Like displaced drones
And wandering wasps
Near winter,
They visit soup kitchens,
Food banks and shelters,
Few engage their faces
Their stares,
It’s easier to see
Unnamed
Walking shadows.

Have you had
One of those days,
You know,
Those days
When you’re wondering
Is it sunspots
Or a phase of the moon
That has things
Going sideways,
Both ends
Of the stick shitty,
People angry and grouchy,
Dogs growling
For no apparent reason,
Cats flashing that spot
At the base of their tails.

Life
Like sailing
Is never perfected,
A gust, a rip, a rogue,
Has you on your knees
Wondering whether
It’s heaven or hell
You’re peering
Into.

Climb up
In the trees
Fall down
On your knees
Sing with the bees
And
Dance with the leaves,
The waves so high
The bottom so low
Where does the wind
Eventually go
And

I know that I
Will not forget
The tie
That I once knew,
And you,
You will know
When you’ve been
Scorched
By the spark
That cracks the
Universe
Rarely, if ever
In one’s lifetime.

The poet
You know it
Fell in love
With the sea
And found a way
To live and be free,
If this is something
You’d like to do
Drop by for a visit
At Bald Pate Too.

So this gal
Comes into the shop
And when she leaves
The sugar bowl is gone,
You say what the hell!
Upon reflection you realize,
Some people rob banks,
Some steal sugar bowls,
And some in three-piece suits
Screw you out of the commission
On a million and s half dollar yacht sale,
There’s assholes at all levels.
