For Good Health

Nothing

is more real

than music

in silence

and silence

in music

fortissimo

snuff box

blaring

Gesundheit!!!

Dog

your very footsteps

wobbly

into the future

waft

like a billowing

consciousness

small

among the groovy

solaces

of your mind.







Tri-annual Sprout


Sometimes it’s like

those two guys discussing

between themselves

when it’s just me

three gorging on my

reflection in the mirror.






Half Wit’s Domain


Raised (like free range poultry)

on a diet of

“stupid son of a bitch”

and all the fixin’s

I never measured

a small man

in a normal sized body

for Japan or Vietnam

little big man moniker

followed me in fights

I’d win

lose on purpose

pulp

danger took me places

power dynamics

in confined places

infighting

head butting

the groin

bashing

gouging

wise men

fear to tread.
