Oddball Bowling with Frankenstein
I’m a writer
a poet
a thinker
Offside the page
I'm a simple guy
My life grinds verbs out at a slow pace
I love space
long stretches of unencumbered time
I enjoy simple activities
I'm not sculpted out of marble like Adonis or Fabio
but I can be found on a dance floor,
I don’t like a lot of chaos
I’m not into drugs
nor do I want to be around them
you're free to use them
but nowhere near me
I don’t care for expensive things either
I have no desire to own property
I simply loathe wasting time
keeping up a spacious dwelling
mowing lawns and gardening
don’t get me wrong, I like green things
and I’m happy that other people like to grow them
I've had enough of milking goats and pulling weeds back on the farm
I’ll watch though with a notebook and pen from afar
I've not always been such serious an ideologue
I do have a silly side
I love to watch stupid comedies
roll on the floor in a laugh
play Scrabble or chess or a game of chance
bet on thoroughbreds spinning around a track
I like sharing life, my life with your life
or whomever chances by
a meal
a conversation
a long walk
a trance gaze into eyes
an exchange of nonverbal knowing
a look-back into a journey
faces and shapes of DNA
this may sound alien
did I mention that I love to dance
a caller beautifies squares or cooks up a heated contra
or to wind a partner into a slow mesmerizing waltz
