things like evening are
inebriate-ors
that is
they cause relaxation and – on occasion
lowered inhibitions

but night time
much less than wine
brings joy to my

well…
you know

soft and green, footfalls

sweeter than i remember

kicking up the dust

my life leaves
much to be
desired since i
am without an
outer space battle
to fight

thus
i watch sci-fi
on many nights
tour the galaxy
defeat the forces
of evil

so call me
a nerd; i’ll reply
“this thing of darkness,
i acknowledge mine”
from my place in
the pre-sale line

because don’t you know:
escapism makes life
bearable

i just found out
the hebrews used
neither rhyme nor meter

this cheers my heart
and raises my hopes

my poetry doesn’t either!
