Lot Tougher When They Ain’t

No heat
Till thanksgiving
Learn to wear sweaters and
Socks. And to tighten your belt, like
Old days

Just Wait a Minute

Confused
New Englanders
In winter coats or no
Coat at all, short sleeves and morning
deceived.
You are
Under dressed now
Over dressed later sweat
Chill tremble melt freeze bundle strip
Fickle

Up The Sleeve

a day

one came one gone

learned and lost, burned and tossed

escape plans are hiding nearby

not seen

Learned Man

May he
weaken with not
a chance of high rally
not a drop shall revive him his
folly

Gripped

by that gap there

in the center of your little

sweet cheese mommy please hell raiser

glee smirk

Yet More Duality

his wife

in hair spray apron dimension

although she’s a misfit

what with neither

and none

but 5 o’clock

song, quitting time breaks, whose

missing aching keyhole blessed

whore now

Suddenly New Jersey

Now the
windows wide gulp
seagulls yodeling lean
and you are on an adventure
work call
the one
with blue eyes of
course says Daddy like the
smurfs say smurfy (for all things), pink
cereal throne
its you
she demands while
insomniac mirror
her no stars in country skies eyes
working
since four
saturday love
its bizarre to wake up
without you, my shape more practiced
at loll
once you
were out windows
to come back thru late doors
kiss me with beer lips and spray paint
fingertips*
the one
were out windows
insomniac mirror
and you are on an adventure
at loll

Ripples To Someone Small

I’ll be
Super careful
My boot treads don’t upset
Your windy puddle tsunami
Raw blow

Anywho

If I
Were that prairie
I would swell air and shrink
Wet. If I were that valley I’d
Throw draughts
Up either side and see what keeps
If I were sea level
I’d miss the drink
Or sink

Quincunx

You know
Eventuate
A magnifying glass
Girls talk, writers write, secrets break
Players
A memory of inflection
Resurrection hard knocks
Freedom kingdom
