Every few months, I clear the scraps out of my journal and put them outside for your amusement. Here's a few just in time for Black Friday Clearance. Our prices are insane.
Timing is Everything
You feel it in your bones
Time to let the dogs roam
Time to quit throwing stones
Time for boys and girls to come home
Time for a grandson to pick up the phone.
Sun Watcher
Travel east to see where the sun comes
Travel west to see where the sun goes
Travel north or south
to see if it will reach you high or low.
Quiet
Clam up
Pipe down
Shut up
The Battle of Yellow No. 2 Ft. Ticonderoga
My weapon struggles
to cross the blank pages
and the scale the heights of meaning
only to lose the element surprise
and forfeit my dreams of glory.
Orange to Black
Orange sunset--
you get a couple of moments of color
before the big black of night.
Follow Your Dreams
Dreams can be balloons
that pull you up to the clouds
or
lead weights that drag you down
to the bottom of the sea.
Unrelated Couplets
Cross Dress Chess
Oooh what a mess!
You got a boat
Now stay afloat.
Bad Chinese Meal
Unfortunate Cookies
foretell something bad,
"Your bank account will be hacked."
Another installment in a series of never-ending, pointless exercise to generate band names

Numbers in Charge
Whether I want it or not
numbers are in charge
my alarm is set to 6:45AM
my bathroom scale gives me a large number
radio station, a low number--
reporting weather in numbers
traffic on numbered interstates
the markets in percentages
sports teams in numbers.
I drive, cook, and work
with numbers calling the shots
in time for the 6 o'clock news.
How did we live before numbers?
they were always there
Like they say about Christopher Columbus
he did not discover a continent
he just found what was already there.
