Killing

Only two ways

You can justify

Killing a critter:

If you’re aiming to eat it,

Or it’s fixin’ to eat you.

Death and Dying

Don’t matter diddly

When, where,

Or how

You die.

Important thing is,

Don’t take it personal.

New Poems

Short Prose

The Banker

His smile is like a cold toilet seat.

He shakes my hand as if he’s found it

floating two weeks dead in a slough.

I tell him I need money.

Tons of it.

I want to buy a new Lamborghini,

load it with absinthe and opium,

and hit the trail out of these rainy hills

for a few years in Paris.

I try to explain

I’m at that point in my artistic development

where I require a long period

of opulent reflection.
