Hop things to stay ahead
Hop things and off we go
Another night
Another toll
Hop Things

Bent
Bent on irrational behavior
No delayed last-minute savior
Of people or animals
Mammals
Bent on the frenzy
Of the moment
Don’t know where
This is going
Mid Day Coffee Line
Mid day coffee crush
Afternoon slumber crush
The day
With hole fields of caffeine ablaze
Set to a early morning drum
Now a day dreary
Has a firefly sun
In the coffee line
In the afternoon
Not to late
Never too soon
My Helpless Shiver
If I were only the best
The undisputed world champion
Would I resist an ill will of fate
Temptations to state
That my own indifference
Or subject to exposure
To think that I am no good
All over
I shiver
Helpless to get
Away from those feelings
Squalid Greed
Squalid greed
Unpunished demonstration
Of the full-blown
Castration
Of a society
Is the licking lips
Of high snob-riety
Hanging all hopes
On the goal
Of self advance
No Dollar Taco
No dollar taco
Burns the wallet
Makes room
For a change of plans
And no spare change
Made the day of
Good food
Dark Fog
Dark fog
Descends on Dallas
Into the evening curls
Another night
Slippery roads
But moving alright
For another morning
Rounds the corner
Skirt the Crack
Around the cracks, I walk
Knowing the tradition
Of certain superstitions
Holding the walking foot
Position
I hold my breathe and
Walk away from the crack
Sudden Motionless
Sudden motionless
I stood in the isle
Looking down at the gathering
Groceries
Collected
I recollected the next item needed
And I moved on
Straight Homely
Straight homely
I have become
In the morning hours
I come undone
In a vegetative state of awareness
I did not know my own sense
Of scaryness
