palm trees shaking fronds
strong wind, sand blasts eyes
one day weekend roars minute to hour

comfort spot
words and coffee
printer agrees to cruise

chapbook't promise
an old collection
refreshes my mind

what was new
glows with burnished time
years are a gift

the snow has begun
they say no stop till Monday
I sat a case of beer outside my door
to cool, let god handle my 'lectric bill

did I hear someone say Billectric?
let god handle him too
The S & W is a good gun
but it won't fire across the State line

not in the snow

White is the color you cannot see
even doves have black eyes
the muzzle flash from a Smith & Wesson
is white as the doorbell to eternity
White is the color you cannot see.

You never hear the shot that kills you
so the dead say and they should know
with bullet chambered
I'll take death by snow

The sheets are white
renders my rude instrument
invisible
pull the trigger
my love for you
is a pristine weapon under snow

nothin like the smell
wet wooly dog
tongue lapping
dripping jumping
steamy breath leads the way
gloves under gloves
yellow snow trails

out there where the huskies go
there is visible respiration
even though it is the white yoga
of dog breath and effort just to live

they ain't no mo eskimos
living in houses of ice
they have double wides
and the blubber comes in cans

Automatics don't work above
the Art-ic Circle
You need a revolver there
Smith & Wesson

a forest lawn for words, yes
two days sober, whoreless
to view a field of graves
Here Lies some BobService
of the hours' "Ode",
to his grandma's attic
or perhaps waxing vatic
the sight of the sun
fall at the railroad shack;
another ignominious Kerouac's
whacks buried 6 feet
dunder and wightening
