Halloween
when the fall air chills your bones
and the crimson leave smolder
pretend you are someone else
and scare the demons away
and i’ll give you some candy
a caramel covered apple
and all my love forever

Week 30, Day 204 – “Halloween”
Week 29, Day 203 – “No More”
No More
indebted no more
free from the string
of owing a part of me
to an institution
now i can leap
and jump and run
to any place i want
and sing
Week 29, Day 202 – “Right”
Right
my first, and my last
two miss wrongs without a right
no more hope
no more hope, tonight
Week 29, Day 201 – “Just Saying”
Just Saying
Hi, to the cute girl
at the movie theater
call me anytime
Week 29, Day 200 – “Bender”
Bender
alarm blinks 12:00, but the light coming around the sides of the curtains tells me that i am late for work. gina is laying in bed next to me. it must have been a drunken night. this was the first time i’d seen her since she broke up with her boy toy. i nudge her awake and let her know it is time to go. she jumps up and quickly dresses. apparently she is late too. she’s out the door before i my eyes are even clear. i put on some shorts and head downstairs. there’s an unknown couple groping in their sleep on the living room floor. don’t have time to question that one. i pick out a not too dirty shirt and pair of jeans from the laundry. grab a coke out of the fridge and out the door. i am sure the guest can find their way out. another day of work. then rest.
Week 29, Day 199 – “Two Bucks”
Two Bucks
two bucks left on the table
my lunch money for the day
I could get a rectangle of pizza
some fries and a coke
or save it all up for a week
and stop by Johnny’s to buy
a couple of packs of baseball cards
and maybe some sour patch kids
now I’ve got no time for lunch
just a quick coffee (more than two bucks)
and rainy days are every day
and there never seems to be money
left over for saving
Week 29, Day 198 – “Touch”
Touch
touch and get shocked
the current flowing, juiced
alive more now, than before
but the pleasure comes
with the possibility of death
Week 29, Day 197 – “Swimming Hole”
Swimming Hole
humid august day
we jump in with our jeans on
wild and in love
Week 28, Day 196 – “The End”
The End
I regret to inform you
that the sun burn out
five minutes ago
which you will see
in a little over three from now
Week 28, Day 195 – “Suddenly”
Suddenly
and wind blows
and the day is different
my life was going nowhere
then you blew into my life
and all is new
