Ted Sheridan Poems

I just went to the grocery for the third time this week
My wife keeps running out of crap like coffee...or creamer
I never drink coffee...never...under any circumstances....
I'm only addicted to the booze and masturbation
...

There is always tomorrow
or next year___
Bruised fruit and dull cutlery
pretty much sum up your life today....
...

The price of gasoline at the pump jumped so high;
therein robbing me of my play money, forcing me to eat
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, brown bagged
like an immature child enrolled in secondary school economics.
...

There is a black hole where all the pepperoni goes...
It can be found on a Sunday afternoon
Me tucking my buttocks under and my belly in,
adjusting my dough and package; while she
...

blessed be the pure of mind
who will turn a blind eye
to the poetic forms of porn
written by
...

When someone is a person of questionable integrity
and they have committed dubious acts in their past
many years of civil service to society and then they suddenly are befallen
with a fatal disease; (other than Liberalism….which is only a mental disorder)
...

I choose to maintain a positive attitude;
There were no earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
hurricanes or tornados within a five hundred mile
radius of my present location. Not one species
...

I’ve noticed of late
that as I have aged
most things have taken on
a very different role in my life
...

Bukowski sent me a high priority email
from his luxurious bungalow hideaway.
He’s living on an island in the Pacific; said
that Amelia had landed safely….
...

The smell of death stole my morality and my innocence.
About the time I turned twenty; almost overnight
I’d forgotten how to play peaceful like….
the weapons were real.
