John W. McEwers Poems

They walk among us, you or me,
they take each other down,
a notch or two.
They wear button-down shirts and plain ties.
...

Etch my life into stars
so they can shine my name
and you'll all remember me
when I am gone to Maine
...

Too much light in life.
The dark must take my life.
Until my dark is rife
With my aging life.
...

Forgot lies, she said
and she said forget the flowers
they weren't pretty, you know,
you knew they weren't and thats why
...

The best part of this bed
Is not the pillows or the
Springs
Or that I can bounce a bit when
...

While driving north
past Starbucks and the pizza place on the corner
you cut me off so that you could turn east
at the yellowing light
...

I was once in a band
in school long ago
when the Poison was big
as their hair
...

Double it
make it bigger
super size my nature
so I can reach out and touch it
...

They crawl
and fall
on their backs
big shells
...
