IF THE TITLES OUTSIZE THE POSEY



gotta write 
sometimes
. . . GOTTA ! 

before the pills are gone
before my brain is gone
before coffee is priced out the burbs
before my meat rejects its ghost

dont ask why
. . . DONT ASK !

happy birthday all
in the ending times

~

& if the titles outsize the posey

well thats just top heavy osmosis

watch out for that

natch ?

THE SMALL TOWN FALL DOWN




the 2 AM rivet moon
glows out the indigo
of a dark-wash denim sky

& i make grass angels
in the early dew

on the rugby field
of my old school

friends stealing bikes
in the side street gloom

earths girth pressing
on my genuflecting back
