there’s always someone criticizing,
someone to lay all the blame.
the sky’s not blue enough,
love is not deep enough.
the queen of the road
is a king in drag.
the tell all books
don’t tell it all.
the naive believe the fear
the world is at its worst.
it’s a gamble to breath
two breaths at once.
heaven is not paradise
compared to palm springs.
key west is not far behind
when looking for mortality.
the cock is too long
and the day is too short.
tomorrow will be here soon.
sink your teeth in
a new coat of paint.
against your will
dance like you used to.
a dream so real
you wake up a beat poet.
broken arms and legs
from crawling on stones.
deny the weatherman
no matter sunshine or rain.
everything is perfect
even when it’s not.
