Ode to Crushed Ice…(Ice Ice Baby)

ice

Holidays, vacation, healthcare,
Friday hours and IRA’s…
Training, coffee, dental, stocks,
Perks galore to make me stay!

Can I share a little secret?
To ensure my loyalty
offer me an ice machine…
I’ll be yours eternally!

Memo Random

image

i didn’t get
the memo…
the one that said
there is an us
and them…
the one that said
different
is bad
or scary
or inferior.
i’m afraid i am
terribly out of step,
but i didn’t know
that it’s not about
how we play the game,
because winning
is all
that
matters.
and winners
are all that
matter.
i didn’t get
that memo…
and it has made
all
the
difference.

lunacy

From the archives…a poem written in 2001…

grass

if you were brave
i could tell you who
i really am
jot my truths and epiphanies
like a grocery list
or like laundry, wet and
beleaguered hang
myself out to dry
it is troubling…normal
doesn’t fit my vocabulary
or my soul
call me lunatic
manic or insane but
i have noticed
the same wind catches
some leaves of grass
leaving others unmoved.

at 3 am


i rouse from
dreamy rem,
at that un-godly
hour, 3 am…
with mountain
summits looming
made of feet.
through bleary
goo i squint,
and squirm to
gain some
equilibrium,
then drop my toes
to floorboard so
to wander room
to room…to grab
a pee, perhaps
a cuppa tea, whilst
solving universal
problems in my
head. i’m brilliant
then, at 3 am,
though i suspect
that things are not
as lucid as they
seem…perhaps it’s
best to leave this
hour to demon
play, return myself
to bed, count
sheep…count
sheep…count
sheep…perchance
to dream…

Dream Apocalypse

dream
It’s an unsettling thing, you’d
no doubt agree, when
a dream taps you square
on the shoulder.
With nose to the stone
we’re often persuaded, to
shutter away silly
dreams of our youth.
Best left forgotten…
forgotten, except for
that tap, tap, tap,
tapping, insistent, annoying.
Some dreams are like
zombies, bypassing our
brains, intent on
devouring our hearts.
