John W. McEwers Poems

Neighbor's got a dog
big as the moon
comes equipped with scary teeth
and a train brakes bark
...

I can still smell the decaying, crusty, stale
smoke from your dirty, yellowed butts
sitting upright, downright, and leftright in the ashtray by the dash.
...

Hairy little cheeks wont save you now
little burger boy 'bout as round as a cow
maybe someday you'll have figured out
that girls dont like it when you shout
...

We used to hold hands
on elevator rides
go out for coffee
or an after work
...

Remember when you saw me walking
down the same street as you and we looked
into each other?
...

The clock on the wall is the only light
a soft white glow, a moon behind clouds,
I cannot read the time.
...

I am going home
because it's just too hot in here
from cigarette smoke
cigarettes and beer fumes
...

Moody night
monday night
everybody had a bad day
sad day
...

Only when she approachers I strike
and she knows how a kiss can be a deadly
game
of cat and mouse
...
