canned peaches
the peach was not enough.
it had to be picked
and carved,
sliced into quarters
and factory canned
with syrup to make it
sweeter than it ever was.
than a picture goes
on the side.
a tree full of peaches
luscious and fat,
so hard they tried.

the blind heart
lightness of foot
the rain day
Maybelline
for the queen
all the love there ever was
south beach christmas
where to put them
chasing a chicken
a mere forty years
nothing changes
internet dating 101
money from heaven
we make a toast
bemused
all is else is forgotten
it comes naturally
i try to keep her there
you need to go to kansas for a real pie
the tax lady
harmonica time
it's how they roll
we take nothing with us
taxed again
sacred sages
no one was there
the saved
mingo
she's still sick
a reminder
Saint Anthony
a clue this is not going to work
the lost weekend
stewed tomatoes
working on my triceps
feels cold in here
all in the game
waiting to get out
what others are up to
what's the rush
the apology card
cold soup
cheer up
beyond words
no whisper, no shout
fresh fish
jack hammer time
pandemic patty
too many choices
the dark side
two shows per day
too early to decide
there will be tears
bring on the babies
cat suit
just come on in
a bumpy ride
sorry that i'm not more sorry
in the beginning
she wants a full time man
been here before
finding light
do you have a minute
a sea without fish
i don't like people
even hearts change
raising the white flag
chopsticks
undeveloped film
a simpler time
the new world
home before dark
the home run
the hippy chick
kidney pie
the serious talk
not surprised
the anniversary
you can't live without them
below the ice
fleeting
more rocks
what's keeping you
that new car smell
what's the deal here
being good is hard
the replica
falling forward
how easy it was back then
saltine crackers
the weight of parents
knowing more
not a bad place to be
some say
this is the sea
my primary care doctor
tom cat days
this shoe doesn't fit
two coats please
the relic
