problems

you have so many
things going right
for you that you
constantly worry . . .

about which one of them
will go wrong
and that keeps your
mind blown. . .

so instead of
listening to me
you pay a psychiatrist
big bucks for a
differently worded
conclusion . . .

1999

I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

Boston Blackie style 2011

troubled pathways
in my sight
posing jokers
left and right
i wonder if
it all will pass
or be another
juggernaut?
no one knows
the hidden truth
or even
tries to guess
if the wall
is solid stone
or just a mirror
made of glass . . .

1986

Too blue

Too blue to be you . . .
