Poem for George Pate!

The magical George

plays video games all day!

Who doesn't love George?!

Waiting with the Lights Out

Waiting with the Lights Out

Flicker fleck blue light

is all I've got for comp'ny,

and dull headset buzz.

You're a Good Actress

You're a Good Actress

You're a good actress,

and no matter what you think,

I'll always think so.

Catchin' Up for a Loooooooooong Gap

So...yeah. Missed a few months. But luckily, I'm in a full tech rehearsal with nothing to do. And you know what that means!

Haikus!

Tech Rehearsals

Tech rehearsals rock!

I sit, stop, wait, go, stop, hold,

go again....fuck it.

A Quickie on Candy Corn

A Quickie on Candy Corn

Though fused of bric-a-brac,

I would die for those colors!

The Yellow-Orange-White! Forever!

Blind Tom's Blind

Blind Tom's Blind

Blind Tom's blind

and everyone can see it,

everyone one can see it

save for him.

Blind Tom thinks all men are silent,

since no one speaks when he's around.

He wouldn't hear them anyway,

his ears long rotten

by his years.

Every sound runs through

the semi-plastic parts

inside the box

inside his ear

inside his steam-powered brain,

and every chime and tune

sounds telegraphic,

dead since 1980.

Blind Tom's breath

gets funnelled through a tube,

express direct

to lungs,

and all his hands have felt for fourty years

is the head of his cane,

crackin' 'neath his touch.

Every man is blind to Tom,

since no one seems to see him,

and therefore he lives unaware,

livin' on 'n on 'n on,

in bliss,

While the rest of the world,

loses sight of him.

A Quickie on a Phone Call

A Quickie on a Phone Call

Call someone! Say they're great!

Every breath you send to them

will send them soaring, happy, free!
