Cancer is Winter: /

Hard on the outer shell /

Opens inner seeds.

New Year’s Eve

Tomorrow somewhere /

the old treatments linger.

“Impressions”

Impressions

All we leave behind: /

Impressions for those who care /

And dirt for others.

Help me scatter birds.

“One Percenter Blues”

One Percenter Blues

My Merc is great

My cup holders rate

My seats auto warm

My bunions and corns.

I got the one percenter blues.

My maid’s an alien

Her English is failin’

I keep explainin’

That her taxes are makin’ her

One of these one percenter blues.

I got our money

All sweet as golden honey

My life is plu-sunny

For me and my rare bunny.

I got the one percenter blues.

They juggle God’s balls.
