Out of Bounds
Sometimes I miss the basket.
Don't even hit the rim.
But a teammate grabs
the ball and puts it in.
Other times, the ball gets away.
We send it out of bounds.
The other team gets a chance
to make a play.

Out of Bounds
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.

No Games Today
No Games Today
I thought some players
would dribble in,
but time ran out
before they could get here.
I should have known
they would get called for traveling.
