Common Ground

Muse, I’m at a loss for words— 

Each step I take towards you, 

You take one back—please, 

Don’t be so mean—like everyone else, 

I too wonder what all this artful dodging means. 

Cupid's Arrow, Deflected

You said you were going 

To show me how 

Much you needed me. And me? 

I turned away and missed 

Your point completely. 

Hamming It Up at Grauman's Chinese Theater

After hands-down performance, 

head temporarily in firmament— 

feat soon to be cast 

permanently in cement.

Gesture

unmistakable 

streaming unerring beck 

a song 

birds call. 

Et Leviathan Ego

I swear if I were God, I’d tear a hole 

In the heavens to hide myself, 

Knowing full well that blasphemy 

And evil so dark 

The universe would rend itself asunder to know.
