Last Chance!

To those of you

Who’ve found a love,

Or maybe just a date,

Tomorrow you’ll

Have happiness

From early until late.

For those like me

Who are alone,

Why are you still reading this?

You’ve still got

Some hours left!

Find something not-too-gross to kiss!

Tag, Circa 2016

I used to think the male gender,

Was a role in which I fit.

I was happy being “he”

Until they said “you’re it.”

A Boy Named Goose

My friends all shouted “goose”

As the spear flew towards my head.

I might be alive today

If they shouted “duck” instead.

What’s Missing

On my iPad

I can write,

Listen to music

Or make my own.

I make spreadsheets,

Surf the web,

And instantly sync

With my iPhone.

I can download

All the knowlege

Of humanity

Or pics of a cat.

By default it has everything

I could want

Except a calculator,

‘Cause who needs that?

Domestic Departure

Her skin smells of home

Like a freshly-cooked meal.

Her hair gleams in the sun.

Like a newly mopped floor.

Her eyes are as blue

As just-cleaned toilet water.

Too bad she doesn’t

Live here anymore.

One Of Those Times

Brute strength can’t do everything.

Stamina has limits.

Despite how hard you try

Not every couplet rhymes.

You can lose your focus.

You can lose your mind.

Life might not gives you lemons,

And maybe not even limes.

Sometimes you write two stanzas

Before you realize

That you have no conclusion.

But you don’t want to erase.

Sometimes you write “you”

When referring to yourself.

Next time you write this poem

Instead use “what’s your face.”

Starcrossed Nemeses

She was like a James Bond villain:

Charismatic, certainly,

And she had a pool of sharks

And talked nonstop to me.

That suited me just fine.

I’ve also got an evil brain,

But I’m the type of bad guy

With bad teeth who gets thrown off a train.

Don’t Write  a Poem When You’re Hungry

My mind is a pomegranate:

Juicy, seedy,

And it leaves stains on whatever it touches.

You don’t know how it opens

And it takes hours to process

And doesn’t fill you up.

Luckily my heart is some type of meat,

Probably liver.

Mmmm… Liver.

The Good Life

You haven’t bought an ostrich

For several months at least,

Nor have you cooked a lemon

In chestnuts, corks, or yeast.

You’ve never thrown a hand grenade

At some Windex in L.A.

So quit telling me you’re bored

And please just go away.

You Can Be Too, With Just Two Easy Payments…

Badass is a state of mind.

Take a photographer

Who takes pictures of weddings

For Mrs. And Mr.

He’s not traditionally cool,

But in his head

He’s a ninja in disguise

Taking photos of the wed. 

Or take the guy at the Chevron

Who pumps your tank of gas.

He knows if you get mouthy

He’ll “swipe anywhere” on your ass.

Take a look around you

At the wallpaper, lights, and your shoes.

These could all be badasses

If they had the desire to choose.
