All on the Run

                                    the found
                                    the forgotten
                                    the remembered
                                    the free and all the long timers
                                    All on the run
                                    One way or another

Often Wounded

         The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline for truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically their virtues make them vulnerable ; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

Torch I Carry

               The torch i carry is handsome
               It's worth it's heartache in ransom
               But when the twilight steals
               I know how the lady in the harbor feels

Bartender Knows Your Name

           You know you have a drink problem when the bartender knows your name and you know you've never been to that bar before.

Cinderella After Midnight

             Then Sully, the girl with a scandalous grin and smack back slits for eyes walked in as if she were Cinderella after midnight, both shoes still on, sprung on rocks, hunting for her princely tick. I stumbled with lust at the sight of her. I thought, any man worth his testosterone would slash his wrists for a chance to swim in those eyes.

Furious Rhythm

         The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm, geometry and anguish.
