A Poem From One of My Chapbooks
It Pays to Behave Oneself Wisely
it pays to behave oneself wisely
in the halls of polity
where your reputation is in a scope
it pays to behave oneself wisely
on lonely corners of any metropolis
where possibilities of the con may exist
it pays to behave oneself wisely
in enclaves of good old boys
where they play with burning crosses
it pays to behave oneself wisely
in all realms, dwellings and journeys where poison asps hatch
where ravenous wolves roam

Courage
ill, distraught, wounded
each movement of each limb strained
my courage exam

Discouragement
storms glaring at me
discouragement makes me blue
weeping, seeking light

A Poem From One of My Chapbooks
The Nakedness of Arrogance
seems there are gods and lords ruling parts of this world
as the wide gap between
rich and poor widens more
as rifts between classes rupture open loudly
we stand gazing with mouths agape astonished at the stark, pompous gait
of their brash nakedness

Adrift
did not plan to write
nonetheless my mood adrift
scribble pen scribble

Simplicity
resort to farmland
which is far, far, far away
from complexities
