Eye 95 Retarred

Remember those nights on the set,
After everyone had gone,
Chugging PBR
Popping chocolate covered espresso beans
Writing cues?
These chocolate covered espresso beans remind me
Of your tattoos.

Eternal Glamnation

This is where I am.
Heaven or hell?
Now others have joined me,
and I am no longer drinking alone.
But there is no bacon
which they promised me.

Picture Window

Stuck between the sticky and the post
Hours drag my heart behind
And I'm losing this race
While my face shines,
My words trap the passerby.
Fatebook whispers its soliloquies as
Names change and cells shift,
Commitment changes hands,
And I sit,
Still,
In front of this picture window,
This moving picture show.

Their painted faces,
White rimmed eyes, cry for justice
Flip this art denied!

You just can't say no.
Use your own voice, build off gifts
Given, learned, and sowed.

To the zoo, I went
And saw, myself fifty years
gone, paint brush in hand.

There is a Dragon

There is a dragon inside your school.
Roaming the hallways, seeking out ghouls.

               Tough and majestic, silly and sweet;
               Friend to the strong, protector of weak.

               A dragon who cries, breathes fire and might;
               Guarding a treasure during the moonlit night.

               When all is quiet, when children have gone;
               when doors have all closed with a whisper of song –

               The dragon appears on its nightly patrol.
               There is a dragon inside your school.

In the Evening -

I never want to
Write it, I want to live it
To blow this box out.

Of a week end break.

Creeping up the vertebrae:
