Poem #42 Single men sometimes fall behind . . .

single men sometimes fall behind

trouble walking in front

guns begin anything you sees

take my fun rouge pickin’

a woman the wife of an ill omen

white with a ,lot of aggie sin

Older than me like a mother

ordered in a tidy life

buying yellow teacup

they play can’t wait to be lied about

give way to natural good hating

impostors to knaves the things you stood and built

one heap turn of your begging’s

a word your heat long hold

exile will virtue wake with common hurt

none too much distance everything more

flatten words with false promises

so to make mornings bright

and broken nights

fools broken worn out tool

dealt in lies

you can dream

every once in a while

pitch and toss off all your wings

hold on

if all men count. 

Poem #15 In five minutes there might be a misunderstanding

in five minutes there might be

a misunderstanding

pillars of compared homestead

dropped in to afternoon tea

only two women came out of

faraway places

world for their secret well

heavy man Eden in wanderings

shoulder judgment on the railway

to etiquette

a stranger to free privileges

eyes a grave even when the sun touches it

the smile never became a habit.

perhaps kindness for to many years

putting flowers in a vase

but I’m serious, do you  care for me?

how can you ask it

waiting for a bottled answer

in a drawing room of over-vehement love

drank in civilization

happy golden saints to draw

work for an age to blame

joy limping on some private owned property

faith an old idol long spent. 

Poem #9 The trouble with everyone

Someday would be better than ever.

Good morning with an uneasy feeling underneath

If you took over looking so busy

Never gotten married to her sympathy

When they both grew up

With a hint of greasiness

He’s been asking the neighbors if they object

What have they to do with it?

Leading people, wander love

But I notice things

Got out of doors

Because of course things happen and all that

And of course

Listen! Tired right locality come back

Likes she’s going to marry him

Settle anywhere

Someday would be better than ever
