This morning, I popped into Kroger. As I get close to the door; I notice employees are just standing there watching …. something. It’s one of those moments; you have those thoughts, do I have dog poop on my pants? Leaves and twigs in my hair? What? They draw my attention to a man inContinue reading “Morning Moments”

True
“To thine own self to true.” How, when you’re not sure who you are?” “To thine own self to true.” How, when the world fights against you? “To thine own self to true.” And the world will crucify you. Taken from ‘The Reconstruction of Me’. A collection of poems I started in the early 2,000’s.Continue reading “True”
We are the stage…

10
Most of the time; I have to peel, back the layers to discover if they are real. Memories of times long past. That were not a blast. For a fact I knew; at 10, my little world changed. From childhood, I became estranged. At 10, work was introduced. Not for “the man”, as it were.Continue reading “10”

Stop the Clatter
Shouldn’t have opened my mouth. Shouldn’t have said a word. Should have kept it bottled inside the way I always do. I didn’t want a lecture. I didn’t want a speech. I wanted someone to listen to me. Someone to vent to. Someone to let the pressure out to. Someone to just listen to me.Continue reading “Stop the Clatter”

You’re Fired
August 25th, 2015; where were you? This isn’t as thought provoking as asking ‘where we’re you when the Challenger exploded? Or where we you when JFK was shot? Where were you when the World Trade Center was hit?’ 8-25-2015 was a life changing day for me. I got fired. First time ever. It hurt myContinue reading “You’re Fired”
Green
for the green that does not grow we break our backs throughout our lives the seed we must sow in order to make up for the green we lack some rob, cheat, and steal to get pictures of presidents so grand others will grind the mill and hope time will work a plan we haveContinue reading “Green”
Excommunicated
Excommunication! Manipulation. Silence. How dare you! You will need me. Silence. I can. You can. Manipulation. Do as I say. Not as I do. Manipulation. Moan. Complain. Be silent! Abandon. Need. Manipulation. There is a built in need in every child to have a relationship or bond with our birth parents. This need is deepContinue reading “Excommunicated”
