Crime Spree


You steal from the world
when you do not seek your potential.

You cheat the galaxy
when you do not explore your uniqueness.

You rob the universe
when you withhold the best that you are.

Night Light

Forget who I was,
Blackbird, and let me become
The impossible
Starfish with impunity
Like pine without the needles.

In Memoriam Harvey Pekar

Cleveland ain’t nobody’s
Baby but mine, Ma Rainey
Shoulda sung on this
Vinyl Seventy-Eight race
Record in prime condition.

A starling who steals
a gold necklace lines its nest
and still grubs for worms.
