Week 15, Day 102 – “Make Over”

Make Over

Sorry Adam,
That’s the best that I could do.
I call her Eve.

I know you wanted more,
but really give it a try and see how you like her.
Maybe she just needs a make over.

Week 15, Day 101 – “Three Feet Away”

Three Feet Away

just three feet away
I am always behind you
watching your back

Week 15, Day 100 – “Walkin”

Walkin

walkin’ round the city streets
sayin’ hi to whomever I meet

ridin’ the subway
to the end of the line

not goin’ anywhere
just passin’ the time

the city’s life
makin’ me alive

I started writin’ in one
and am now in another

keep goin’, ’til there’s no stops
and no more paths to follow

Week 15, Day 99 – “Long”

Long

she took off her shoes
lotioned up her feet
and settled in for a long long flight.

Week 14, Day 98 – “Love Poem”

Love Poem

I don’t read love poems
anymore, they make me sad
someday I’ll write one

Week 14, Day 97 – “More Better”

More Better

the tall boys don’t dance tonight
long legs like clumsy spiders

Miss Ringwald is more better
than Alyssa Milano

until the grown up versions
where Milano pulls ahead

pretty girls fall for tall boys
and tall boys fall hard for them

Week 14, Day 96 – “Night Heat”

Night Heat

it’s nearly midnight
and the heat is oppressive
even in darkness

Week 14, Day 95 – “Jess”

Jess

grape jellied homemade pancakes
french toast with powdered sugar
grilled sandwich with three cheeses
melons cubed and pineapple
ice cream floating orange soda
deep dish pizza with sausage
and a great big cheeseburger
melted Velveeta ketchup

Jess’s last day was something to remember.

Week 14, Day 94 – “Moving”

Moving

Red and lovely
a suitcase full of hope
together we are going
moving on with our lives
in a new place of fresh starts

Week 14, Day 93 – “Go”

Go

bye bye gorgeous, I’ve got to go
to someplace nice
someplace you’re not likely to know
a place of vice
leggy blonds putting on a show

maybe I’ll be back
but maybe I won’t
