Show Poem: September 5, 2017 Lansing, MI @ The Fledge #poetry 

Talk of death over muffins
Overcoming the unfortunate
Political associations of
Taco bowls at Macho Mas

Not waiting for inspiration
I will inspire. Then I wait…

Standing here at life’s grand ledge
Pineapple dreams
Luxury in flux
Every imperfection is a diamond
Waiting to be cut out

Is it too early to touch you
My favorite is the no hands style
Where I sleep another hour
And you stop waking me up
With your breathing.

The writing is on the wall
Until it’s painted over
And someone writea on top of that
And then someone hangs a
Pairing over the writing

Staring at the chair
Sitting on a work of art

A TV in every pot
No one cares about tv any more
People care about the dance
The dance in everything
Everything is about the dance
There is a dance in every little thing

Show Poem: September 4, 2017 Michigan City, IN @ Quality Beet #poetry 

For a few days I forgot I was trying
And it was beautiful. I think
I didn’t know

Sometimes you say things
No one understands
Even you. Especially you

I love you for that
And now you are dead
And I love you equally
You taught me some rewards
Come from a great deal of thinking
And some do not
But there is a third. Something later
That love is endless
When viewed from a moving car
Like all this Iowa corn
And for that I love you
Dead or alive John Ashbury

The electric cocktail dresses
That hold it all together
Indulging revisionist compulsions
Working the freedom weights
What to do with the other 23 hours

Show Poem: September 3, 2017 Rock Island, IL @ Rozz Tox #poetry 

Share and share differently
Everyday, please…
While begging for fish sticks
Hearing of nuclear winters
Or paddle boating in September
Acrosss warm sheets of glass.
When remembering and noting
Reflecting on the past
And how important it was or is
Now…

Sexy not sexy.
Remember September

I’m burning, burning up
With totally even keeld
Contentment.

I am filled with mad passion
For the perfect balance
Of the needs of others
And mine

I have a powerful powerfulthirst
To feel pain only
To extent that it
Prevents me
From causing pain to others

I live on a mountain
Beneath the sea
Surrounded by space
Filled with nothing but time

Want a cup cake?
Please ask for assistance.
