There are still times that I get carded in bars or venues. It’s usually an indication that the establishment sits in an uptight municipality or they recently got tagged for selling booze to (too) young’uns. I won’t give them too much trouble since they’re really just doing their jobs. And also, a lot of venues have guys atContinue reading “MOISTURIZING CREAM”

SHOT OF JAMESON TO CHASE THE BEER
I skipped out on the poetry reading at the free library where I was scheduled to read a new brewpub opened just down the street and my whistle required a little wetting so I walked down the street oblivious to any consequences or hurt feelings attached my name was on the list for the openContinue reading “SHOT OF JAMESON TO CHASE THE BEER”

IT AMAZES ME
It amazes me I think in blue rhyme of language splattered across sullen minds of timid boys pistol whipped by sergeants and bullied into this transgression by subconscious dreams.

DAY OF RECKONING
Sitting at the Trestle Inn indulging in a Trestlewide. There’s a candle on the table and a video on the wall. It’s footage of Nancy Sinatra presumably singing “These Boots Are Made for Walking” but there’s no audio. There’s a young lady on stage in the backroom dancing some go-go.

UBER VS. TROLLEY
You finish up a poetry reading at a coffee shop in West Philly. You feel you missed your mark on your performance. Things were a little off. Well, those are the breaks that we have to live with.
