For Jack Collom
10 Things I do Every Day
play poker
drink beer
smoke pot
jack off
curse
BY THE WATERS OF MANHATTAN
flower
positive & negative
go home
read lunch poems
hunker down

Life goes by

NO HELP WANTED
Hunting For The Whale
“and if the weather plays me fair
I’m happy every day.”
The white that dries clear
the heart attack
the congressional medal of honor
A house in the country
NOT ENOUGH
