The words were muddy
the feelings clear
The blues on fire
—the ending near
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
Centennial Fury
The great American Songbook
whose words march off the page
Its music now a footnote
—to a century of rage
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
Thespian Misstep
There are stages you run to
and from stages to hide
The performance of a lifetime
or the shame that will chide
There are actors in character
and actors on loan
One change in direction
—and all meaning has flown
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
