I once dreamt of a far better world:
A place where spring is perpetual
I could feel the light breeze
Send sounds of rain
And the scent of worms in dirt
Through the open windows of my mind
With my eyes closed I saw
Endless fields of flowers
Buds ever on the verge
But not yet bloomed
The sun was always rising
Now I only wish:
No one had bad breath
Or chin hair
No one needed glasses
Especially not me
Support hose— sexy as hell
Yes, I guess hell is sexy
Why else would that be a saying?
Fifty might be the new black
If only I didn’t want to write political posts
About a fluorescent orange blowhard
It would be spring again
With my eyes closed

In The Midst of It All
My job was back breaking although I worked it everyday
I hated the job, but I worked there anyway. I drank
heavily after work to dissolve the pain and hurt while absorbing the dust and dirt. At the end of the week, the money I earned was already spent. On bills, food and rent. On fuel in the car, in which I could not afford to drive far. As far as to work and back, where I sat intoxicated alone.
Where I never received any calls on the phone. The kids are now grown, and homelessness is the only person that haven’t left me alone. In the midst of it all, I have dreams, I have plans, I have visions of one day becoming a better man. Because I have issues to deal with, and I need to take a stand.
Well done, indeed!!
