Untitled (The First of Autumn)
The leaves rattle from the first dead windfall, Chains of winter upon the ground. In the alley above, a web of power-lines, And the moon, fat old tarantula, laying her billowy sacks in the sky.

Untitled (From a night in a trailer park)
Singing cheep love songs in a trailer park Written for some candy whore elsewhere in the world By a horny rocker drunk on fame. We sit and listen to the shit that must be said To slow down a short life going by too fast, But one can’t smooth out without shallowing, So our lives are worn down to wading depth.
