Stand By Me

sometime balls deep
you'll have her
legs up thrown over
your shoulders
and being the sweetheart
that you are between
strokes you'll kiss her feet
then realize they do
smell worse than yours

Indian Summer

this morning the sun slurs its
color because of the fires and it
reminds me of LA purple haze
on reds just like Science Fiction
but way back then we still went
out the front door like we do now
going to work so when I pull into
my flea market with all that shit
I left out the day before and I find
Freddie Schonchin my old time
partner and great great great
grandson of Chief Schonchin of
the kick-ass Modoc War crashed
out in a pile of clothes I wake him
up with an ice cold King Cobra just
to start the whole thing all over again

OR STARLIGHT ON A SNAPSHOT
OF SMOLDERING CHROME


But that's beside the point.

One Mojo Hand Clapping

for Jim Hayes

their faces are spread too
thin to begin any smile
just be true to yourself
whatever lie it takes

Someone Who Loved You

inside the complications of the
conundrum a flushing toilet of
lost souls has absolutely no
relation to anything you have
ever done or thought about
because fearing death and raising
a few more of us little fuckers
who are just going to be as scared
and lost still isn't proof enough
that anyone should ever be alive
