Hey Man
Hey man, what ya think’n

Been a long time, since I’ve seen you
Do you remember when
Do you remember then
Hey man, what ya think’n bout now
Hey man, What ya dream’n bout now
Thought I’d stop by one last time to say goodbye
Was just the other day we said hi
I know its gotten hard […]
Distressed Leather
I spotted the 9 foot leather couch in a bay window on Beacon Street. The owners gladly sold it to me when I pulled out a wad of cash.
I situated the dark leather sofa at the center of my loft with the rest of the furniture taking on a supporting role.

Glass Light
Exploding through the glass brick wall the suns light captured Killarney, creating a dark silhouette, preventing me from seeing her expressions.

Hand In Hand

Her eyes plumbed deeply as they met mine, her freckles took on determination as she realized I was no gentleman.
Brilliantly the wine server handed us each a straw that we brought simultaneously to […]
Attention Comrades
“Attention comrades the majority have spoken, Trotsky is redeemed.”
The crowd roared in excitement.
“Today we call upon the workers for their help to reinvigorate the World Communist Party and to equality for people everywhere.”

Toasted BLT
Getting sick had benefits I hold onto even decades after childhood.

After working all night mom squeezed fresh orange juice then sat for a few moments holding my hand.
Lunch time meant toasted BLTs on rye served with lots of ginger ale.
Sometimes a […]
Olive Oil
I turned the bottle on its head, gurgle gurgle is all it said.
Receiving it’s taste I give thanks to the Italian mystery.
Olive oil in my veins swirling then merging with life.
I’m insane in my big leather chair pouring Carapelli down my chest.
The oil spreads out pooling in my lap, slowly covering jeans in green.
Olive […]

Around the Corner
Thirty years had passed to this point yet what did I do but hesitate to round the corner.
No one would recognize me yet my heart continued to race in my throat.
Twenty years […]
Squeeze Me
Within reach of her grail Ellen breathed in the the stainless aesthetic, then slowly exhaled as she placed her order.
The vendor folded back the stainless door releasing the aroma filled steam into the surrounding courtyard.
Silver tongs diving deep and returning with a rich plump hot dog expertly placed in a delightfully warm bun.
Ellen received […]
