Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments -
fragile, out of reach.

Directed at me
all day it follows me from
room to room in heat.

Expected to know
all the dishes, servers eat
the entire menu.

such a sweet ride they
didn’t want to leave so they
did Wendy’s drive-thru

All around it, the
town is dead. Pity the poor
taken investors.

Like cows with their cud
we would chew constantly, and
then we’d all swallow.

One piece would last for
hours and have few calories.
(I’m working on it.)

An adult blankie.
To take one from its owner
will make grown men cry.

Smoothing over the
wrinkles in life takes more cold
cash than hot metal.

Shopped a membership
warehouse store today. Got six
years’ worth of ketchup.

Vegans, stay away,
lest your firm resolve melt from
tender smoked brisket.

I eat meat because
it’s Texas. Tender steak like
beef cotton candy.

Alan Dershowitz
said about prostitution
the lie men believe.

In the skyscraper
canyons, light outlines moving
shapes sipping Starbucks.

Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach

On a cluttered Queens
balcony he stands, watching
the complex decay.

Tie dye gauzy tops
plaid goth skirts hemp necklaces
you know you need ‘em.

Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.

TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss

Drove to the city
to shop eat sushi buy fun
things that make us smile.

Grey army trenchcoat
or lime green sixties jacket
J can pull off both.

Got a new camera.
What moments will it capture
in pixels and bytes?
