the trouble with poetry is
thunderous clouds of uncertainty
in the room as well as the sky
souls laid bare visible to the naked eye

inside
i'm no scribe
can't hide monotonous diatribe
no windowed world view
just a faded watercolour of shifting hues
watching grey's melt into blues

Generation Gap-ped

Who cares what I have to say
Just a middle aged dad with a mortgage to pay
Who am I, 
well if you listen to the rumours 
I'm to old to be millennial, 
to young to be a boomer.

Too lazy to read
Too busy to chew
No time to have a
Conversation with you

Leave me a message
Leave me alone
Why would you talk to someone
On the phone

Who carries cash
Who calls a cab
No need to leave home, 
I'm the immobile hermit crab.
