Better Tomorrows

When
every
little
thing
is
on
your mind,

nothing
of
value
really
comes
to
mind,

like
twittling
two
thumbs,
sometimes
nothing
days

make for better tomorrows.

Another word to an unborn son

Some day
out of nowhere
your mood
will shift
from one hundred percent
to zero,

and you will feel sad

and you will feel weak

and you will feel vulnerable,

and that’s good
that’s natural
that’s life,
so get used to it,
it’s a beautiful thing
even when it hurts most.

Happiness & Love

Happiness
& Love
killed
the poem.
As
for
the poet,
he lived
mourned his loss
then learned to love again.

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.

The letter he sent me from somewhere

Don’t be ashamed.

We’re all going somewhere,

even if that somewhere feels like nowhere,

it’s still somewhere.

And you know what?

You won’t be the only one there.

Honest.

I’ll be seeing you.

Commute

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

A Common Conundrum

There
is a
brief
window
as a kid
where
they
don’t know
about

overtime
morning commute
time and a half
cut hours

nor should they,

because
they’re kids,
kids who need to let the adults speak
you tell them all the time

so
when
the kid’s
all grown up
and wants nothing to do with you
don’t forget
all
those
times
the kid
just wanted to play.

Pudding

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