A poem a day
Enough to say
What little truth
My life has found.
...
On the morning you prepare for T.V.
If post pubescent male
You must shave three times
Each blade finer than the next
...
In the early adult years every Saturday
He would listen to opera
...
When the writing devil strikes I write
Inspired by an overpriced candy bar
Or earth’s arc at 40,000 feet
It does not matter
...
The hamburger girl smiles nicely at my gray hairs
I look forward to placing my order with her
The manager can not tolerate the chaos of success
Sweeps in and takes my order
...
Two at dinner black and white
No longer a rare sight
Will prove they are truly tight
In weathering color blind storms
...
After the run for ice cream
After the dinner guests have left
After the dog is walked and cat given obligatory insulin
I read her poetry,
...
What was the budget surplus
May be the moat in his eye,
Bill Clinton was a very good actor
Half the country believed him in his greatest role
...
