cart-wheeling

          While high as a kite
                   i might
       have wasted precious time
               daydreaming
                      and
              deconstructing
                      and
          looking for meaning
                     while
             misconducting
                      and
cart-wheeling until i lost the feeling
                     in both
                 of my hands.

Two questions at 25mph

Father and daughter
are going for a ride ... while cajoling
 to visit the other side.
She's been his best friend for a good while.
He's as predictable as ocean tide.
One asks  " could life be a transportation riddle? "
One answers " are you thinking the end is really...  the middle? "
One re-positions.
One rolls the window down
and ruminates the
two questions at 25mph.

$200 and a bottle of wine = Forgiveness

                    What gets over-looked
                           is practically 
                               a-tomic.
                    What gets beaten down
                    won't come back  'round
                        Not in this lifetime. 
                  What gets scared and shook
                         becomes drastically
                                 he-donic.
                                 but then
         $200 and a bottle of wine  =  Forgiveness
                           

today we are Magi

It took 3,000 years to walk 3,000 miles.
In the East, we
traded clothes for destinations.
Today we are Magi.
Tomorrow we don't know.
There are trials and tragedies.
These are celebrations.

He Walked like Sidney Greenstreet

He walked like Sidney Greenstreet
and he talked like Benny Hill
He arrived like Billy Sunday
He washed up like an oil spill
He had one arm around you
It was maybe your best chance
He sang along w/Elvis
Costello in blue pajama pants
He turned his back on anarchy
and dead-bolted every door 
He wore cuban hats and JCrew T's
that people don't wear anymore
He was a sight for sore eyes
He never let you down
Once or twice,,,someone like him
in a lifetime...comes around
He walked like Sidney Greenstreet
and he balked at irony
He smiled like Billy Sunday
on Pentecostical t.v.
He said he's never leaning
that he's as straight as straight can be
He walked like Sidney Greenstreet
very...cinematically
...
