Rata-tat-tata-tata-rata-tata-ra-ta-tat:
heart drumbeats
simple beats
easy as it looks
rata-tat-tat-tat -
beguile me for awhile
i’m easy:
tell me your stories like lies
of flies on walls
i too saw it all;
tell me your truths & heartbreaks
rata-tata -
life’s easy
getting by is getting by
but life’s easy &
happiness is easy as a choice -
simple beats:
rata-tat-tat-tat -
easy as it looks.

    I love your poetry. You should share it with more than the readers of your blog. Have you submitted it for publication?

      Thanks! I think about publishing, sometimes, but then it just seems like an awful lot of work. Maybe I’ll be one of those old dudes who starts publishing stuff when he’s 70.
