well you guys here's one for ya'll:


i walked to the store
-yesterday-
sun shining.
pretty girls smile
i laugh them off.
neighborhood kid,
asks for a five...
i give it to him.
old people sit,
tell me hi
i wave.
i reached the store,
it was closed.
how odd.
i turned around and went home.

and here's another one:

the stars floated in their deep black sea
like wooden ships of days of old
gently moving from one point to the next.
and a gentle wind wisped and played
grabbing autumn leaves fresh fallen fromtrees
taking them on a loopy ride
to their final resting place.
and quietly i sat
there under an old, wide oak
listening to the everpresent symphony
of the creatures of the night:
a croak in the dark distance,
spiny legs rubbing together to rivalPaginini,
the low hoot of nature's oboe.
i sighed a deep sigh of exhaustion
and rested my weary eyes a bit
thinking how happy i was to be alive.
