All that racket!

No use shooting
them.
Cricket....
Cricket ....Cricket....
billions of them.

Not much ammo.
Got to consider that,
plus the time.
The time -
Gotta get some shut eye.

Now the slamming starts;
car doors -
back door -
heart valves.
Bill`s damn dog
ain`t gonna stop yapping.

Gotta think about the law,
while a gravel truck
off loads in the back of my head.

Still fingering the solution,
As it gets lighter

In my hand -
gun metal
tastes
like
relief.

I am very pleased to have received the Merit Award from Odin`s Opposition for "Shut Eye."
I am also pleased to inform our members that "Shut Eye" was recently published in the Spring issue of Loch Raven Review, with another of my poems entitled "Mama`s Boys".
