A poem that isn’t willing to fight for its life is not worth pursuing.

Drifting

I’ve just realized something,
   the poet speaks,
as cars materialize and disappear
   tumbling wrong angles
on this malinformed trip

Vignette in frosty light

You stumble out of a bar.
Then you’re sitting on a bench.
By the time you’re in the car you’re reading Bukowski.
You both laugh, until Charlie throws that killer punch of his.

Now there is silence.

Now there is silence.

A silent vignette in frosty light.
