the poor old tramp

poetry

I used to jump
on the old tramp
out back but not
with flips and
twists and twirls,
like I see on tv.
If I had I don’t
think the poor tramp
could have taken it
but would have instead
squirted blood and
guts and gore,
like I see on tv.

i cant take warm beer in the morning

poetry

the decisions we make
with swollen prostates
(not from what you’d think)
but too long a ride
through too bumpy a road
and some beautiful scenery
with dead pigs impaled
on motorcycle saddles

breathing seconds

poetry

i have plunged
back into the stream
of time head first
plugging my nose
unused to the
measured ticks and
climbing numbers
counting up (actually
down) and i again
feel the inevitability
of tomorrow as
one does a collapsed
lung.
