Say What?

There’s always more 
To be said once 
 
You say it so you can 
Say it again.

Long-winded Poet Running Out Of Steam?

From where I’m sitting, here
In the boondocks
 
Of the southern Peloponnese 
And nowhere
 
Near the grandstands, you still look to be 
Definitely in it for the long run, so why
Are you always so
 
Short of breath?

Pied Peter Piper's Dark Buffalo Ditty

My boy, keep this 
In mind 
 
No matter where 
You might go or do, 
 
You’re more than likely 
To meet more 
 
Than your share of stark 
Blank stares waiting 
 
In line expressly for you— 
For Pete’s sake, 
 
Whatever you do, if 
And when you happen 
 
To see the dullish whites 
Of their eyes, forget the ears 
 
And aim right for their hearts, 
Keeping in mind what 
 
I taught you—always 
Use plenty 
 
Of live lovely ammo, too.

Disambiguating Alarming Thought

Louse, 
At the first hint 
Of one 
 
More stinking, bare- 
Faced lie, here it comes 
And what a sight— 
 
Such stuff of a pure 
Blackguard cur frothing 
At the mouth that keeps 
 
Your false teeth oh so truly 
Flashing pearly white!

To Dream, Perchance To Sleep

Lest you can’t 
Write anything 
 
That comes to 
Mind first thing 
 
You wake up 
In the morning,
 
No use going back 
To sleep—it’s past 
 
Time to dream 
You did.
