Show Poem: September 17, 2017 Murray, KY @ Terrapin Station #poetry 

Red riding lawn mowers
Sirloin stockade prison break
Marshall tucker flute solo
Chinese Korean Thai Sushi Roll
Hot pink mossy oak
Drunken noodle support group

We are all here for each other
Sometimes we hold things
Sometimes we hold each other
These are the best times

I know the world is not against me
But today, it’s really pissing me off

Clouds hold their positions
Like petrified explosions

You were my hero this morning
I fought you every step of the way
Sometimes I have to fall
To see you grow
Your mercy is the trees
Along the highway
My lesson is the love that happens
In the quite pauses

Show Poem: September 16, 2017 Cincinnati , OH @ Northside Yacht Club #poetry 

Close up pictures of fresh vegetables
Ten minute long guitar solos
Handsome Harley Race

You try to stay in the middle
And you cry just a little
Massage the frequencies
Mix the highs and lows

Charter an exploratory mission
For the perfectly
Temperature controlled environment
Yacht rock at Starbucks
Rock stars at the Yacht Club

Grandpa’s Cheesbarn
Sea salt and vinegar
Old people are sensitive
Being so ugly is no picnic either

So many steak houses.
Have you ever eaten steak and felt good?
The man thing kills us
The romance
The studio trickery
That evil in between period
When we’re both a child and and adult.
Making the slow move
From tonic to seltzer
We cherish the taste buds
As they slowly disappear

Show Poem: September 15, 2017 Youngstown, OH @ Cedars #poetry 

Red dirt hill along the highway
Tired tracks of falling rocks

Is that a raccoon in road
Or just an old glove?
Sausage in the glove box
Turtle on a sweatshirt
We are now entering the fog zone

Trees line the mountain side
Like scattered hairs along an enormous ear

Over sharing Cracker Barrel waitres
Everybody’s tired
Sometimes it feels like
Success would just destroy us

Standing on trial at the food court
Fried green tomato potato chips
Stevie Knicks on the camp fire
I still recall that phone message
From my sister “I, I love her. I love her. I love her. I love her. I love her so much.”
