90 Seconds To The End

We’re Doomed. — 90 Seconds. That’s all that is left. What can you do with 90 seconds? Call someone, text? Scream out the window? Nobody is going to hear you. They are already panicking. The ones that gave up found a bottle or bit a bullet, but I’m still here. How will the end come? Sky? Air? Or will I not see it coming? I could…

The Webs We Weave

I’ve been thinking about Collateral Damage. — It is amazing the webs we weave, the webs others create around us, that invisible spiderweb we just walk into. Is it all to catch a fly, or is it an intricate game to eliminate the one that stands in your way? You can’t make a direct attack, so you…

I Will Never See You Again

Dedicated to the Roscoe Smith Estate — It’s been a long time living with you, my friend, and I’ll tell you all about it when I drive by you again. We’ve come a long way from where we began. Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I drive by you again. If I see you again. …

Red Graves With White Crosses

Poetry — I didn’t know your name. Even if I did, I wouldn’t know what to call you. Did you have a nickname? Did you even like your name, and what about those you left behind? Where have they gone now? Do they still carry your name, or do they hide themselves…

My Screens Have Run Dry

Dedicated To The Writers and Actors On Strike — I saw her crying across the screen, and my heart broke, my pain was hers. I couldn’t turn away, and her son ran by across the screen, chasing paper airplanes, yelling that he would slay the dragon. My son giggled, hurrying away to make his own paper airplanes, and said that he too would slay the dragon. My husband shook…

He’s Running Up That Hill

Will others follow? — It’s time for the political machine to grind to a halt and reconsider its wheels that need to run forward not backward. …

June Ends With A Big Bang

We Are Too Comfortable With Death Threats
