Sitting here
observing the scene 
what does it mean
playing by the rules
 in a dream
bread crumbs and cream

This is why I don't write
the trouble
the trouble
he get in my way
(at The Someday Cafe
 playing reggae)

Don't talk to me 
my fish are burning
they run to the sea
to be cool

sodium light
on black pavement
shine
shine
no one can stop it
tonight

happy hamburger
mobile fish
here they wait
they want meat
plow the fields
answer the door
They're coming
 we don't want them 
They have the answer

they grew
from a seed
I saw them
I saw them feed
feed me

feed me oats
feed me corn
make me remember
the day I Was born

A boy
sitting on a bike 
smoking a jag 
going for a hike 
why is he here 
where I can see

Brandeis Roberts
late at night
a crowded bus stop
on a train to nowhere


(7/28/1995 9:08pm, Poems- Ok)

He walks on
with his teeshirt 
wipes his hair 
with his hand 
the man in the train


(7/28/1995 9:10pm, Poems- Ok)

This is it. 
Lightning poetry 
in a moving box on wheels 
what a deal

She is skeptical
as she watches
from her seat
who am I
with this thing 
writing


(7/28/1995 9:24pm, Poems- Ok)

Here I am
alone in the station
with the phones on the wall
for the train man
he rolls in,
he can reach out
and touch someone


(7/28/1995 9:29pm, Poems- Ok)

I write
by the sea
it keeps my mind clear 
you see.
for the thoughts 
that come
like fish


(7/28/1995 9:40pm, Poems- Ok)

Here in the cafe
they talk
incessantly
I am interested in them 
Sociologically


 (7/28/1995 9:58pm, Poems- Ok)
 
Onto the next 
the man yells 
my coach
he knows best
past the doubt 
and memories


(7/28/1995 10:01pm, Poems- Ok)

oh it's not as painful 
this time
give me another chance 
watch the 
careful there
thanks
