The Block Island Sound
Dropping an eel for striped bass
A Day Moon Rising

I've heard some good ones
From church to jail
The best one being
I didn't know how to inhale.

Some claim that women love them
And can't keep them away even with a scoff
Meanwhile they hang around
Other men in vacant lots.

Because I'd been burned
I used to belittle and scold
But what I've learned
All of us our only playing our life role.

written in a lonely hotel room on a woeful night

Following two insight leads is
worse than following three blind mice.
Just as everything that is
Sugar and spice
is
not necessarily nice.
Those easy to grab things could be
nothing more than a pack of lice
and like a bruise on the knee,
can best be treated with something colder than ice.
