Guitar of Spiritual Tension

Tension tears my chords
the ones of soul
the physically quivering sinews
even the one below.
I wait for signs
on computer or phone
that this long drought
is at last over
and a job exists
bearing only my name.
Hell, I might share
if only to relax
but until that moment
you could strum me
like a human guitar
if only I was
able to be tuned.

He Got "Hulked" - A Poem of the Hallway Social Club

So Hollywood invaded our hallway
in a subtle manner tonight
as life imitated a film
when the Kid got Hulked.

It started out old school
with that "Hurts Donut" joke
that with a simple flinch
evolved into a hilarious moment.

As "Pops" walked slowly by
a little while after dinner
he shot his arm out
just like Hulk bashed Thor.

The Kid was totally offguard
and already caught in mirth
over the no look shot
he was taking right then.

He bounced off the wall
slid down to dirty floor
laughing so hard over it
we all had to join.

It got worse for him
as I quipped the comment
that made us all roar
as he bounced down there....
"He got Hulked".
