More of My Poetry

1988

Smoking some weed-
Down a back street,
Climbing a fence
(Falling over a fence)
To the Ice House, old
Gas station on Little Road
Playing Sky Kid, drinking Cokes
Eating Skittles, smoking Marlboros,
Ignoring the happenings
On the other side of the fence;
It was clear those things
Didn't apply to us.


Dream of Being Someone Else

Last night I dreamed:
I was someone wonderfully normal-
someone extraordinarily financially well-off
with a big house and a beautiful spouse.
The perfect daughter didn't seem
to be in the dream
(my daughter! my ducats!)
but there were a lot of dogs.
Messy, funny, wonderful dogs.
I chased them all around the house.
And boy it felt normal to be someone else.
