Compulsively Aimless is devoted to amateur attempts at short poems and random excursions through my bookshelf. The book lists in no way represent complete, well-thought out collection on any particular subject but are what I happen to have on my shelf. Expect lists devoted to travel, adventure, America, history and the unusual.

Words Useful Foul and Savory
Masters of the Universe
Coffee shop idlers
everyone at the center
of their MacBook universe.
Supreme Coffee Brain
After the large latte
and venti dark roast
there were fifteen minutes
where I was at the mountaintop
master of all knowledge
or at least a Sunday New York Times
Then, slowly
my foot slipped from the summit
and I spiraled down the caffeine chasm
crushed in an avalanche
of my pedestrian ignorance
Sound Memory
The sound that comes
from one small town is the place
where I was young.
Outspeak the Dark Music
Frantic man yelling
in the distance
to fugitive listeners
Leaf and star
burn at night
The destiny of diamonds
is dust
Bonehouse is the body
said Beowolf
Words I Like
relic
atmosphere
murmuration
You're No Haiku
Shark fin
old gin
make you grin
Minor Word Distortions
Company Panic
Steel Plates in Head
Home Despot
Artist Rectal
Band Names + Songs
Stage Presence - Last Noise
Milton’s Angels - Robbed of My Heart
Death Trick - Idiot of Man
Bad Samaritans - Red Changes Everything
Memory Tricks
If life is so precious
we shouldn’t forget any of it,
or come equipped with better memories.
