Mirror on Wall Street
Go on—
Satisfy the mob
Mentality, keep good
Looking at yourself
Through a glass
Eye darkly.

Evening, towards Night
In this mean neighborhood,
Under the light cast by
The streetlight opposite
The derelict house, a lone
White horse shining, a lamp
In a vacant lot.

The Ferryman on Upward Mobility
No matter how hard you tried
Mate, you’re still here
Being taken down a river
At low tide—
So put up your obol and shut up,
Hold your hands over your eyes,
Enjoy the rest of your ride.

Love is More Than a Series of Hackneyed Rhymes and Worn-out Clichés
That is
Only if you save it,
But not for a rainy day—
Remember
There’s not a cloud
In the sky—
Promise
You won’t go away.

Morning Constitutional Amendment, Article One
We the people
How little we understand
Of what we see—
(Flash of insight)—as in
How did that false dawn get past me?
Time to stop gallivanting
And look again
At what we didn’t see.
