And You are Not Alone

Something takes a part of me when I see you Old, almost forgotten demons haunt me And I see that you are not alone But you never see me when I am with others If only I could get returned that sense of self that Made me strong, but still, I am barely recovered Because […]

2004

Iraq is in the prayers of the world, while America is burned and shot down. The untouchables sell their Indian goods to Katie and Jocelyn. Communicating across cultures Bush-isms preach family and blindness while The serpent is stripped of regeneration and made phallic as Haiti riots for water ad Canada keeps its door unlocked and […]

Poetry: Time

Tick, tock; the echo of the clock the chiming, rhyming repetitiously against the hour it’s white elegant face, round and smooth, yet, counting away life’s pleasures steadfastly.

Why are you disturbing Me while I’m writing? You know I hate that, especially when I’m on a roll mmm…rolls, warm with […]

The Reflecting Darkness

They look at him His face covered by a dark veil Incomprehensive They analyze him Why is he hiding? What has he done? They look at him His face covered by a veil Incomprehensive He analyzes them He sees that the people around him are dark He looks at them as they hide behind their […]

Go! Just do something, anything

Leave Maine or you’ll come to an end Join Boston for a delay Jennifer Lopez sang songs to be Puerto Rican in the Bronx Well, ruminate over the dollar bills No, they are 50 cents at the lowest Honk the horn and they will drive with rage or they’ll think you’re horny. Have you figured […]
