Depth to a Page
Simple black ink on white paper.
Just words on a page.
How can I make words mean more?
Maybe a drop shadow.
That seems to always add depth to a page.

Depth to a Page
Just meaningless words.
How can I give them more depth?
Add a drop shadow?
No Comment
Looked up to the stars
asked, “What am I doing here?”
Received no comment.
The Few
The majority want the best for themselves.
The few want the best for themselves, too.
What is really important is what is best for me.
Where am I?
Seventeen years past,
high school behind me,
started a new road
in a direction
no destination.
Today I am here
in Doha, Qatar
I keep on moving
in a direction
no destination.
Jazz
Be Boop, Ba Dawh.
Mary listened, intent on the band.
I couldn’t wait to get out
Out of this club,
Out of the smoke,
Out of my life,
Out of my life with her.
Solo, applause, and move on.
But Mary was in
in it for good,
in it for love,
in it for the long haul,
in the groove, and all that Jazz.
One Year
Birthday baby,
you are one year old today.
Your mama emailed a picture
of your big toothy smile.
You must have woke up laughing,
just to reaffirm your name.
Joy,
May health and happiness
bless you forever.
It Can, You Can
I didn’t know that it could get this hot.
It can.
I didn’t know that you could be this cold.
You can.
Judgment Day
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Come down to the Big Top Arena
For a time you won’t soon forget!
It’ll be like nothing ever seen before.
Truly a world shaking event.
Be There!
Love you, Miss Cookie
Boom, Boom, Snickerdoodle
you’re such an angel
dazzled with glitter
and cinnamon and sugar
I’ll buy you some bling,
if you show me your bing
cherry covered in chocolate
what a state, what a state, what a state to start a date.
Time
My pocket watch chain snagged on the kitchen drawer pull, and my pocket watch fell to the floor, broken. Now I don’t know what time it is, but I know it is getting late, because the sun is down. I think I’ll just go to bed and when I get up tomorrow I will take it to Amir at the souq to see if I can get it fixed. Amir has helped in the past with cleaning, so I hope he can help with this broken watch.
If not, there is nothing to feel good about.
