shameless book promotion time! another selection from my 2nd poetry collection ‘scotch & scars’ from 2020.

a hill to some is a mountain to others. light to some is darkness to others. i guess what i’m saying is please don’t ever judge unless you wear the same shoes…

‘scotch & scars’ is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review.

today’s selection is:

‘bank account’

all the money in the world

why would he go and hang himself?

i pondered the question

sipped my scotch

while conversation surged through the bar

an incoming tide of bewilderment

and bullshit.

i had one more for the road.

sometimes i drive the highway

when it is empty and dark

with my eyes closed tight.

i do this without a buck to spare

in my wallet.
