Stray cat

It spits, twitches, jerks violently, screams and dies.

Serendipity

Road trip looking for fried pickles. Finding old friends with lots of connections. Sending samples to 3 major hotels. Thank goodness for free coffee.

Back to the grind

Falling back into the everyday. Responsibility is different this time around. Almost a decade has been spent in the place you will call your own. The only one you will answer to is yourself. Answering to yourself sounds more terrifying than answer to a board.

Cheers

Travel south for a new adventure. Sleeping in hotels where ghosts walk the hallways. A simpler life you observe. The burros growl while the horses steal your carrot. Nine years since the first date and it still feels new.

Obama Blows

Exit polls read that race is a motivating factor in the voting. This election cycle proves the theory that people only hear 7% of what is said.

Hubert Humphrey said "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."

Ask yourself in what direction does Obama’s moral compass point.

Smile

Climb the stairs and trust imagination. Something you’ve never seen hides behind the door. Yesterdays hallucination is today’s reality. Walk through the halls of the Bavarian monastery where the birds sing lustily. Fall atop the train of peace and close your eyes.

School

Sitting in hotels you always pictured the face. Sending the energy through the mail-was it received? Years pass and conversation commences. Mend the break and grow together. Stop waiting and grab what you want. Override the glitch in your mind and follow the original plan. Numb the sickness and feel the bone. Fall free on to the path you have dismissed.

Commercials

A great marketing campaign sells car insurance and the highest office. Change is something we all hope for but this is much more personal. Our own prejudice is what will shape the next term. Life long republicans switching teams because they have a similar face. Baby boomers coming to terms with their own mortality endorsing the person who is most like them. If the game of politics wasn’t played on television we may choose the person who is actually the best for the job.

Peter Murphy

Read your feelings by looking past the eyes. The rage has been quieted. Look deeper and you will find it. Words flow with in the air with no meaning. Hide until you’re confronted. Sculpt the life you desire. What you offer is simply you-is that enough? Sing you a tune to make you feel. You knew the day the eyes appeared.

Something

Behind her eyes you see the truth you have searched for. Hang with the locals to find out the traditions. Can’t imagine a better life than where you are. Fly through the clouds that you have placed in the path and watch them evaporate. Running your hands through her hair you know she is the missing piece. Good morning my friend, the day will be ours.

Work

Doing it all means doing nothing. Not needing anything but what you have. Lay in the grass while the dogs circle. Say what you mean and they will understand. Your grace reads my thoughts. Three words have tripped you up again. You feel it but you can’t say it.

Bird

Pigeon sitting in front of the door. Mangled foot, broken winged little bird. Stump now lives in the office.

Mormon

Another play thing on its way. We see the color for what it is. Narcissism is the drive.

Share your time

Realizing I may be made for different work. Looking back to where it all started and wondering if it may begin again. The music reminds you of the times you have had to make the shift. The sun hid itself away the majority of your life. Laying awake facing the reality of the situation. Purge the kidney and the fear will disappear. Decide on the direction and commit yourself to the consequence.

Christmas

Bacteria in the air attaches to every inch of you. Empty the space and the sickness will disappear.

Deep

Run it down your spine. My mind will fuck you first. Turn around and crouch in the corner. Your legs quiver. Feel the pain and don’t say a word. Through your blood my restlessness subsides.

Housewife

How in the world did my mother for this for 30 years?

Date Rape

Under your skin she is. The same view from through the window. Stand up and walk out. Still recall the second face. Not much you can do. Fruity Pebbles enjoyed in Atlanta. Take a break in Ohio. Listen to the story now, regret later. Their success is not your responsibility. Let her into your heart before you lose.

Dear Prudence

The sun is up and the sky is blue. Open up your eyes.

Suicide

Cut the cord. Change is your rebirth. End all that causes misery and you shall feel alive.
