The Dance

Perform,
Damn it!

They judge,
You deliver:

Your heart,
Your body,
Your mind,
Your soul.

And hope –
No, pray –
That your all is enough

To breathe,
Once again,

To hold
Your head high.

Free Samples

Please,
Just toss away
Your napkin,

So as not
To pollute my tray.

I'd hate for others
To catch an illness,

Like your lack
Of common courtesy,
Today.

Blue Collar

I've died
A few times before.

Havin' slaved, labored,
Like a two-bit whore,

Just to cater to
Her every whim

Before she ran,
Out the door,
Seekin' life again.
