there’s nothing about me to explain
I’m not all that deep
much too dumb to be deep
as Popeye sez
I yam whot I yam
I usually
make myself pretty clear
eh . . . my reputation maybe shaky
but I’m not complex
or not clear
though I used to be myopic
but seeing life
on many different fronts
altered my views
these days if I don’t like you
it’s because I don’t like YOU
no other reason
my life is an open book
really, Misdemeanors & Felonies: A Memoir
I write my poetry
with a smirk and a scowl
just the way I am
even so
there are tears in my lewd stuff
I’m not long for this old world
it’s coming
that guy with the scythe
after I’m gone
there will be things said about me
better not lie
I’ll be listening
and down the road
what you might think is Karma
will really be me, capise!

you is what you is

you are the real deal
that comes through
your poetry like a
breath of fresh air to the reader

being sincere when writing, is quite excellent, not safe sometimes in real life, but very interesting, thanks Jerry for the very good writing
