“Papaya Punch”
When I was a kid,
others would fart in bottles.
And seal them back up.
"Don't put things off…it may be later than you think."
“Papaya Punch”
When I was a kid,
others would fart in bottles.
And seal them back up.
“Pause”
A temporary
lull, in my creative flow.
Leads to more output.
“Excuses”
There is no excuse.
I simply did not do it.
I am not ashamed.
“Un-mitsake”
With the help of friends,
there is a way around it.
I am in good stead.
“Mitsake”
I screwed up again.
There is no way around it.
I am in deep shit.
“Dreary Air”
Spring rain falls downward.
It spatters on arid ground.
Dry soil drinks fully.
“Patagonia”
Patagonia,
a company that sells stuff,
is also a place.
“Pole Position”
An abandoned glove.
Take some solace that,
somewhere exists another.
Poem 28 has been a thorn in my side. The concept is something I know little about, and I don’t want to provoke my audience into an all out assault on each other’s sensibilities.

“Universal Basic Income in the U.S.”
Some folks have nothing.
A few folks have everything.
Let’s divvy it up.
