JustJust’s

Life is 
just just’s
just for
a while
just because
and naturally
it’s just
a wheelchair
some people
think that
what’s important
is the
thing that’s
talked about
whereas I’m
a believer
of the
just’s for
the just’s
give time
for another
to adjust
to the
startling thing

WateringCan

I think that 
you might be
my next muse
and before you
get all woogy
try to understand
this that some
of us are
plants and some
of us are
the watering can
which is which
never really matters

QuietlyNormal (for Gil)

There’s this odd
thing that happens
the longer that
I go without
the more that
I realize that
I don’t need
contrary to what
most do believe
the absence of
something does not
promote its pursuit
for once one
is past missing
the lack of
what once was
becomes quietly normal

It’sNotThat (for Jontee)

It’s not that 
that we do
that I care
about or even
when or why
that ever matters
it’s the before
and the after
that matters most
to me for
the before is
known as desire
for something better
and the after
is a sigh
knowing just that

Casserole

There are good 
days and bad
and a whole
lotta in betwens
that blend together
like some kind
of baked casserole
using up remains
of something else
we seem to
remember when first
we tasted it
but as meals
go so does
much of life
eventually becoming leftovers
and then goulash
dreams become reality
feeding the hordes
