We Real Cool

The Pool Players.
Seven At The Golden Shovel.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

New Years Eve

Junky, chunky
Fattening filling.
Noisy sparks of various hues.
Silly feet tapping out nonsense
gatherings of drunk and
not.
Mistakes are forgotten;
Pick yourself up and try again.

Perfection

So much depends

upon

Brown eyes looking

into blue

Wrapped in his

quiet arms

Knowing everything

is perfect.
