Herman Shorts

third circle (completion)

first
fruits
hardly
a handful,
the garden
a weedy mess.
 
inevitable success
makes an old man lazy.
 
some sneering kids
with shining eyes
ought to come
kick my ass
to the beat
of my own
punk rock
heart.

2016

if ever someone is

if ever someone is my dearest ear who hears my truth as theirs
solipsist's first date

excuse me, i thought you were also the center of a fractal
that's what she said

man, it’s hard to come down from impossible hopes seemingly
sometimes a hawk

of course it is not about you. you have to know this, like baby birds know worms come with mother’s return,
nice place

god is unwelcome in suburbia, the cells are too comfortable there, & love rests best under stars.
