pictures of trees taken in

other states, times when I ain't

take no pictures of people

metal shaped with scorching fire
and iron mallets outlasts
the simple men who shaped it

pastel hotel with ragged

palms and emptied pool forty

years past its tourist trap prime

spotty spray paint defaces

cheap vinyl siding on tar

paper and plywood patterns

I sprayed a heart on a post

for this chick, but then the club

went out of business for good

beachfront pastel hotel full

of budweiser people on

weeklong corona upgrade

scoping the night scene with a
sniper's eye, drinking warm beer
on a beach town balcony

a concrete wall, set in place
by human hands, a canvas
now for rust and waterstains

florida strip club champagne
room, where out of this square world
experiences await

bird shit, blue skies, and simpsons
opening credit clouds glaze
my eyes with leisurely thoughts

no junkie's shopping cart is
long enough to match the gulf
coast ambition behind these

concrete abomination
in front of a chicken joint;
my favorite part of town

Weekly Recap

I haven't had anything to recap the past week or so, but this week I got back into the swing of football opinions for you. Namely, over at Armchair Linebacker, I had a lengthy and personalize write-up about the Albert Haynesworth/Mike Shanahan thing going on with the Redskins. Additionally, starting next week, I'll be covering the NFL at Heavy, which has some questionable content, which means I'll probably fit in well there.
Additionally, the Florida Heat Wave collection of which I have a story in is actually available now (here it is at Amazon, or direct from the publisher).
