Cap, gown, diploma,
degree. A sense of self the
take-away that counts.

Who will you be, and
from where? What will have brought you
here – mere chance or choice?

A schoolteacher in
a barrel did what no man
could – lived to tell it.

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

Wan, pale, red-eyed, she’s
the poster wife of Wynette’s
song, “Stand By Your Man.”

When a righteous man
is caught with his pants down, it’s

Project due and I * like the late adopter I * am, haven’t finished.

Emily Bronte * labored quietly but I * scream “Here are my words!”

It’s said women swoon
at his rallies, yet his wife
once called him stinky.

It’s fun to see what
it’s like and then go back to
being nobody.

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

mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.

a dilemma of
riches in tiny topaz
the art of language

“Read my poem? Please?”

Art or wasted time?

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,

Today J begins
flying not yet a driver
the sky’s the limit

So hungry but the
dress fits stumble past photogs
smile stop nod pose smile.

Dreams of Oscars like
sugarplums dance in their heads.
Hollywood’s Christmas.

greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.

See democracy
happen. It happens if you
exercise your right.

My civic duty
called. Yesterday, I answered.
Pat, Ossie, Art helped.

Today was her last
day on a job I said ‘don’t
quit’ two years ago.

Intention shines high
above like a star I see
and dream of reaching.
