guy curled up at my feet, and I put a leg over him, wondering if doing that would keep him from jumping in and out… Read full post »
