THE OLD MAN
At the bus stop
I saw an old man
he fell on his back.
Nobody moved
just looked
then turned away.
My knee clicked
as I tried to dash
cementing me in place.
Laying at his side
his cane and his
week of snacks.
I wanted to cry,
He must have been eighty.

MATERIALISM
This pen hovers above this paper
while thoughts, jumbled and gaoled
in my cells of grey........
the bulk that is supposed to know
what to write and say.
Much are subjects to be written
while on this highway to knowledge
The cities view along the the sky line
is but a smoggy inspiration.
Now in my studio, here I sit
with books draped wide
This essay wont gel
nor my paint upon the canvas
stretched before my eyes.
Today, Capricorn must compremise
it was written in the stars
Told me this from a voice
on the radio. So here I wait
to see what will materialize.

THE CHANGES IN MY LIFE
I love you
NO!
I hate you
You thrill me
NO!
You disgust me
These feelings
I have no control
Come here
Hold me!
NO!
Go away
How dare you touch me........
Speak to me Darlin'
We don't communicate enough.
NO!
SHUT UP!
I don't want to hear........
What you have say is trivial.
No.......
Tell me what you did today?
NO!
Don't talk
You are boring me.......
Be still
Don't move
Let me touch you.........
NO!
Get out of my face
Can't you see.......
I want to be alone!
Please don't leave me.
Drink in the venom
From my gaze
Spit out the anger
from my mouth!
Just see me through this
The changes in my life
Try to love me!

EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
A photographic memory
For any persons face
When it is a name.
Better to forget it Jack!
I am in disgrace.
Saw your twin the other night
His name I could not place
He has no claim to fame.
Could it be his name is Mack?
My thoughts are out in space.
Embarrassing it can be
For a name to displace
Seems I am ashamed.
I want my memory back!
It's gone without a trace.

THE DOOR IS OPEN FOR YOU.
You can kiss my heart goodbye
It isn't yours any more
Someone else will take your place
I don't want you any more.
Someone else can have you
You can lie and cheat on them
It is over!
See the door?
Go thru' it!
And don't come back again.

How Strange Of Adam
The beast crept stealthily from the shadows
With hairy gangling arms out stretched
He encircled her thickened waist
The entwine squeezing in unison
With the bowels of hell belching forth vulgarities
He uttered with heated breath to her naked ear.
"I will take your unborn" "He will rule the world"!
As he bent to deliver his fatal kiss
Spasms engulfed his metamorphosing body
to reveal a devilishly handsome
Nicholas Cage lovingly caressing his Eve.
She fainted!
