  • For Granted

    The past is slanted  Maybe by all the words that were chanted  What were his last words?  Did they fly away with the birds?  He shouldn’t have taken me for granted 

  • King

    He was the king of stalking  When people thought he was just walking  At the end of the day  No one knew what to say  Then immediately started talking 

  • Stars

    Everyone stared at the stars  Wishing they could trap them in jars  Lying in the cold, soft grass  Listening to the neighbor’s bluegrass  Coming out of six string guitars

    I tried to send her away  To look out over the bay  I only wanted to leave  So I could finally get a reprieve  Because the skies were turning grey

    He was an honorable man  Who had always been obsessed with Batman  When he got into trouble  He started seeing double  When he saw the twin doorman 

  • Bee Sting

    On the day he hurt his knee  He said he only wanted to talk to me  But instead, he sat outside  And tended to his wounded pride  To admit he had been stung by a bee 

  • Knowing

    All day and all night  I had never had such a fright  I knew well enough  But I was trying to be tough  But it all came down to the bomb site 

  • Limerick Zine
