Poems p.1

Concert Crowd
Weaving through the crowd,
A drunken boy - he way high, man.
Way high.
He want girl, and woo her
By rolling one eye,
One way,
The other eye,
Somewhere else.
Wide smiles at sky,
At ground,
Even directed to girl
Sometime.
Like teeth beacon,
She also high,
Gone.
Seeing no burdens
to her pain.
She see only boy,
She not see future,
Or even present.
Together,
They sink,
Sink into sound,
Into crowd,
Into earth.
Waking later.
And later.

See Stars?
I don’t think I see this
Satellite image,
This blurry mess,
You say it’s stars, a galaxy?
Possible life out there.
I most certainly hope
For life out there.
Being there be none here.

No Face
I saw a man with no face,
There were shoes, I’m sure,
And arms that waved about,
There was quite a sense of motion,
And a flurry of activity in the vicinity around him

Perhaps I didn’t look carefully enough,
Or a wisp of air passed my eyes,
And blotted out that particular orb
Where eyes, and nose and mouth
Most usually reside.

Easy Happiness
Answering a knock on my door,
I found a young man clutching bibles,
and inquiring if I had found true happiness

I replied that I had,
And closed the door.
