To give
without his giving,
he smugly
summoned
his
imagination
for an
adventure
in faux
generosity
Envisioning
a valise
bursting
with thick bundles
of
hundred-dollar bills,
he rose
into the air
to soar
across the city
Startling
the needy
at a food
pantry,
he thrust
his largesse
into
anxious hands,
pleased
with himself

Is life
worth living
as a fan
The answer
is yes
if the fan
enjoys the
games
I am a fan
too
as a reader
of books,
as a
watcher of films,
and in the
theater
enjoying
those games
The
writers, the actors,
the
technicians
perform
like athletes
but on film
or paper
or on the
stage

DREAM DANCER, on Kindle
Leaking
from my aura
energy
puddles at my feet
leaving my
unwieldy body
struggling
to stay awake
Dozing
marks my days,
waking
marks my nights
Dozing is
so pleasurable,
waking is
exasperating
A suggestion try my novel, BEN
CONNOLLY in the PARIS COMMUNE, on
Kindle
Romance is
the sauce,
Love is the
substance
Together
they make
two lives
worth living
Lingering
like a seed,
bursting
into glory
when two
bodies are joined
in carnal
connection
A

TRUCKERS, on Kindle
Doubters,
Rejecters, Deniers
stumbling
angrily through life,
weighed
down by disbelief
What a sad,
sad milieu
Like a
malignant beacon
guiding
them to tyranny,
Donald
towers atop
a mountain
of his lies
Discard the
winner,
replace the
elected
with the
selfish loser
to rule
forever
A
suggestion: try my novel, THE
ABSCONDER, on Kindle
A child is
born
opening the
world
to
possibilities
as a new
spreader of joy
or a beast
of anxiety
Each of us
grows
in our own
way,
starting
with so much
or enduring
little,
going where
life carries us
Success comes
in pieces,
perhaps
even moments,
a
reflection of our lives,
traveling
the road we chose
to
celebration or sorrow
