People having the best day

Be cautious
of those people
having the best day,

they’re usually
hiding something
insidious.

The Wool

Some times
a man
must
pull the wool
over his own eyes,

just to make it through the day.

Try

Most days
all we can do
is try,
try without motive
without reason
but with trust
in ourselves
that tomorrow
is another day
to try.

Commute

Purple sky.
Blinking lights and a deep sigh.
Cars pass by.

Life is short

Life is short.

So don’t question
the chance to
laugh.

Let it rip!

Pudding

The
proof
is
in
the
pudding,
but
I
don’t
eat
pudding.
So,
shit.

No need for a title

I’m not sick
but I am tired
trying to grip
anything
that will hold,
because
it’s been some time
since I’ve been inspired
and life has a way
of taking its toll.

Broken Men, Broken Women

Good men

Are broken

By broken women

Born of broken mothers

By broken fathers

Who’ve broken

Good women

Something Mama chose not to say

Life is like
a box of chocolates
and then
you die.

Something else I told him

They
will
love
the generic
you,
the
you
they
feel safe
with,
and
look past
the
real you
who
might
spoil
their
fun.
