the grind

with a friend
you can dance
till you end
any chance

you'll get sleep
before work
so you creep
to go perk

morning brew
to keep eyes
open to
improvise

ways to fend
till weekend

furrow furlough

Till weekends
on the farm
and those bends
which may harm

tender backs
and each knee
that attacks
may just free

you from pain
in your joints
and you’ll gain
extra points

with produce
you induce.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

just pick

perp walk

You're following
a pretty gal
and swallowing
your rationale

for stalking her
all through the day
a saboteur
out on Broadway

No matter that
someone will see:
she turned and spat
upon my knee.

I ran and cried;
became red-eyed.

Red-eyed

he’d tried

denied
the cruise,

he wept

So sad

absurd

three times
gave downs
so crimes
brought crowns,

ref’s tossed
birds lost.
