  Hi everyone!!  Yes it's me and I'm bugging you all again with vain attempts at writing.  So heres another one spur of the moment.  Why, you ask.  Well simple, I'm VERY nervous about Sunday night.  I have been talked into doing a reading of three of my poems.  Not a big deal you say, yeah right!  Just me, the mic, and those faces staring at you, YIKES!


HELP!!!!!!

I'm looking for that door
that will lead me to the bathroom
or some other salvation
away from my own made horrors
that seem to want to consume me.

What the hell have I done
with the brain that God
or Buddah, or Mahamed
gave this body, or is it
just a myth that you think
better under pressure.

Take it easy, you say,
easy for you to say
when your the one with
double latte, foamed over with cream
smoking that cancer stick
and looking at me through imitation Raybans.

I going to get sick
and when that happens I hope
you'll finnally see the real
person who's nervous, and scared
and wonders why the hell he even pretends
to know what he hell he's writing about.

But then,
My latte comes and I can laugh out loud.

In a smog of cloud of smoke, nervously eyeing the sun, because I've not a clue as to where in the hell are my ray-bans---and I like this much...I say if the sun comes up...order a bloody mary and call that breakfast...   and I like your poetry too.
