Silent Thoughts


Would you mind if I kissed you
Caressed your face
May I watch you from here
Or there
Your perfection in my soul
May I hold your hand
And swing our arms in joy
Can I wrap my arms around you
Hold you protective to myself
Will you let me live with you
As one man and woman
May I love you
May I love you
Will you hold me close
Comfort me as my end draws near
Forever I will love
Forever I have loved you

In Queue at the Windsor


We are all nice people
Apparently respectable
Middle age wide paunch saggy bummed
Academics and professionals and government workers
With the token mix of derelict
Abandoned in this stairway
In this building
Where the homeless abode
Denizens of those not blessed by God
With the good sense to secure a living
Entertained briefly by the soon to be tossed
To bear witness to the bouncer
Aggressive firm and polite
False appal silent approval
Our eyes avert the dispute when the outside door shuts
The concert will start soon
A murmur: Stew is here
Who?
Stew!
Couldn’t help it… who is Stew to you?
Stew is from the radio station,
At the U
He loves this down under artist
And is the reason we know to come to see him
In this down under building
Adorned with these graffitical ads
Of the venerable northern educational facility
Pukatawagan University
Puk-U
And so goes the queue

Opening Statement to Trial


You are no longer relevant
So says the former lover
"I miss you" formed
Then instantly denied
A lie?
Or survival?
Or truth?

Your Honour.
