San Diegan forever, so far. Done everything from College DJ to Industrials salesman to running a small company, I like to poke a little at what I see - I try and see a lot. I hope you enjoy my journey. Who knows together what we may see?
The Alliteration Song
Some shit-head ‘city slicker’ strutted into town Talk’n real big and walk’n my girl around And I don’t doubt he’s done deeds of daring do But I’ve done me a daring deed or two I caught him in the corn crib try’n to cop a kiss I called him out – he said: “it …
Derrick
The lines, which led to cracks, fell into fissures A featured tin foil ball of wrinkled face It sat atop a feeble derrick body Knee deep in sea and rusting into space Decrepit, almost silent, the mottled hulk had stood Infecting the sky in a collage of carbonizing cancer He had stood a lifetime. …
Appleside
The holes in my hands had finally healed When my cart caught the gutter and shattered a wheel And strewn by the roadside my apples all lay But I’m doing all right… It’s just one of those days I sat on the curbside and twiddled my thumbs The Blind man just laughed, when he …
Idle Wild
Idle, wild, addled, able ‘Eager pleaser’ seeks the fabled Anticipating sweet immersion Penetrating dream conversion Not for sake of some diversion But for the heart of you. Believing in the dream unraveled The life-long coupled path to travel Past odd hurdles not disclosed Roadblocks, doubt and fears imposed Committed open heart, exposed All for …
Kitten’s Lap
The fire chattered warmly as I curled up, nearly napped With my back towards the fireplace, my head in Kitten’s lap My mind was filled with jousts and kings And lore of days gone by And I did not hear the tear, appear in Kitten’s eye That salt-warm tear ran down her cheek unnoticed …
Walkin’
I’ve seen the mist rising on a dry river bed – I knew the water lay there undetected I’ve seen the clouds rising up behind your eyes – when you felt yourself unprotected I’ve walked the shallow fields of your fallow mind – divining rod twitching in my hand Searching for the soul that I …
Slip
As always, the buzzing troubled his sleep. The whirr of it mutated his dreams and sent him into a cold sweat. The image that infiltrated his slumber, again, was of a hoard of flying insects. They flew in perfect ranks, descending out of the sun, intent on his destruction. Time to wake up! Upon waking, …
Anglo-Cristo (a poem with teeth)
Such a White Man Blue eyed, trimmed beard, robes on A small lamb in his arms He’s knocking at a door His face benign, omniscient understanding The look both Mormon boys showed hours before When their staunch white shirts Left shadows at my door Though I clench my teeth still tighter Yet, that picture …
Language Troubles (dissecting of speech)
I am having a little trouble with language. Specifically, the term “Bi-weekly”. You see it means BOTH twice a week and every two weeks. So, when my hot new girlfriend says that we should make love bi-weekly – I’m flummoxed. Now granted, we are just getting to know more and more about each other (and …
