A shadow falls across my path.
Hesitant future pauses.
A deer frozen in headlights,
Leaving the veins ice cold;
And the ground rumbles
To locomotion on ribs of steel
Across life.

Monday Morning
Yesterday, spent the afternoon at my son's. My aunt is visiting. I passed on writers group to spend time with them. My family is awesome. Sometimes I cannot understand how it is that I fit with them.

Always On The Chin
Pressing the issue as you so often do,
I fall flat. Spilt milk to mop up whenever
Someone gets around to the more mundane
Of life. I can’t, I can’t! Again, the obvious
But you sound the alarm and rush to muster
All forces behind your assault but others stand
To watch. A movie, a play… did you write
The script? How marvelous the ending
If it would just end but seems to go on
Like an LP that is scratched. Over and over
Monotonous melody- I want to throw up
And one day, I promise. The curtain will fall.

Phony Baloney
A little Rembrandt on your teeth for the
false smile you leave behind for the children
and you're out the door on your way to
do a little racial profiling
at the country club this weekend and
your neighbor asks who lazy Mexicans find
for domestic help but you have no answer yourself
because you are thinking about the new family
down the street who you have convinced yourself
you don't hate because of their color
but you despise the color of their crimes
like they personally are responsible for every criminal
act in the universe or at least your neighborhood
since it is mostly your own little world
you are wrapped up in
