Is it November yet?

The leaf peeper peeps are all in town
“CAN WE SPLIT IT FOUR WAYS”
They wolf it down
“CAN WE HAVE DIET COKE”
Well we don’t have that
“THEN BRING ME SOME WATER”
In seconds flat
“I WANT A GRILLED CHEESE”
The kiddies scream
AND CUT OFF THE CRUST
Well Jim won’t be pleased
WHICH WAY IS NORTH CONWAY
It’s right down the road
DO YOU HAVE ANY MAPS
Well, you where just told

They leave you a dollar
And off they go
Is it November yet?
This is getting old
Already

Cool Kids


The cool kid’s all
Too cool for you
Breeze through a tree
Poised and smooth
A cut above something
Taller than you

A distance so far
Up high to climb
Clawing and Scratching
Inside your mind
An awkward smile
And you fall behind

Now is the time
To realize a clue 
Over your shoulder
And long overdue
Someone behind
Looking up at you

Dollar Store Employee


Letting loose of all my thoughts
They bust out give you all I have
Was it something I should spend?

You gave me what you had
Mostly on hand for the crowd
 A handful of change was left for me

I hate the dollar store

Threads


Elusive threads
Stitched in time
Unknown to me
Left behind
Connections
Not to bear in mind

Surrounding me
I now see
A  woven fabric
Wide and warm
Connecting threads
That once were worn

The tapestry
Is now complete
On my shoulders
Is where they keep  
With my love and
Thanks so deep

Painted


Painted all across the sky
The colors that were you and I
And from the sky the colors seep
Into a well
Where we will keep
Will keep our palettes
For next time
We lay a brush across the sky

Untitled


You take and shake me
Out of my deep deep slumber
I am awake with smiles and heart
Too much at times
Too much for you
Thank you and goodbye
Someday someone
Will shake you too
