Tony's Pizza




Experiences!, not books!
evening calls for some wine and some food

she don’t feel like cooking tonight 

so I guess just wine

some pizza from Tony’s

staring out the window at sky

you would think a world 

under beautiful stars 

would be a better place

in the miserable heat of June

snows of December seem far away 

chill from another day

rumor has it there’s a ghost

in the old abandoned service station

edge of town

let’s go find out what he brings to the table

where’s that pizza? damn, I forgot to order it

Toast




Friday night
maybe Thursday

possibly Wednesday

she proposes a toast 

some people we used to know

a good long drink to them

a toast to people we don’t know

a good longer drink to them

lots of toast, just need some eggs

    some friends come in 

           such good friends we haven’t seen them in years

long night gets even longer

they talk and talk and strawberry letter 23 plays in my mind

bar lights blurry

words get slurry

our ‘friends’ eventually leave

only the hardcore left/one for the road

fortunately, the road isn’t too long

we were going to make love

but now hit the hay/make it all go away

it’s cold and the bedroom window is cracked  

also cracked open

neither one of us gets up to close it

use my trench coat as a blanket

morning comes thank god it’s raining

dark and cloudy, we couldn’t handle sunshine

few more fitful hours we get up 

she makes french toast

Machete & Ax




the death march of summer
overstaying its welcome

my blood running cold

after a dream last night

don’t remember what it was about

out in yard

wielding machete and ax 

makes me feel old worldly

a don’t fuck with me attitude
