Smooth and buttery
Upon satisfaction
The center disposed with

In a store in Williamsburg
On my way into town

The News Year
Bad back
In the news year
Making the right turns
On the wrong lanes
In our timed lives
We make the best of a new time
Rainy Lazy
Lazy rain
On a Monday
New Year’s Eve
Hours away
Bring the fresh start
Without the clouds
Doing their part
Come new year
In due time
Start again
Feeling fine
Tree Save Us
The trees save us
Deliver us from our
Own perils
As we fall prey to
The toxins
We emit everyday
A tree
Can save us
As it has before
Growing from the ground floor
Taking us under its shade
Please save us trees today
The Stall Exhibition
Stall exhibition
No prohibition
Problems made
With no resolve
We have to grow
And evolve
Stalling out
Over the holidays
For the world can say
What a great nothing
What a moment to cease
All of that just to
Keep the peace
Red Lights
Red lights at stops
At this stop in the year
The south shore train
Draws near
Blinking in red and white
Double wide loads
As the snow blows
Between the signs
Calling a slowdown
A new year bustles with possibilities
Here
The Tidy Smile
Clean up my face
In a heartbeat
In its place
A tidy smile
For all feelings
All emotions
Rolled off
Like the waves in the ocean
Helping hands
Lift my upper lip
To keep the swagger up
To have a clean fit
Chicago Town
Along the southern shores
Of Lake Michigan
Where the steel mills billow
Black soot into the opaque blue sky
Lies a city
About 40 miles wide
And more
Here along the southern shores
Of a fresh water ocean
Where men and women walk
Along a magnificent mile
City streets
Of Chicago style
Drawing Entitlement
What am I drawn to
Hope for the future
Caring and nurture
I challenge my own words
My own notions
Undergo forgiveness
And simplicity
I have to abstain from
Drawing entitlements
Made in vain
The Little We Know
The little we know
Is holding our growth
The fear of letting go
Prohibits where we can go
If we give up
We give in
Continue on
Thick or thin
The little we know
Hope fear and love
Hold your strength my dear
Keep your eyes to the sun
