Mellencamp 2.0
if i were middle class like a Romney
i’d open a coffee shop
in a small town
that has more than 12 of them
if i were middle class like a Romney
i’d rage against all my published books
selling on Amazon
while sipping my coffee in a small town
that is already filled with them
if i were middle class like a Romney
i’d start as many wars as i could
because the small towns
are full of them

It’s a McDreamy World
A primal punch from a peaceful man can’t teach a primeval man to think.

Section Legend
as the legend goes
right after the horn section
comes the section that hands out free beer and 5-dollar bills
thus explaining
how legends go

Business Plan
My old business plan…required that untold numbers of fed-up American workers needed to be in the streets, petitioning the government for a redress of grievances so that I could photograph them.
My new business plan…requires union-free bitter coffee to be served in a paper cup with the message “Come Together” scribbled on it, because Howard Schultz has a lame sense of humor.

A Pair
You
All washed up
And me
All out of wind

Waiting On a Sign
Go this way
I love you so much, I’d take my last 3 dollars…and buy you a 60 dollar Wii game
life would be easier
if it came with a manual
some directions
or a sign
just point me in the right direction
and i’d go there
show me the way
and i’ll drive there
give me a hint!
some instruction
a clue perhaps?
i work hard
i play hard
and i spend hard
how?
where?
what the hell do you want?
when will i know
who’s gonna say
i can’t help you
if you don’t
show me
the way
damn!
life would be easier
if it came with a manual
some directions
or a sign

Blurred Windows of Opportunity
Waiting for you
Is like staring through two dirty windows

Waiting for you
Is like staring through two dirty windows
Each filter viewed by

Waiting for you
Is like staring through two dirty windows
Each other filtered by
