OFF DUTY

there's my bus -
hey, hey!


THE #5

She’s in German.
The only word I know is Hitler,
but I’m up on perfume,
so I give her left buttock a squeeze
and then it’s my stop.


GISELA

it took me a few hours
to realize
I want that ocean


97% WATER


that’s me
sitting next to
my big brother the ocean

a salty bathing beauty
on the blankie next door

you better be nice to me girl
or I’ll sick my big bro' on you

he of the rapetide
he of the dangerous undertow


A DOG

with its head out the side
of a moving vehicle,
barking at everything it goes by –
now ain’t that the truth!
