Writing is like carrying a fetus.
~Edna O’Brien
Much of writing might be described as mental pregnancy with successive difficult deliveries.

Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it. ~Truman Capote

Seasoned
It’s fall and football at Soldier Field
Chicago burns but they don’t yield
Wired for sound fueled by beer
Fans go nuts, scream for da Bears!

Love Note
Dear John letter fresh from home
Survival skills perfectly honed
Finest point man in all 4th Batt
Saw fit to trip the hot wire trap
Sue, he sighed before he died
Good soldiers cry, but only once

scarper
jailbreak after supper
bring the wire cutter
trade prison stripes for pinstripe
sentence time for wedding hype
hard core types for baby wipes
she’s a doll, a man could fall
flee concrete stalls
climb mile high walls
but this soldier’s going AWOL
twice

5-7-5 x 5
wire from headquarters
soldier on to Galveston
hurricane today
~
cars worth a fortune
sold your vintage collection
why are you crying
temp: 100+
sold your air conditioner
why aren’t you frying
stole your lands away
sold your native heritage
why aren’t you dying
sold your haunted house
orphanage of your childhood
why are you crying
