Man 1

Through a tall glass of beer

we see

we capture

the odd-shaped men who sing in the chorus.

Our pamphlet and briefing

materials (supplemental)

assured us the men have little

chance of belonging to families.

One of the new recruits

wears a bucket hat

and uses his chewed fingernails

to extract the first man.

We breathe on him.

We return without reward.

Soccer from the Sidelines

He called me a Jew,

Donny did.

I learned his name

at a basketball game.

I am not a Jew.

This moment is indifferent.

This finger and thumb are confused.

He threw small portions of gravel

at me and the team I belonged to.

Donny’s team wore black.

We all wore red.

After the game,

we went to McDonalds

and got ice cream and Coke.

Long Time - No See (am i a caveman?)

That phrase always sounded prehistoric to me.

I'll toss a poem or two on here shortly. Getting back into the "swing of things" this new semester. Riding my bike to class now. Been some cold morning here in Morgantown, WV. I'm bundled up like an Inuit!
