Tomorrow says Wait and See
Wait started asking Why?
See Here asks When?
What asks Who Knows?
Not Sure says Why ask?
Now Then requests stop asking
We are doing all right.

You're Dead Meat
Strapped up tight
bandit style white mask
blue sweaty gloves
keeping safe distance
Extremely upset Granny
flying into wild rage
violent ferocious attack
solid walking stick
Next time you
wait outside the bathroom
dressed like that
you're dead meat!

Why are You not Wearing Your Scarf ?
Too tight
Neck complaining
feeling warm
Body warning
Taking off
hanging loose
draping over
comfortable chair
Speak Easy
night ended
homeward bound
forgetting scarf
Both Neck
and Body
said together
Never mind
Only when
freezing cold
antarctic wind
they say
Why are
You not - - -
Wearing your scarf ?

A Tall Glass of Yesterday
Bottled up tight
blanked out regrets
bitter taste
hard to swallow
that lingers longer
than it should
dark memories
stand tall again.
