I Wait
Thoughts overtake actions.
I contemplate.
What will be my fate?
I rate
the scenarios I create.
I state
my intention to initiate one.

I Wait
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.

A Bad Waiter
A Bad Waiter
I wish I were
a good waiter,
content to sit
in the car and
crawl past the
orange cones.
Relaxed when
standing in
any line.
Unphased by
the ticking away
of the time
it takes to navigate
daily tasks.
Will I ever become one?
I'll have to wait and see.
Are you a good waiter?

Road Work
Road Work
He stands
in the
middle of
the lane,
dressed in
reflective clothes.
He holds
a sign.
STOP
I do.
I sit.
I stare
at an
empty lane.
He turns
the sign
with authority.
SLOW
The motion
of his
hand signals
GET GOING
Do you have a story involving road construction? Have you written about it?
