the reaper drives a dodge
the older kind
with the big wheels
that will go anywhere

he parks in front too
like the cops cars do
no secret that he is here
wants everyone to know

he meets me for coffee
3 days a week with
empty eyes and broken teeth
he says I am dying too slow

suicide with gravy he says
and chuckles his grin
says it is ok though
I am a good guy

and I shouldn't die young
he never pays when it is time
leaves the check for me
sends his money to mexico

to maria for his son
that wants to come to cali
and work the gringo farms
and be a reaper like his pa

for six dollars and some change

When poets look into all meanings
of words, and tag their lines just right,
then the tricks are granted
a success.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

I love reading you!

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
