There’s no
difference between
Zen &
the Mafia.

life brushed me aside
Life Brushes Me Aside
I get
up in
life’s
face &
life
brushes
me aside
like a
swarm of
mosquitoes.

one of the gang
One of the Gang
Somewhere down
deep he
supposes it’s
possible he
still thinks
he should
be or
even worse
wishes
he were
one of
the gang.

deciphering the code
Deciphering the Code
I write
to myself
in code,
that’s
what it’s
come to,
& I’m
amazed
by what
I decipher.
Others read
the code
& shake
their heads.
“Poor sod,”
they say.
“He’s lost
his grip
on reality.”

spicy sex life
Spicy Sex Life
Anyone who
relies on
AARP to
spice up
their sex
life is
someone I
don’t even
want to
sit next
to on
a bus.

rodeo cats
Rodeo Cats
They don’t
know
it’s rodeo.
They keep
darting
across the
busy street
to challenge
each other’s
territory.
Before it’s
over half
the cats
in the
neighborhood
will be
slaughtered
by pick-ups.
Small price
to pay
for a
fun-filled
weekend.
