What have I gotten myself into?
A commune of faggots, dilettantes,

The Foothills
The foothills are rueful and evasive today
Their outline glow seems palled and
The twilight reluctant to give up the light
The sun a dull emboss on weak pink,... more »

Comments about Eddie Roa
Leaving By Taxi
Tell him not to go
Tug at his coat sleeves
Cry out in plea
Won’t you?
He’s going now
All suited up in black
Sullen cabbie waits
In a gaudily festooned hack
Cab fare is ready
Two minted coppers
Covering his twin orbs
As the flag went down
The taxi crept
In an unhurried pace
The radio droned a hymn
I heard it hum a somber tune
The hack bucked and sputtered
As he bade goodbye to each block
Past known haunts and faces
Turning last into a gated arch
Funny, I like it! Go Girls!
