The Ship: a poem
We find ourselves on a shipDrifting through an endless oceanNo one can swimNo one can steerYet we follow a steady course We find ourselves on a sinking shipTaking on the ocean’s waterThe port men scurry about with their bucketsBailing out the waterSearching for the leak The starboard men, of their own free will,Take their bucketsContinue reading “The Ship: a poem”

Drive Home from a Wedding: a poem
Torrential downpour thrashing I-5No music on, just try to surviveVision skewed by splashing rainIt’s all I can do to stay in my lane I’ve never driven so slow and cautiousSimmering hangover making me nauseousCountdown the miles to my destinationPray to God, a silent negotiation

Perfect Moment: a poem
Glimmer twins in my CD playerBlasting through the speakersSun on my skin warms every layerWearing shorts and sneakers Ice bold beer in my overworked handsTake it nice and easyPoker with banter over played handsAir feels nice and breezy She comes along to perfect the dayIt’s just a kiss away
