Transitions: A Hobo's View
They once stood naked,
Embarrassed to swing,
Cellulites, whispered their ages; except
Scaled ones like snakes,
Shiny films, peel like plastic.

And pristine is my hat;
My dress is 1922....
My life is all like that.

Red Apples
Your apples look so edible
So shiny red and bright.
It would be so incredible
If I can take a crunchy bite!

Goldfish
Goldfish swim in aquarium.
Shiny scales, vegetarian.
Graceful twist of flowing tails.
Gossamer translucent ghostly veils.

Tear
Tear
Is like hanged wet cloth
Some looks shiny
Some looks cheap
Some easy to dropp water
Some hard to be squeezed
Some quickly to dry
Some must wait much longer

Machine Shop
a radio sings
against the scream
of turning steel.
(heavy metal)
air settles
corners seldom touched.
pinups gaze
through haze at
shiny shavings
(bare)
on concrete floor.
