Wait For Sugar Man
Always second best
Never the love interest
Put me to the test.
Your ship came to port
Washed in by wind and tide.
Again, you missed your ride.
Down and out again
Fall back on your fallback plan
Wait for sugar man.
Down and out again
Same old means mean same old ends.
Pays to have true friends.

My opinion column garnered more reader responses than any other contributor in the paper's 40-year run. As a stand-up comic, I performed in 16 countries & 26 states. I've written 2 one-man shows, umpteen poems, songs, essays & chronologies.
A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.
