Lost and Found
Lost once,
years ago.
I thought,
never to be found again.
It grew 3 sizes that day.
My heart.
After kisses,
after more than that.

On the Beach
On the Beach
My favorite boots
of all time,
zip-up black
leather booties
with snakeskin
down the front.
I wore them
on the beach,
inundated with
salt water.
Never the same after that.
Shoes either.

Super Star
Super Star
In stiletto heels
I sing out
to the balcony seats.
In a long sequined dress
a chanteuse
serenades.
Only a dream.
Just a dream.

One Way of Looking at the World
One Way of Looking at the World
My way,
or the highway.
I try to see your point of view,
but it's like wearing someone else's glasses.
I can't see straight.

Guessing Games
Guessing Games
What are we
doing here?
Where are we heading?
Let's just enjoy the moment.
But questions keep nagging
at me. Maybe you too?
Right now, you sitting
on my bedroom floor,
plotting for the Democrats.
Me writing poems.
What will happen?
It's anybody's guess.

Location, Location, Location
Location, Location, Location
Boise's cool now.
Seattle's uncool.
Traffic sucks.
Portland's always been cool.
Homeless add atmosphere and local
flavor like raisins in an oatmeal muffin.
New York and L.A. have lost
their cachet.
Atlanta and San Antonio
are on the rise.
Better live in the cool part
of town, the cool city.
Even if you have to sell your condo
and rent an apartment.
