S & G
The last train is nearly due,
The underground is closing soon,
And in the dark deserted station,
Restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.
His restless eyes leap and scratch,
At all that they can touch or catch,
And hidden deep within his pocket,
Safe within it's silent socket,
He holds a colored crayon.
Now from the tunnel's stony womb,
The carriage rides to meet the groom,
And opens wide and welcome doors,
But he hesitates, then withdraws
Deeper in the shadows.
And the train is gone suddenly
On wheels clicking silently
Like a gently tapping litany,
And he holds his crayon rosary
Tighter in his hand.
Now from his pocket quick he flashes,
The crayon on the wall he slashes,
Deep upon the advertising,
A single worded poem comprised
Of four letters.
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Shadowed by the exit light
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.

Angry and Maybe Drunk
I wrote this one night a while ago when I was fairly upset. Enjoy
Somedays I feel the need
The need to be more fiscal
In the sense of tomorrow and not today
Today is no longer important
What will you do for me tomorrow
Where are we
When that is even a necessary question
I am looking for the long black train
I am looking for something that will
relieve this stink
No shower will get rid of
I don’t know where to get that cologne
And I don’t know if I would go
If I knew the way
Somedays I feel the need
The need to be more fiscal
In the sense of tomorrow and not today
Today is no longer important
What will you do for me tomorrow
Where are we
When that is even a necessary question
I am looking for the long black train
I am looking for something that will
relieve this stink
No shower will get rid of
I don’t know where to get that cologne
And I don’t know if I would go
If I knew the way
