The assignment was to place Huckleberry Finn in modern day New York and write a short story.  I was a high school kid in the 80s and only spent a few field trips in New York.  Of course, I watched many TV shows and I did have my imagination.  Mr. V didn’t cotton to me.  I was aContinue reading “BEASTLY BUT BEAUTIFUL (flash fiction(?))”

And postulating on poetry and wondering if the inspiration can be found in mown grass and dry summer nights as the beer is no longer enough to fire my soul a green fairie is beckoned with a belief in transcendence or at least a serious buzz HALF ASS KEROUAC SIPPING ABSINTHE | PostPoems JUST WHENContinue reading “HALF ASS KEROUAC SIPPING ABSINTHE”

I found Duende & then lost it among the papers & notebooks scattered on desks & shelves  & under beds. It made a cameo on a poemwritten on a napkin in a brewpub in Vermont only to smudge into oblivion. Over time, it occurred & reoccurred  in haunted alleys, bus station bathrooms; even the rare sightingContinue reading “I FOUND DUENDE”

Loved ones stay with you after death; They continue to live on in your heart and soul. They continue to haunt your memories and dreams. My father passed on 17 years ago but still makes cameos & guest spots in my dreams  from time to time and amazingly, after all these years, he’s still callingContinue reading “DUMBASS”

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”

He all too often promoted himself as a lone wolf.  I never understood the notion.  Wolves tend to find their greatest success in packs.  This lonely notion fostered by dreams of James Dean and a rebel without a cause.  It never led to any happiness or success.  He was a lone wolf and he wore the mask with great pride.  IContinue reading “LONE WOLF”

Ferlinghetti called poetry eternal graffiti and I guess he may have a point.  Poetry at its finest will make an indelible impression on the human heart and soul.  It is recklessly but pristinely spray painted across one’s consciousness.  The bright colors and the elaborate structure of the lettering looms large in one’s vision.  The words dance across a subconsciousContinue reading “SUBCONSCIOUS SAHARA”

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”
