Isometrics

 

What do you think of

isometric exercises?

The long and short of it,

they’re a stretch.

 

 

Underdog

 

A friend once said to me, if I had my life to live over,

     I’d live over a delicatessen.

I responded, if I had my life to live over,

     I’d take the points on the over/under spread.

 

 

I’m Off

 

Have a good trip

       Call you tonight

Safe travels

       Bye

Love ‘ya

       Love you too

Bye

       Bye

Bye

 

 

Overheard

 

‘ya know,

     like basically,

it’s like again,

     like whatever,

i’m just saying

dude, okay

 

 

The Market

 

Like an itch, uncomfortable, painful

yet a perverse delight to watch the

streaming symbols

dance a complex rhythm of

elation and despair.

 

Values are threatened,

life manipulated, emotions roiled,

conversation and interest

manipulated, easily jumbled to

converge on the crawl.

 

Where is the work and dreams

of hands and hearts that

toil with purpose and passion

for a moment when life’s

mysteries are revealed?
