the prison guard
i have a flashback
of my
prison guard.
she's at my cell.
standing there, rattling
my cage.
it's just a dream,
but just the same,
it feels real.
scary.
frightening.
it's all very very strange.
i can't wait to wake
up and shake
it out of my head.
to unfasten
the chains.

we stayed up too late
waiting to be plucked
at the end of the day
her train wreck
unlocked door
the wrong train
some do
your password is weak, yo
come down off the cross
skeleton
wanting home
the possessive apostrophe
the parade of friends
memorial day club
have at it
sheep's clothing
falling prey
back to black
the leaf blowers
counting her chickens
rain checks
the clara barton parkway
etc....
bone dry on angst
if you could be a tree
the peppermint twist
pink flamingo
you're such a good listener
blastoff
the holy ground
the orbit
post card from o. c.
it's your turn
nothing here is true
and the beat goes on
you have a baby now?
it's me, not you
removing sutures
what?
the yard sale
neither good or bad
the apple juice depository
stalker flowers
resurrection
the year book
milk spilled
down in mexico
her favorite room
come up and see my etchings
when you find what you're looking for
the ice box
what's your number
serenity now
knowing where you stand
graduation and then what
just one year
the bedtime prayer
at this point in my life
all else follows
your lot in life
the optimist online date
december 26 2018
nine lives, or more
evil freckles
he or she, not they
just one will do
a box of things
burying the sword
the arrival
i do have this leaky pipe
the kitchen drawer
did you have a fun weekend?
in hospice
cheaper to keep her
the nice day guilt
everything is clearer
hazmat pajamas
another ten minutes
be a good boy
from the outside looking in
no more wishes please
life moving forward
the fine art
the pool party invite
the love drug
her scissors
the first taste
going to work and coming home
meditation
she would be happy then
cat and mouse
je ne sais pas
it's the same old song again
meet me at the bar
conformity
alive and well
the year of no roses
the horrors
in the other room
throwing stones
