The pavement is wet
and puddled like the
faces of freshly scolded
children as cars speed
their damp tails wagging
behind as they go
The skies open and
rain pours down like
early AM shoppers on
black Friday as people
dodge and dash trying
though hopelessly to remain
dry such is Monday
Month: May 2023
Kind (for sweet pea)
In order to be kind one must first be humble for without humility kindness sours into selfishness.
Voices
Voices are the one
thing that I miss
much like the rustling
of fall leaves when
snow begins to swirl
or the sound of
absent summer swimmers when
Autumn’s chilly winds blow
But the voice I
miss most is mine
when I stop listening
to my own advice
InOut
I see two cars
one going one coming
neither one is certain
of what the other
will do Here in
this parking lot isn’t
this very little moment
what life’s all about
One in One out
and so we go
Perhaps
My heart aches for
those who don’t know
Imagine being so ignorant
that you don’t realize
Perhaps it is better
being so absolutely oblivious
Perhaps just maybe perhaps
the day is mystery
